Scale Victory: I'm now in the normal weight BMI category

So this weekend was big for me. I've didn't fall off the wagon per se in June and for for the first part of July, as I didn't gain, but I didn't really lose either. But as the new r/loseit challenge was starting I figured I'd push myself a bit harder to get to where I wanted to be to start.

This weekend I weighed in at 87kg (191lbs) and that puts me at the very top of 'healthy' weight as per the BMI scale for my height. I haven't been in this range since before I graduated high school. I'm incredibly proud of myself, but I also doubted myself so I summoned the Boyfriend to also see the number on the scale. He confirmed I wasn't seeing things. I still have a very long way to go, but I've come super far from my starting weight of 127kg (or really the last known weight I had to 'start' from, I know I weighed more than that though but I can't put a number to it).

I am excited to finish this out. It's one of the few things in my life I'll have ever finished and it's even pushed me to finish writing the first draft of a story I've been working on for years. If I can lose and maintain weight loss then I should be able to finish a draft just fine.

My life is greating improving. I've got bad days, but I also know that it's okay to not be okay sometimes. Good luck to everyone else on your journey!
