thanks for sharing your success :)

It has been a long journey and I am about 10 to 15 lbs away from my goal weight depending on whether you ask me or my dr, and it has been hard but so worth it!
I have lost over 100lbs now and gone from size 24 to size 8 jeans and bought my first bikini in 10 years. I’m not sure if I have the lady balls to actually wear it but, well… Anyway…
I’d love to say I’ve totally changed everything about my life and it’s all wine and roses. Life’s not really like that though. I’m still a stay at home mom I still have a hard time putting myself first most of the time and dammit I still just want a cookie sometimes.
The thing is, I still feel fantastic. I still smile when I pass a mirror because I get that ” holy crap, that’s me!” feeling. I still start to go to the plus section and then remember I can go to juniors if I want, and I just want to giggle.
These are the things that keep me going when I have a crappy day. I also carry pictures of myself at my heaviest and tell my story every chance I get.
Some days it’s easy some days are awful. But it’s better than the alternative. I’m glad I decided to take charge of my life and loose the weight. I’m not sure where I’d be right now if I didn’t, at the rate I was gaining I more than likely would have very serious health problems and I don’t even want to speculate what all I would have missed.
