Its week 9 of my journey and I have lost 30lbs. Yessah Buddy Boy! My god does it feel good to say that out loud especially after last week when I gained two pounds. I hoppedon the scale on Thursday expecting to see high numbers again and when I saw 254, I knew I just had to push it a little bit more to get down to 30lbs by today's weigh in. I just had to get that 30lbs this week because I was getting sick of saying 20 something pounds when people were asking. I had been to this point before. I would fit better into my clothes, people would make comments asking if I had lost weight. I would loose my focus on the goal and the life style wouldn't stick. The weight would creep back up and all the hard work would be gone just like that...
But that was years ago and my healthy future looks bright. This 30lbs is just the starting point to feeling GREAT about myself instead of just GOOD! There are too many of you out there supporting me now to ever look back. I have to keep going, keep pushing. So many of you message me privately about the new goals you have for yourself because I have inspired you to do so but you have it all wrong. You are the only who can conquer your obstacles, your own mountains. Say it out loud. What do you want and what are you doing to get it done? Comment on this post and tell me, tell others. Its amazing how much more I think I can accomplish now that I know there are people out there behind me. I triple dog dare you to post. (According to the Christmas Story that's the dare of all dares that when presented you HAVE to do it)
For all of you who were wondering if the boy from the BL casting called Erin here is an update. He left her a facebook message with his number so they could chat! I am sure hoping I was right!
