WEIGH-IN TIME!

Well, I was kind of scared that this would be the first week I would have to write "I gained"... but I stepped on that scale, and it said 297! So I am down another pound! Woo Hoo!!!! In fact, I am down 20 LBS total... Even though I have a lot farther to go, that IS a lot of weight! How much does a gallon of milk weigh? 5 pounds? So that means I would have to carry 4 gallons of milk around all day, to be back to where I was!!! That is crazy! I think 20 pounds is a milestone, and every 20 after this will be too :) I should think of some kind of reward for my 20 pound milestones...something that isn't food and doesn't cost anything LOL, any suggestions?

Today I am feeling so exited. Maybe it's because 20 pounds looks like a big number lol. Or maybe it's because I feel like it has been such a short 9 weeks... and it really gives me hope- no- CERTANTY that I am really doing it this time!!!!!!! I have tried SO many times, and I lost 16 pounds once, but that's the best I have ever done in my life!
If I could continue, and loose about 10 pounds per month... I would be down 120 pounds by New Years!!!!!! WOW!!!! This is the first time I have let myself think like that... Being down any where near 100 pounds in one year... I would be soooo happy... Wow, I really do believe I can do it!!!!
I want to thank anyone who has ever read this or left any comment, I really do appreciate it very much! I especially want to thank Jenny and Tessa for following me and being so supportive... It really does keep me going and help me get back up when I fall. Maybe it's a little early in the game to be making Thank You speeches LOL... But I have so much hope today, and I guess it's making me all emotional and... girly LOL. I just feel so.... I don't know... different!
Anyway, before I start crying or writing some crazy deep stuff.... I better just give you my day and say: Life is Wonderful!!!
