I'm really in disbelief that I've lost 4 pounds total in 3 days. I'm only 2 pounds away from losing 45 pounds! I excited. I'm so on track for my goal to lose 50 pounds by August 14th-my cousins wedding, but it looks like I'll exceed that....don't hear me complaining. :)
Ok, well I'm going to get pretty honest for a moment...not that I haven't been during this whole process-but this is just going to get a little more personal. Yes, I think I might of just scared my mother-she has no idea what I'm about to talk about. :) Love you Mom....
Since losing 43 pounds my body has been shrinking...that's great, that's exciting! But there is a down side to this...one that I feel can be pretty disheartening and really mess with someones mind. But because of all the weight that is going away, the skin doesn't go with it. So when I see myself in the mirror, I still see the overweight me. I really want to get rid of all that-and I will when I'm done losing 146 pounds. But right now, it's a struggle to see myself for what's going on right now. I see my arms, which has been a source of insecurity for me for years, and they just hang...it's not attractive and it's actually something I just want to keep covered till I can get it the "extra" removed. I keep telling myself that it's not how it use to be, I don't look anything like I had 11 weeks ago and that this is only going to get better.
Each day is a stepping stone in the right direction, I won't let the fact that my arms wave back to me when I wave stop me from being healthier, happier and enjoy this life because I know that one day...sooner then later, they won't have anything to wave back with. :)
Weight loss: -1 pound
