What I've been thinking about!

[lastraw]

I've lost 80 lbs...and it has, literally, been a journey...right now I've just hit 3rd base and am running to home plate....

I have 40 lbs. to go until I've reached my initial goal of 150 lbs...I'm always thinking about it...I figure, based on my numbers from the past 23 weeks...I should be able to lose the remaining pounds... in 3 months. Now... will it actually happen that way? ...I hope so.

I have had complete control from day one with this diet. I have not cheated one time....as in eating above my 1200 cal. limit....These last 4 months are gonna DRAG on and on! I just know it...and I'm kind of bummed out about it...I just want to be skinny again...you know...the way I looked when I was a sophomore in high school...I was din-o-mite! I started letting my weight get out of control after that year...I havn't seen 150 lbs. since then...According to the healthy weight chart...A girl my height at 5'10 (on the high end of that) should weigh between 130 lbs. and 160 lbs or give five pounds...maybe it was 135-165...Either way...I still have to lose 40 lbs! I can do this.

Yeah. I just gotta... take it one day at a time...I think I can handle that...God, this is hard! but I'm tired of this fat weighing me down and making me feel like an anchor at the bottom of a lake.

I want to post my before and after pictures on CafeMom...somewhere. Maybe just on my homepage...You will surely be amazed!

Right now, I'm just trying to find anything to pass the time. I can't wait until the holidays are over for a while...the temptations nearly got me this Thanksgiving! It was sooo bad that even though I remained in my calorie limits...I still feel like a failure...I did NOT show my strong side that night...I need to stop acting like a baby....but it's sooooooooooo haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard! (Patti whimpering)

I hate myself for getting so fat...cuz being on a diet is really messing with my life!

3 months....I gotta find the strength somewhere...I need to find more motivation somewhere....

Go You! You can do it! Have faith in yourself! You've come this far! How's my cheer-leading? Is it helping any?

You just had a small Holiday relapse, get right back on your motivational kick and you'll do fine :)

You are now only 8 lbs to go...HOW did YOU do it?  What was your diet?  What was your weekly schedule?
