I just read your story, and congrats on such an awesome accomplishment! I've been on my slow weight loss journey for a few years now, and this is the year that I have decided to lose the last 30 pounds. I am optimistic, but somewhat impatient, and I'm learning to love the 1 pound that comes off the scale at the end of the week instead of freaking out that it's not at least 2 pounds. Your story is very inspirational! Congrats again!
