Okay, so I've done the impossible, I've broken through that barrier I came up against so many times in the past: 300.
As of this morning, I weighed 294.8. This is significant for a couple of reasons.
1) I don't weigh 300 lbs anymore. I can actually say "I don't weigh 300 lbs" with a straight face.
2) It's my lowest weight in at least 5 years. Probably closer to 10.
3) I have officially lost 100 lbs since my highest known weight. I know that I weighed more than 395 at one point, but without a scale that could weigh me, there was no way to prove it.
4) This number is proof that I can beat emotional eating. I've become more aware of it, especially when I was hovering right around 300, of all the things my "body" (i.e., my head) craved, and I could abstain.
5) It puts me over the 40 lb mark for this year.
This place is so incredibly wonderful. I've found inspiration when I couldn't create any for myself, and I'm so very, very grateful for that.
Thank you, even if I don't know you, thank you for being here.
You must feel so good!!!
Amazing job!
