So today the scale said exactly 168 lbs! So I have officially lost 100 lbs! (I need to update my siggy).
My story is typical...girl meets boy, girl stops exercising, girl eats out too much...girl goes to college to persue stressful major...girl developes and emotional eating problem...girl gets married...all of a sudden girl is 130 lbs overweight!
But what I hope can be encouraging for many of you is how long it's taken me. I started this journey in Janurary of 2006! Granted there was a pregnancy with a 50 lbs gain in there but I've been just trucking along and even though there's been setbacks along the way (conquering emotional eating and binging) I've never given up. I can't tell you how worth it this all has been. I've had the probably one of the most stressfull years of my life am in the middle of year two...but my dedication to my plan and my exercise have been a great distraction and great way to eliminate stress. I've really learned how to control my emotional eating and this journey has completely changed and saved my life. I hope to be writing my complete goal story soon, but that is in about another 20-40 lbs so I'll just keep this one short and sweet. Thanks for all the support!
