Hello girls,
Sorry to have to keep you all waiting
anyway...drum roll please ........
2 years 2 months 2 weeks 5 days since my journey started I finally reached my goal, not only that, I have passed it by 2lbs. Last week before I left for my weekend away I jumped on the scales and they said 10 stone 13lbs...I could see the numbers looking back at me but I just couldn't take it in at first. I seem to have been waiting so long to see that, and when I finally did it was almost like I was dreaming it and it took a few minutes to sink in. When the reality finally hit I was just overcome with emotion and I burst into tears. I felt a bit silly for doing that, but I am really not surprised...All through this journey people have been asking me if I was proud of myself and didn't I feel what I had done was amazing...My reply has always been I didn't want to think about it until I had reached my goal...I thought if I did start thinking about it, that somehow it might make me relax a little and give in to temptation a little more likely . Although I was sure I would reach my goal, I think it may have taken longer so I opted to keep those thoughts to the back of my mind. I had to wait until today for it to really be official and today I was even more pleased when the scales said yet another 1lb gone
The moment I saw those magical numbers on the scales I really did think about what I have achieved...I now weigh 10 stone 12lbs and I have lost a total of 202lbs...my god 14 stone 6lbs can you believe that
...I have lost more weight than I actually now weigh...I have lost an entire me and a bit more...I do think that is an amazing achievement and I am so proud of myself for finally finding the will and determination to see it through to the end.
I would just like to thank everyone from the this 3fc messageboard and all my email friends for being there with me throughout this journey...your encouragement and support has been invaluable to me...without you all I am sure I would not be here in this position today...From the bottom of my heart I thank you all so very much....
and I would hope you all know that if I can be of any help to any of you, my email address is always open. THANK YOU ALL
Ali
