I'm On Fire!
Not literally. But you know what I mean!
I am doing exceptionally well with my diet and exercise plan lately. I haven't weighed in a week and a half, but I know I am losing based on my clothing (now down a full size and half!) and the way I feel about my body. Everything is changing--my physical body, my self-esteem and confidence, my sex drive, all these things I thought were dead and gone. I can't imagine what it must feel like to lose 50 lbs. or more, but sign me up! I am ready to deal with the baggage and emotional issues I have built up living at this weight! I feel ready to really accomplish my goals. I am versed enough in the weight loss process to understand that these phases come and go, but I am riding the wave of excitement and motivation and I wanted to share it with you lovely folks out there!
Also, I have decided to attempt another personal goal, even if it will be some time before I reach it. Fourteen years ago, I attempted to climb Half Dome in Yosemite. After a two-day hike and brutal temperatures, I laid down on the ground just beside the ropes to climb the very last part and gave up. I did not finish the climb and I have regretted it ever since. My body kept me from accomplishing that goal, and I want to try it again. I can't imagine how good it would feel to stand on top of that peak and say goodbye to the years of suffering and shame of living as a fat woman.
On that note, let's all take a moment and celebrate our achievements for the day!
