That's so fabulous!!! I'm so happy that your weight loss has made such a huge change in your life. AND, I'm so proud of you having lost 120 lbs!!! That's an enormous accomplishment and you, and your improved quality of life, is a huge motivator for someone like me. I've just started needing to lose 100 pounds.
I am grateful for the three pounds I've lost already and I'm also, really, pretty embarassed that I'm 100 (97 now) pounds overweight when so much of the world is starving. Perhaps it just hit me because of the world-wide food shortages coming at the same time as my 'a-ha' moment about my out of control weight, but (and I'm sure this won't work for everyone) it really helps me to eat more grains and vegetables and less meat and dairy when I think about how LUCKY I was to be born in an exceedingly rich country, instead of, say, Ethiopia. In my view, it was all the luck of the draw, there in the beginning, and I'm feeling like I need to be more responsible with the world's limited resources. Instead of eating them all at one sitting. :-)
That might sound kind of guilt-inducing, but really, it makes me feel more responsible, and as if I'm more involved in the WHOLE WORLD. Goofy, but there you have it. And I'm grateful that I have the 'option' of going on a diet and 'choosing' to eat healthy. I'm exceedingly grateful for that.
