10%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sure took me long enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I FINALLY hit my 10% goal at Weight Watchers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means 18.2 pounds GONE! Yes, when I started last April, I will now admit, I weighed a whopping 188.4 pounds. On a 5′3″ body. Yikes. And, while 170 is nothing to be thrilled about in the LONG term, is sure is great for now!!!!!
It was ironic, but at our meeting today, we talked about negative and positive thinking, and I realized that, when it comes to my weight loss, I am finally, 100% in the positive thinking category. While every day is a struggle, I have never said that I failed anything. I may be frustrated from week to week, but I have NEVER failed. How can I say that I failed when I’ve lost 18 pounds!?!? And, while it may not be coming off as quickly as I would prefer, IT IS STILL COMING OFF. It was great to sit there and realize that I had a positive turnaround for every negative comment thrown out. Yes, I still have a long way to go. No, I have not made my final goal yet. I would LOVE to hit 135 again (my wedding day, pre-kid weight), but I know it may not be possible. So I just keep losing pound by pound, and when I feel like I reached my goal, I’ll declare it. In the meantime, I try to take one little goal at a time…my next goal? Lose 0.4 pounds so I can be in the 160s again. Man, that 6 is gonna look SOOOOOOO sweet.
I do have pre-weight-loss pics that I can share, but I want to put on the same clothes and take pictures of me in them for a REAL comparison. Until then, happy goal-keeping!!!!!!!!!!!!
