I weighed in today not expecting to lose. I had a lot of stress this week and did not work very hard at losing weight. Well, I did it, I lost 1.6 pounds! Not a big loss but, that little loss put me at 50 POUNDS LOST! I can't believe it! My head is spinning and I'm not sure how I feel excited, nervous, scared, unsure....I know this all sounds strange....I should be elated!! and inside I am but, I'm feeling so many other emotions too. I'm 44 years old and haven't been at this weight since I was a freshman in high school. So many things are changing....clothes are not fitting.....I'm not sure what to wear....I'm not sure how I truley look. These are all good things and mean that I am losing weight but, at the same time some of them can be frustrating....like when you think you know what you are going to wear to church and then when you put it on it is too big and now you have no idea what to wear. I have always been used to wearing big baggy things to hide all the rolls and now I'm thinking I can wear more fitted things but I'm not sure how I truly look. Do I look good....or do I look like a fat person squeezing into something small ???? I need to get a grip on my self image!!! Yes, I have been overweight all my life and I'm still overweight but now I am 50 pounds lighter and I am feeling better about myself than I have in a long time and I want to feel like I look good!
Thank you to all of you for the encouragement that I have needed so badly.
Hope you all have a great week
