The Journey of a Lifetime

I will wi tomorrow at MRC for the last week of stabilization. I have added back in all the foods and have still maintained my goal weight…150 I did gain a little back while we were in Charleston. It was hard not to eat the good food. I have lost it all though. I think it was mostly water weight anyway. It’s gone and I am so glad.

I am a little worried about keeping the weight off but I really think I have learned a lot about healthy eating and making good choices. I will not gain back the 55 pounds I lost. I know I am going to have to work hard though. I will continue to go to the gym at least 3 times a week and make good food choices. There are several reasons I will keep the weight off:

1. I feel wonderful. I have so much more energy.  2. I love shopping for cute clothes. It has been wonderful trying on 8’s and 10’s and they fit. I tried on a 12 in a store in Charleston and it was too big…..amazing.  3. I have really gained the respect of people. I have gotten so many nice compliments about my success. I sure don’t want to lose that respect.   4. I don’t mind pictures with my friends anymore. I am not the biggest one in the picture anymore…whoo hoo.   I am sure there are many more reasons and I will add them as I think of them.
