Almost There!

I realize I haven’t blogged here for a LONG time, but my weight-loss progress has been quite slow for a long time.  I also started a personal blog that has consumed my blogging time because my girlies started Kindergarten this year and I’m trying to keep all of our family and friends updated on what’s going on with all of us.  Anyway…

 Big news for me today - I have lost 65 pounds!  :)  Yea!  It feels good, to say the least.  I’ve only got about 3 pounds left until I hit my actual goal weight, and that doesn’t even seem possible.  Maybe I’ll go for five just so I can hit that 70 pound mark.  I’ll just wait and see.  For now I’m just going to be proud of myself.  It’s been a journey that has taught me so much and one that I will never change.  I am a different person now.  I know how to eat for energy and health instead of to relieve anxiety, fear, boredom, etc.  I’ve changed in a lot of ways, but I’m also the same in a lot of ways.  I’m still the worthwhile person I was before, I’m just not covered up in quite so much fluff.  Life is good!
