I started a little competition with a few gals from work two weeks ago. Granted, none of them have as much weight to lose as I do, but I figured it would be a great way to jump start my weight loss. We weigh in every Wednesday, and today I was down 5 pounds!!! Combined with my weight loss of 3.2 pounds last week I am at 8.2 pounds total.... Yaaaaaay!!
It feels like I have finally found the strength to do this... I have received incredible feedback and support, and this blog, or journal if you will, has truly felt like a weight loss in its own right.
It has allowed me to channel my thoughts, get things out that I have been holding deep inside, and be honest with myself (and others!)
I have to say, it felt fantastic to see progress on the scale, and I also feel like there is progress on my emotional scale as well... Just praying this strength continues!
That's great progress! Way to go!!! And I'm so glad blogging is helping- sometimes it is just so beneficial to put things in words!
