Crazy how this entire journey has been a nonstop series of ups and downs. As I have often said. This week was definitely an up. I went to my weigh in and had a surprise I did not expect, a huge weight loss. I lost 7 lbs this week. I don't trust that this loss is going to stick because its too much for one week but it still felt good to go and see that. My leader made me an example at the meeting and made me tell my total weight loss so far.
I'm feeling positive about what's happening right now, I'm looking good and people can see it in my face that I am feeling differently about myself and my self image. I still have all my issues those will take time to resolve, if ever they are resolved, but it is wonderful to at least have some of my perspective change and shift. I've decided that I want to again try my hand at maybe cooking. I've been buying a lot of prepared food because its easier to calculate my points but I would like to eat a few less processes foods. Here's to new outlooks and beginnings! And for a continued happy shiny feeling:)

Still here!
So its been a while. Summer has pretty much gone and fall has come in with rain (some tornado type stuff) but otherwise nice weather. I am still here, still going up and down within the same weight range but still feeling positive about where I am.
School has started up again and many of the staff and students have noticed my weight loss, its been nice, I always remember to smile and say thank you when someone comments. Its my way of beginning to learn how to take a compliment. Yet another way in which I am growing into the person I want to be;)
But, not all has been sunny in my parade. Although I am trying to stay positive I have been feeling disconnected. Work just began again and I'm having a hard time getting back into the groove of things. On a positive note I started working out again this week. I'm kicking butt and taking names but in a nice way, lol! I feel stronger already. Went back to my meeting this week after two weeks of not going. Happy to report only 1 lbs of weight gain, although that happiness comes now after I am days removed from that weigh-in. On Sunday I was ready to burst into tears. I cannot lose hope and I know I can do this. I have the tools that I need, I just need to use them! I'm still here and that's pretty good right?
