I'm 25 pounds away from losing 100 pounds

And for some odd reason I have been sabotaging myself! I think I am afraid of actually losing 100 pounds. Mostly because I want it to be this really big deal and I know it won't. I am thinking about having a party. I should be able to show off right? My reward so far is that I am going to buy an elliptical!

    I sabotage myself in ways like this too. But you want it right? Get it! (Telling myself the same thing).

    That's a real milestone!! I'm 25 lbs away from 100 lbs as well. (But it's been a long process, so I don't feel that celebratory.) You should celebrate your victory!! I love that you're getting an elliptical! You will enjoy it! I love mine.

    That's true! I have to be like if you want it you just have to go get it. No one is going to do it for you! (We wish lol)

    I have been doing this for 13 months but seeing the number 175 will be a first. I think the very first time I was weighed and paid attention I was already 190 pounds and that was in 6th grade. By high school I would be 220 and in college I would start at 230 and finally be at the weight that made me change 275 my final semester. I think that's why I feel like it is a huge victory!
