TRANSFORMATION!!

Going on this journey- I was aware and looking forward to changes....stretch marks, confidence and complete dedication to myself and this journey....has it been easy- NO! not at all.... Life happens....I'm not perfect and I don't intend to look perfect either- but I am determined to progress everyday!!!
I am officially down 46.7 and it was not an easy thing to do. I learned that it does not happen overnight. I learned that I am capable of and worthy. Even if something feels impossible.
I also learned that people all of a sudden go oh wow you've lost weight that's great and no big deal ....NO! It is a big deal- To ME it is!
It was months of saying "NO" or abstinence from eating what you sometimes enjoyed.
It was months of making my behind workout even when I did not feel like it.
It was sometimes silently mourning certain things you miss while others enjoy it in front of you- all because I wanted to still socialize.
Months of looking in the mirror and telling that negative voice to SHUT UP- this is working!
Months of imagining how I would look when I reached the goal I set for myself.
I learned it is not just loosing weight or reaching a goal- It's learning to love myself and a compounded level, enough to feel extremely proud and gain confidence. Enough to say Yes I've lost weight- thank you- and not for attention but all because I love myself.
Because I love myself- This morning one of my impossibles' happened. What seemed unattainable back on Labor Day weekend came true- ONEDERLAND!!
Next goal- 10% of current weight.
