So I'm really pleased to say that I am officaially 1/3 of the way to my goal. :smile: 25lbs of weight gone......NEVER to return! But then something terrible happened. I thought that it was about time I measured and put in those numbers so even if my wt loss slowed, if I was still losing inches then that would be a good thing...right? There was NO WAY I was going to measure myself when I first started MFP but I figured, hey 25lbs down can't be too bad.......well I was wrong! As I wrote down those measurements the most awful feeling came over me. I just couldn't believe what I had done to myself. How could I have let this happen....to me? :cry: What was I thinking? I must have been completely insane to have allowed this,:explode: and that's when I had my SECOND aha moment in my life about my wt. Unlike the Family picture, where after looking at myself I finally said enough is enough because I didn't like the way I LOOKED and so I started on my wt loss journey......this one hit home because I finally realized what I had done to my BODY. My body...the only one I get....the one that's gotta last me to.....well the END. It was a sad realization of what I had done but also a supreme motivator to continue on, no matter how hard, no matter what it takes, to do right by my closest friend. :flowerforyou:

    That is definitely inspiring. I have to admit, I think you may have just given me MY "aha moment".

    I keep wondering why I didn't start sooner say like when I only needed to lose 63 lbs. instead of 165. Oh well.

    Great post! When I think about it you must have felt like I did when I stepped on the scale for the first time years. A sudden heart stopping moment of realization. The unbearable truth! Still though there is enlightenment in it. It's like you are here and you need to go there.

    Congrats on having your eureka moment...it's definitely satisfying and can be life changing when you finally have that honest moment of complete & utter self-realization of yourself and then knowing what you need to do to make it right.
