This is my blog I wrote on Monday....I decided to put it on here to share...maybe this will help someone I don't know but decided to share....
So today was the day....the day I finally made over the 100 lb mark. I was never really sure how I would react...would I cry, would I be super excited or what. I didn't cry and I was excited but I guess some part of me felt like it would be more monumentous (I probably didn't spell that right) and then I came on here and logged it and wow! These people, who before 2/13/2011 were complete strangers to me brought tears to my eyes. They were so excited and happy and proud that it suddenly made it all more real and more exciting.
I have an awesome support system in real life and wonderful friends and family that support me 100% and it helps but being here with you guys and people that know what this struggle really feels like is such a huge relief! It makes it easier that I can come on here and ***** about how much I want to drink a 2 liter of dr pepper in one sitting and you guys get it. So when I tell you guys that I love you and seriously could not have done it without you I really do mean that! Even if all you do is make me laugh on here...you keep me motivated to come back (and I seriously do come back because of you people I think I am actually addicted!)
So no I don't have pics and go on and throw stones I know but man I hate taking pictures! But here are somethings that are different...
Before I started MFP I would drink a minimum of 10 cans of soda a day and usually no water...now I drink almost no soda and if I do it is usually diet and I drink minimum of 15 glasses of water a day...
Before I took the elevator everyday and there are only two floors in my building and taking the stairs would leave me breathless for a while..now I jog (depending on the shoes I am wearing) up the stairs everyday...no elevator for me!!
Before MFP I was grumpy and most people didn't like me very much...I think it was mainly because I was so unhappy all the time...I was probably suffering from depression but not anymore...I have repaired a lot of relationships and I go out more and in general I enjoy life (my boss even made the comment today that I was a happier person).
Before MFP I hated to get out of the bed in the mornings, it was hard for me to wake up and man I was tired all the time! Now I can get up (well unless I am up late on here!) and I look forward to what the day may bring (in general...don't think I am pollyanna or anything).
Before MFP I was content to blend in as much as possible...I didn't want people to notice me and if they did then I assumed they were looking cause they were thinking ugly things about me...now if someone is looking at me I don't assume they are thinking ugly things and I strut my stuff and don't think twice about it.
So yeah I could go on and on but I think you guys get the idea....MFP has changed my life....in 7 months I have become the person that I always thought I could be but never had the courage to be...so 100 down and 160 to go....when I get to my goal who knows what I will be able to do! Life is so full of possibilities and I feel like mine are just coming to light!
Thanks for reading my ramblings and I really do love all of my friends and thank you for sharing this journey with me! Now on to the next 100!

I agree with the post about not crying - get naked and run around and hoot and hollar - that is a huge accomplishment....myself I did a little dance in the bathroom with some whoo hoos when I hit the 40 lb mark...for a 100 you get whatever you want 0
