This post is amazing.
I had trouble putting my weight loss into perspective until I remembered the 50 lb bags of epsom salts we used to have at my old job. Occasionally I would have to pick up one of these bags to refill a bigger container and they were always so big and unwieldy. When I lost 50 lbs, I imagined not having to carry those salts around with me all day, everyday. Now it looks like I've lost the bag of salts plus an average 2-year-old.
Looking at it that way makes my accomplishment seem so much bigger.
Thanks!
