    This is so great to see. I've thought those very same things but didn't have the confidence to trust my instincts.

    You look great! Congrats!

    4. Dream about how happy I'd be when I reached my goal weight.

    It's weird but you have to learn how to be happy. Just being at your goal weight doesn't automatically make you feel happy - at least not for long. The compliments stop, the thrill of losing weight stops, the ordinary trials and tribulations of life continue and sooner or later something goes wrong in your life. If you haven't learned how to be happy through all those, then you won't be. This time, I focused on being happy at whatever weight I was because I focused on enjoying my food, enjoying my exercise and enjoying how I looked and felt each and every day. Now I have the habit of being happy and I know how to get through the lows of life.

    This is so true. If you can't be happy with yourself (by this I mean YOU, not YOUR BODY) at 500 pounds, being 125 won't make things better.

    Congrats!
