I DID IT!! I did it! Hooray!

I reached my goal weight of 175!!!! As of this morning I weight 172! When I first signed up for this sight 175 seemed sooo out of reach considering I had two daughters back to back and was 250 lbs the day before I gave birth to my 2nd daughter on December 14th 2008. I don't come on here much b/c I am very busy with work and my girls (mylee and Keira). But when I signed up I really slacked off a lot for the first few months. I didn't really start dieting and exercising until November of last year. There was a crisis in my family which caused me to lose a lot of weight very very fast (I lost 30 lbs iin a month and a half). Not the right way to do things, but I felt hopeless at that point in my life and the mere THOUGH of food made me stomach turn. Today I am so filled with hope and inspiration and know that as long as I keep doing what i'm doing, I will get to where I want to be. I hate the label 'fat'. Now when I look in the mirror I don't feel I can be labeled as such anymore. I was always a 'thick' girl. I always had a big butt and big thighs, but i'm okay with it today! I actually LIKE my big butt and big thighs and hips now! I finally feel attractive, something I haven't felt in over 3 years! Oh and now I actually weigh LESS than what I weighed at my first prenatal appointment with my first daughter, which was 187. My size 10 jeans fit me again, and I am on my LAST belt buckle. It feels great. For all the people just starting out, or struggling, keep going, there is hope! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!
