Ok not sure if this is going to work, but here goes. Last july i decided enough was enough when i reached my largest weight of 257lbs! i was shocked and disgusted at myself for letting myself get this far, so I joined this app officially, and after 8 months i have lost 40lbs! i am so proud of myself for getting this far and i know i can continue with my journey, i am 18lbs from being in *Onederland* and i am truly excited about that. Its not been an easy journey there have been tears, tantrums and days where i really didnt want to go on.

This morning i tried on a dress that i bought 18 months ago, it didnt fit me, not even the slightest, i couldnt take it back as it was a sale item but i also couldnt bare to throw it out. I kept it and said to myself one day i will fit into this, and today was that one day, i must have cried for about 5 minutes before really appreciating it. Its a lovely dress and i wanted to get into it before my 25th birthday in april. I have never loved the way i looked in the mirror than i did at that moment.
