I just need a minute to acknowledge that I've lost 51 lbs so far. FIFTY ONE FREAKING POUNDS. I literally almost cried this morning when I weighed myself. I stepped on the scale once, didn't believe it. Stepped on the scale a 2nd time, it read the exact same number. Stepped on it a THIRD time and had to sit down.

I'M FINALLY BELOW 250 POUNDS!!!! 99 lbs left to go until my goal weight.

And the reward for losing 50 lbs, the first reward I've ever given myself as far as my weight loss is concerned, is a new tattoo. EXCITED!

    Thank you, thank you (:

    Pretty excited, and even more motivated to keep going now. I've been slacking and feeling like I haven't been losing, so I decided to weigh myself this morning (I don't regularly weigh myself) just to see what it said.

    Going to go take my dog on a walk, then start a round of 30 Day Shred. Or maybe hop on the elliptical. Don't know which yet.

    Haha, the tattoo isn't done yet. Still need to find a shop to do it here in Las Vegas, but it will be the words "this too shall pass". I'm mid-divorce and it's been one of the hardest things of my life, second only to when my best friend passed away a few years ago. It was my choice, and I 100% know it's the right thing to do, but it still sucks.

    BUT...this too shall pass. One day (hopefully soon) I'm going to be looking back on this time in my life and feel so much better. It's not the end. (:

    I'm several years post-divorce. Let me just say (and I know, nunmybizness) but - you may want to wait on that particular tattoo. In a few months or so, you m a y want to forget this period in your life.

    I'm jus' sayin that you will feel totally different this time next year and may not want to be taken back to this emotional space for the restofyourlife.

    Or ...I could be wrong.

    It's not just about that, it's about a lot that I've dealt with in my life (I could list it all but it would go on for days). "This too shall pass" has ALWAYS been my way of getting through it. Knowing that, yes, it's awful right now but brighter days are ahead, and I won't be stuck in that crappy situation forever. The divorce is just my current situation.
