Aha Moment!

Hi all! I was carrying my 2-1/2 yo up the stairs last night and thinking man she's getting heavy to carry like this! That's when it hit me that she weighs about 23lbs and I've lost about the same so I used to be lugging that around with me on a daily basis! 23lbs doesn't really seem like all that much to me but wow when you think about it that way it makes a huge difference!

My Aha moment happened listening to the song TAKE ON ME. (#RimShot)

Great analogy. I look at each 1/2 lb weight loss as 2 sticks of butter. 1/2 lb might not seem like a huge loss when I look at those 2 sticks of butter, it brings it into perspective.

Here's another one for you - go pick up a gallon of milk or water. That's just under eight and a half pounds right there. For you, you're looking at no longer carrying almost three of those!

That's a great way to look at it. Congratulations!

I've already told my husband that once I reach my target weight, I want to take a picture of myself with 16 gallon-jugs of water, because that's just about how much weight I'll have lost. Then when people ask, "How much did you lose?", I can show them that to put it in perspective.
