One-derland

Options
Okay, so I hit onederland... I currently weigh 199.6... Why am I not ecstatic about it? Maybe because I've barely made it? Maybe because I am thinking too far ahead and staring at those 70+ pounds that I still need to lose? I thought I'd feel different, maybe more motivated, but I don't... I know I should be proud of where I am and how I got here but I just don't feel it... Anyways, I was just feeling weird and decided that I needed to vent... Thanks for reading!

    It's AMAZING what you have done! It's hard and takes all that determination, willpower, consistancy! You are a winner!!

    I have got down to skinny before and realized I felt the same. Exactly the same! I didn't become some other person, or feel different. Yes more energy, and more positive reactions from people, but still the same person inside the same body, wearing smaller clothes.

    So, now you have to begin to work on yourself and see where you want to go inside your head! Weight on, weight off, you are the same person. It's up to you what you do with it!

    I think you should celebrate it. You deserve it. I noticed on your page that you started at 228 but your ticker only says 5lbs. I'm thinking it was 5lbs since you started MFP. You need to look at the big picture. 28+lb is a lot. go find something that weighs 28 lbs and see what you really have accomplished.

    Best wishes to you.

    Sweetie be nice to yourself. You have made the most important step. and that is making the decision to take off the excess weight. One meal at a time. You can do it.

    Thank you all so much! I am proud of it but I honestly think I am thinking about the long road that still lies ahead, I'm a bit impatient... Thank you for the encouragement though! It really does help to read it! You are all awesome! :happy:
