    I ran a half marathon a week and a half ago. It was the second I've done in my life, the first being in 2013. I had hoped to do 2 or 3 in 2014 but fell off the training wagon and put on some pounds.

    Getting this first one done so early in 2015 has given me the desire to hammer out a couple more this year and to improve my time in each one. Already looking at dates in April and October.

    This isn't a weight related one because I just started...BUT...my mom (God love her) has always been borderline verbally abusive when it comes to my weight. So I told her my daughter was thinking of stopping dancing because she wanted to concentrate on singing, swimming, and other pursuits. To which my mother replied "Don't let her stop dancing or she's going to get fat, like you are. Remember how pretty you were?"...and off she went on her usual weight related rant.

    Now in the past that would've sent me into tears and in search of the nearest bottle of alcohol or a big huge popcorn size bowl of ice cream.

    Not today. Today I felt more in control. I rolled my eyes, changed the subject, and here I am.

    For the first time in a long time I didn't reach for a bottle, didn't reach for comfort food. I felt like I'm taking steps to deal with the weight (as frustrating as they are from my other posts), but I'm doing something.

    So yeah, not really a physical thing/weight thing...but the idea that I actually felt in control and not destroyed yet again by what she was saying...this was huge for me.

    Hardest lesson (in life, not just fitness/weight loss) for me to learn: You can't control other people's behavior; you can only control the way you react to it. Good for you.

    I bought this dress around the end of March last year. I haven't worn it since June so I wore it yesterday for a work event. I happened to take a picture in the dressing room and text it to my boyfriend when I bought it, so I found that photo on my phone and had to compare. It's weird that the dress is longer now? It wasn't a bad fit then because it is a flattering style but I just feel like it fits so much better now. So yeah, 25 lbs is the scale victory, but being able to compare like this? Such a bigger victory for me.

    I can climb a tree again! We had about 8 inches of snow last week and the trees were so pretty. I decided to see if I could climb up so my husband could a pic of me and I did it! I want to see if I can climb with spikes and a lanyard now!

    Yesterday I hit 100lbs on my squat and 135 on my deadlift!

    Its only been 2 weeks, but I have a noticeable bit more room in my jeans and a pair of grappling shorts that used to fit rather snugly.

    Last night getting ready for bed I looked in the mirror and noticed my face isn't as round as it was when I started - cheek bones and chin are more noticeable! Also - my too small sports bra now goes on easily without sounding like it's going to rip in half! :D

    The first pair of pants I bought when I first started gaining weight (10 years ago) are loose on me. I don't think they fit this well when I bought them. I'm really starting to notice I'm in that last stretch getting to my goal weight. (11 lb to go!)

    I am 100% an emotional eater. Since using MFP I've been able to put a stop to this because taking the time to enter the food in I want to eat and seeing what it would do to my calories is enough to make me really think about what I'm doing.

    Last night though a big wave of anger and sadness hit me out of nowhere. I really wasn't expecting it as I've been feeling better and suffering less depression since starting my weight loss journey. Not having planned anything for dinner I grumpily drove out to a fast food place with every intention of burning through all 1000+ calories I had left for the day and then some.

    I'm proud to say though that by the time I got to the window to order I had (begrudgingly) talked myself out of buying a burger, and loaded fries, and a soda, and an Apple pie. I only got the fries and drank water which was actually more than enough to fill me up completely AND I finished well under my calorie goal!!

    I got to wear an older pair of pants who used to be HUGE on me... 6 months ago I tried them on and wouldn't fit pass my knee... Yesterday tried them on and fit close to perfect!!! (A bit small around the hips but hell I wore them all day!!) I felt SO GOOD !

    Good for you. Also, shame on your mom for being terrible to you. That isn't borderline abusive, that's super [expletive redacted]ty.

    I've got 2.

    1) I don't own a coat because I have my grandfather's shoulders (even at my football weight, I didn't have the shape for women's coats, so I don't buy them). Had to do work outside today so I borrow a roommate's jacket (thinking it was my (male) roommate's. Turns out it wasn't a guy's medium, but a ladies' medium jacket. Didn't fit right at the hips or shoulders, but it zipped! Wow.

    2) My spouse spent a good portion of this morning biting my ribcage in bed, telling me how much he likes the muscle on my back and the shape of my torso. Given all my surgeries (and how far I still have to go) I was very pleased.
