118.6 pounds down. Still going strong :)

I have been battling my weight for most of my life, and laziness was the main reason behind all of my failures before. When I went home three years ago, after freshman year of college, I was the heaviest I have ever been: 265 pounds. I still remember the tears falling off of my faces when I stepped on the scale for the 10th time and kept seeing the same number. I haven't been on a scale since the beginning of freshman year.

My best friend at the time "encouraged" me to lose weight by telling me how disgusting I looked, and it would be impossible for me to lose weight. However, she was the one who first started to help me with dieting and exercising, and I thank her for putting me on the right track. I told myself this is the last chance I have. I didn't want to feel that sense of defeat I used to always feel when I gained the weight back.

Long story short, we are no longer friends, but I did gain many supportive friends who love me for who I am, and I love all of them to the moon and back. Today, I logged in my weight and realized I've lost almost 120 pounds. I have no desire to go back to my old ways, and I know I won't. I'm graduating in 2 weeks(YAY!), and this is the best graduation gift ever.
