105 Down - 20 to go. 2 Year Process

Hey guys! Over the past two years I've been steadily losing weight - although the closer I get to my goal weight, the harder it is to lose anything.. but some people have suggested that posting this one here could help others in the good fight. I am not one to put myself in the spotlight.. But I just wanted to let people know that it IS possible. My biggest advice would be to take it day to day. Don't think about how long it will take to get to where you want to be. Think about how much closer you are today than you were yesterday. Eat clean TODAY. Exercise TODAY. Sometimes I take it hour by hour when the cravings hit. And you know what? I give in. I give in to cravings. I give in to not exercising. Sometimes for one day. Sometimes it's 3 days. And I try not to feel guilty about it. As long as I get right back into the swing of things.
That's another thing that has helped me out. Routine. Sundays are for grocery shopping and cooking for the week. When I don't have any doubt where my meals are coming from or what they are going to be, it's much easier to not be tempted by outside food.
All of this to say - yes it's been difficult at times. But other times it's so easy. I look at the pictures from 2 years ago and I still can't believe I did it. It's like a dream.
You guys can do it. It is 100% possible. I didn't think it was possible when I first started.

Wow!! Great job!!! I am starting at 289.around the same weight you started with. I feel I am sooooooo far from my goals, till I want to.give up and throw in the towel. After reading your story it encouraged me that it IS possible to reach my weightloss goals no matter how much weight I have to lose. Thanks so much for the encouragement and many blessings on your journey.2
