Nearly 100 lbs lost (& 100 more to go!) - My story
I am on the brink of having lost 100 pounds. My story is not unlike many other girls growing up. I comforted myself with food (mostly sugar) since I was a child.

Celebrating 100 lbs lost in 10 months! SO HAPPY!

My inner dialogue...
My body is not perfect. My body will never be perfect and I accept that. I realize that the weight I am at now is heavier than the average woman even after a 75lb weight loss. I can choose to be proud of that accomplishment or be ashamed of ever allowing the weight to consume my life and health in the first place. It is an…
