Picture worth 1000 words...

YES!! That is ME on the scale today. I finally reached a huge goal I set for myself. That was to have lost 52 lbs before returning to the MD for 3mo f/u. I DID IT!! I am so PROUD of MYSELF!! I am determined to make the BEST out of this opportunity I have been given for a NEW lease on life!! No one can crush me today!

I will walk in the dr office with my head HIGH and proudly get on that scale!!!

My next small goal is to reach 199 lbs by the end of August!! I think its time to celebrate ME and my accomplishment very soon! Not to mention that my BIRTHDAY is a few days away! #Virgo!!!

Moral of the story is...DON'T GIVE UP!! Even when it looks like you won't meet that goal, push through it. The end result will be well worth it!

I got some nice feedback today, in general conversation with a certain lady! She told me I inspired her to embark on her weight loss journey! That made me feel kinda cool! That me, a bonafide FAT girl, could inspire someone else to healthier living.  She has done a marvelous job since her journey began.  What she didn't know, is that she, too, inspires me to keep going, to increase my workout, and she gives me alot of encouragement.  That's a pretty cool trade, I'd say.

I see the same things she sees with my transformation. Her work clothes are getting bigger, her outlook on life is a bit brighter, and she is somewhat happier it seems.  Who could complain about results like that. She's a young lady that has alot of years left in her life to live.  I wish her well and hopes she takes advantage of every opportunity that comes her way and enjoy every minute of it! ROCK ON GIRLIE!!

There is also my "favorite" co-worker, that is on a weight loss journey and I hear she has lost a good deal of weight in 1 month's time. Congrats to you too doll! I see your clothes getting a lil looser too! We will be the baggie pants society after while...lol!

At any rate, I am proud of these ladies for changing their lifestyles for better living! They say I'm helping them, but they are helping me too! It makes my restrictions a bit easier to live with while I'm working.

So I say KUDOS to all of the GORGEOUS women I work with at "misfit island"

This is what the world sees for now.....

this is what WE see in the mirror!!
