Confused about success...

September 24, 2009

159.6 lbs.

I can't believe that I weigh only 159 lbs...I haven't been in the 150's in a very long time. I am happy, but also confused.

I get so much attention that you would have sworn that I lost these 50 lbs overnight. I can't go anywhere and it doesn't help that I work in a high visibility possition.

I look in the mirror and I do see that I look much better, but I don't see the "skinny" person that everyone is raving about...I don't know if it's a mental thing or not.

I haven't been this close to my goal since I got married over 11 years ago.

I am very happy about my success, but I am having to adjust to the amount and kind of attention that I am receiving.

I can't believe that I am at the end of the journey to reach my goal weight of 153 lbs., but I know that the hardest journey will be addressing the issues that caused me to yo-yo diet for half my life, maintaining my goal weight, and adjusting to the new healthier me.

Glad to hear you are nearing goal! That is very impressive. Time is on your side and I am sure you will adjust to the new and improved you in no time! Way to Go!

Thanks for being so honest.........90% of this weight loss thing is mental, so is dealing with the attention. You need to convince yourself that you are a worthy person, fat or thin. I am so happy for you that you have met your goal! I wish you continued success.

I truly and happy for you....embrace yourself!
