HOLY SH*TTTTTTTTTTT! Okay, I didn't think I'd be this excited about it but I am! I am officially UNDER 200 pounds now! 198.4 sure looks good! And feels even better!

I am very sorry I haven't been much of a buddy lately, I do want to correct that but I've been very busy and had a lot on my mind. Some of it does have to do with my weight loss but more of it has to do with some personal issues I am going through.

I've also been horrible with recording my food and I need to get back on track and have done pretty well yesterday and today. Thanks Stacie for the check in the booty. I needed to log in and read that today!

The personal issues have really made me think about things and what I truly want out of life. When I first started losing weight this time, it was because I wanted Keith to be attracted to me again. And I still do, but now it's for ME! I can't believe how much better I feel about myself even though I can't really see any weight gone. All I know is my bras are lose (ok body, I didn't want to lose my tatas!), my pants are fitting better, and I have more energy in general! Even if I don't hit 135 anytime in the near future, I am VERY proud that I have accomplished as much as I have. 21 pounds altogether (give or take a few tenths) and I am bursting with excitement. I even find myself willing to take pictures of myself. I realize I am not where I want to be or anything but I just generally feel better about myself.

I said it doesn't matter if I hit 135 or not and that is true, but it doesn't mean I am going to give up either. I will look good in a bikini (haven't worn one since I was 14) and I will feel even better about myself as time goes on.

So many people have been really helpful. First and foremost, I gotta thank Keith for being so very supportive. His two sisters and his mom have also been extremely supportive and for that I am very grateful. I am not sure the four of them even realize how much the things they say mean to me but they mean a lot and have helped me more than they could possibly know. Stacie, thank you for taking the journey with me, kicking me in the ass when I need it, and just all around being supportive and non judgmental. And to my Fatsecret buddies that have supported me regardless of whether I have been here or not, a great big thank you!

Hang in there, if I can do this, ANYONE can!

Much <3 and peace from me to you!

But what ever you do.... keep up the losing weight and eating healthy! Do it for YOU! Not for Keith. For YOU! For all that you are and all that you want to be! That is success! And you're worth it!
