Okay, so 3 1/2lbs doesn't look like much but really, I was stuck at 173-174lbs for awhile and it was driving me bananas. I was so happy to break out of that a few days ago, and my goodness am I happy to see the 160s! Barely, but I'm there. I have never seen 160 anything and I am beyond excited. I was also measured the other day and I'm a tiny bit taller than I thought, so my real cut off weight for a normal BMI is 163, not 159. That means I'm only 6.5lbs away from a normal BMI! How cool is that? It was my goal to make it to a normal BMI by my birthday and the closer we got to it with 173 still on the scale the more discouraged I got but I just may make it now. Then I can work on losing the last 20lbs. So happy!
Nothing to really do with weight loss specifically, but worth noting. I met a really cute guy this past week and for once, I didn't feel like he was looking right past me. I've never had great self esteem, but my ex-husband shot what I did have all to hell a few years ago. Losing weight has helped it immensely; not that I think I'm necessarily any better thinner, but it makes me feel better about myself, so it helps my confidence, and I think my self esteem may just recover after all.
