So Near and Yet So....

I refuse to say far! I am 301 lbs. today. One stinkin' pound away from what I've been DREAMING about, hoping for for the last 18 years! Better yet, I am really starting to feel better physically. It's very odd how I will wake up feeling very low on energy and not feeling very well one day, and the next I wake up feeling totally rested and with boundless energy (like today, thank goodness)! Hey, the sun is finally out in Connecticut, where we were hit with a dismally long, cold, wet, gray winter. It's gorgeous outside and damn, I feel good! Hope everyone has a great day. Thanks! Maureen

Maureen: Just think, it'll seem like NO time and you'll be thinking the same way about being at 201.

Now that's a terrific thought, Lyn. Thanks! Maureen

You're getting there Maureen! It will happen for you really soon - it's gonna be wonderful! I'm sure I'll hear the screams all the way over here on the west coast!!! Dina

Reenie, I am finally beginning to feel like a regular person finally. It took a month of those good days and bad days to all get better. You will get there with the weight too. We all will. It just takes a little longer than we want it too. We are all seeing results but we want quick results.

I'm having the same fluctuations in my energy -- though I can't say my "good" days can be described as boundless energy yet. It's probably the chemistry of it all. Go do something nice for yourself (a non-food thing, that goes without saying) and see if you can avoid the scale for a few days. And then......woooohoooo, it will be where you want it to be. Gano
