Just had to share

OK sorry for the rambling head of time but I feel like crying tears of amazement and joy! I have been in CO for a little over two weeks and it was a tough trip as we were burying my brother who passed away last Oct. My Mom had wanted to wait until the flowers were in the garden in the church where he was buried. Anywho needless to way it was a great trip and it was great to see all of my family and have even one of my own brothers not recognize me. That was a great feeling. With that said there was not a lot of exercising and so forth. I do not consider eating things cheating as I will never think that way again but did not always make the best choices while there either. OK now for the big WOW to come home too. I decided to not weigh while I was there as I wanted to not get discouraged if the scale at Mom and Dads was not where mine is and that is the only one that I have weighed on since surgery. Got home and I has lost some and was thrilled. WELL this morning I hit a MAJOR milestone for me. I have weighed 250 on my drivers license for YEARS! Well this morning I was so tickled to be 249! I just could not believe it! I had tears in my eyes. The only one here is my Dad and bless his heart but he just does not understand how huge that is to me. I was more thrilled with this one than being 100 down. I have lost 107 lbs as of this morning but to have reached 250 for me is bigger than that. I have felt like I was lying all these years but there was not way I was putting my real weight on my license. NO WAY! I just had to share I was so tickled. Thank you so much for reading. Going to go get a tissue now *sniff sniff* Hugs to everyone. Melissa
