Half way to GOAL?!? mind blower...

I just updated my ticker and realized I am at my half way point!!!!! Here I was feeling annoyed because my weight loss has slowed down and then I see that.  Suddenly I'm feeling so much better.  Funny what a different perspective can do.  When I started this journey my serect wish was to be half way by June.  It's only March! So, with my newly adjusted attitude I will smile through my day and know I am doing just fine.  *Remember that lil' engine, right? I think I can, I know I can* (sorry, that's the First Grade Teacher in me coming out!) My freak out and self doubt stems from the fact I go back to the Surgeon's office for my 3 month visit in a few weeks and at my one month she (The PA) said she wanted 30 more off by 3 months. I don't think I'll make that goal. (unless I hack off a leg!)  That's why I hate weight loss goals...the whole failed them too many times to count thing.  I'll just remember I'm OVER halfway to goal and be content?  (right? see...self doubt) Happy Friday Friends!  hugs, Lisa

Hi Lisa.. you are doing an awesome Job.. and you are right it is so tough to keep a possative attitude on this whole thing specailly when we are all so used to weight loss failure.. I would not let a few pounds bother you honestly.. you are diong good.. you have met half your goal..  That is enough to celebrate in itself... Don't be discouraged.. you keep chugging along like that engine ok.. I know you can!!!  (((HUGS))) Have a great weekend!!
