First-and foremost, congratulations.
Now-do you realize you've posted at least three times that you are still 'big or not at goal....." and I'm sorry, but I think that is diminishing THIS moment now. Don't lose the joy of now and what you've accomplished by comparing it to what you "should" accomplish.
I don't know how many sizes you've lost, but "even" if it's just one, congratulations! Now, let's ALL work on enjoying each victory to the fullest-it might actually lead us to have MORE victories.
(And I'm lecturing you with love same as I lectured myself earlier this day-and was a lot nicer...to myself I said "why can't you just let yourself "effing" be happy for yourself once in awhile....."....LOL.
I am working on my brain though! In fact, I think the brain is half the problem!!!
I have felt negative because I have been stalled so long! Even if I don't lose another pound...as long I don't gain it back...I will be OVERJOYED!!!!
You are SO right that if we learn to FULLY CELEBRATE each victory it may lead to more victories!
Thanks for the tough love. I can be so kind to others and SO HARD ON MYSELF. I bet most of us can say the same thing.
I was in a 28/30 when I started this whole process! Pretty freakin awesome, huh!!!! I am going to be effing happy for myself today too!!!!!!!!!
ONEDERLAND!!!! FINALLY!!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!
