50 lbs down...first goal reached

I promised myself last March on my 49th birthday that I would be 50 lbs lighter in 2016 when I turned 50.

This week I made that goal. I still have more to loose to get to a regular BMI but today it feels so good!

I should have done this years ago...but on the other hand, I wouldn't have been in the head space that I am right now.

I feel lighter in my step, looser in my joints, not haunted by the voice of hunger.

It is unexplainable the joy that I feel...like shooting stars inside of me!

On top of that I've started dating again. My 4th date today with someone.

For the first time EVER I felt attractive walking beside a man...feeling myself with him in a space that I have never inhabited.

I ended my afternoon with a little gift to myself - a small pendant on a chain - a reminder to continue to take care of myself.

Congratulations. I know that feeling of lightness. It is great. Good luck with the remaining weight you want to lose

Thanks Pat!

TK,

Congratulations, my dear -- might be hard to believe, but it even gets better than this.

Thanks! It's certainly exciting to think about :)
