My Red Letter Day
I have been having an almighty battle with the last few lbs of weight. While I have been in my healthy BMI range for over a year, I was determined to get to exactly 'half' my original weight.
Today was the day. Knowing my weight patterns it'll probably bounce back up again tomorrow! But it is a good buzz to know that I finally got there. Especially with my LBL around the corner. I want a bit of a weight buffer so I don't gain too much with all that post op sitting about recovering.
Yeah me! 
I am one determined lady, and this is like finally winning the battle. The whole time I lost weight I would make myself shortterm goals, then meet them and make new ones. But the main goal was to be in the healthy BMI range, and the 'dream' goal was to be 1/2 what I was.
I did find these goals motivated me.

Oh Em!!
Your such an inspiration. That has to be one of the most remarkable feelings. You deserve a round of applause. That just amazes me. You are so determined and motivated at all times. If I wasn't around your age I would say I want to be you when I grow up! hehe
Are you going to treat yourself to anything? Your sitting here talking about short term goals, look what you just accomplished!!
Good for you!!
Thankyou for saying I am an inpiration. I don't feel like an inspiration.
Sometimes the mind still thinks I am size 22.
Am I going to treat myself to anything?... hmmm Does a LBL count? Hee hee
You have made a great start, you keep at it and bit by bit before you know it you'll get to your goal too!

Sometimes I wonder why I come to this forum. I think it helps me stay focussed, it reminds me that I am no different to everybody here. The only difference is that I have reached the goal. But it doesn't end there, I have to keep going with a healthy life forever.

PS- So far I have had a great weekend! I catered for all he relatives for my son's 16th birthday party.

It most certainly has been a long trip- physically and mentally.
It is attainable- but I can't lie and say it's easy.
Thanks!
