Best Christmas gift EVER

Today I weighed 207 pounds. Not only am I 8 pounds away from ONEDERLAND, but I've lost 104 pounds so far. That means by Christmas, I'll have two things to celebrate, because I hope to be under 200 pounds by Dec 25.

I can't get over it some days ... I literally feel like a different person. Even my skin feels thinner somehow - and softer. There isn't one thing about me or my mindset that resembles who I was a year ago - everything has changed for the better.

It will be a difficult Christmas this year since I lost my beloved Dad in August, but I know how happy he'd be for me. He had terminal cancer and I really think he willed himself to live to see his first great grandchild (who was born in July) and to see me finally blossom - he always saw more beauty in me than I ever did. I never saw past the fat...
