Huge Major Goal Reached

I figured that this deserved its own post instead of being buried in the daily meal thread.

This morning I weighed myself. I try to do this first thing in the morning after using the bathroom and before I shower, eat, drink, or clothe myself. I've been forgetting the last few mornings. Today I remembered that I'd forgotten after the showering and clothing myself but before the ingesting anything. But having not weighed myself the last two days, since I forgot to do it at the right time, I said screw it - I'll weigh with my garments already on and probably be sad since my weight is up. But whatever.

HOLY HELL YOU GUYS. I have, officially, lost half of my original body weight.

Then I cried. And Art hugged me. And I cried more. And he cleaned my glasses for me.

Like many of us, I'm sure, I never in a million years expected that I'd be successful when I started this entire process. And I definitely never thought I would be THIS successful. I feel like a rockstar. I AM A ROCKSTAR.

I still have weight to lose, but OMG. Talk about major goal achievement. If I wasn't so sore/glued together from plastics still, I'd be dancing :D So you all should do a little dance for me today!

And in funny (to me at least) news, my next goal had been 150 - plastics countdown.

My original plan had been to get to 150 and then start the plastics process with consultation and scheduling and I figured that I'd be having plastics maybe 6-9 months after getting to 150.

Yeah... guess that goal is obviated. :P
