Weigh In Day - Mini Goal Achieved!

So I weighed myself today and I am down to 220!!! That's 40 pounds gone! It is really hard for me to believe.

The feelings are mixed. First, elation that I have lost so much. Secondly, a bit of a let down as I realize that I have 80 pounds to go. I am still one large lady. It's really hard for me to see where I have lost anything at all. Still, onward and upward (or downward). I'm doing great!

Hi, I just found your blog and want to say congrats on the weight loss. I am struggling with wanting to lose "only" ten pounds and not doing well...
Also read about your sister having the old photos. How about getting copies made of any which both of you want, it can be done very inexpensively using the machine at RiteAid or Walgreens. We just did it with photos taken in the 1890's and you can even zoom in etc...
Just a thought.

Thanks for the comment JanF! You're absolutely right about the pictures. That's what we should do. I felt blindsided at the time, but with a clearer head I need to get started on getting copies made.

Good luck on the 10 pounds! I've broken my journey up into 20 pound chunks. Would it help to break yours up? Even a one pound loss will put you 10% closer to your goal!
