ONLY 55 pounds...
I posted this in my April 24th 2004 journal AND to my buddies on GOAD



I saw my doctor yesterday & we were talking about the fact that I have lost 70 lbs... I even showed her my WW weigh-in book, LOL, & stated that I ONLY have less than 55 lbs to go to reach goal!

She said "what do you think of that number... 55 lbs?"

& I said "like it's nothing!"
Really... LIKE IT'S NOTHING!

(she was surprised... 55 lbs to most people isn't NOTHING... 55 lbs to alot of people is just a start & it's overwhelming... I understand that, but I'm not at the beginning of my journey, am I?)

It IS nothing... all it is is TIME at this point. Time is passing, I'm eating healthy, exercising, striving for a better life & at some point in time I'll reach goal. I know it's going to be sooner than later... I'd like it to be by next spring (2005) just because I'm so darned ready for my PT Cruiser! LOL!! (& want to enjoy it for a while before I have to put it through its first Minnesota winter... salt, etc...) But until then (& even afterwards, of course) it's just about living my life... my new life, my awesome life, my healthy life!! :o)

Anyways... I'm just blown away w/ how far I've come... & how small 55 lbs seems to me. :o)

REMEMBER THIS...
TIME + HEALTHY LIVING = WEIGHT LOSS
~ thanks LUCKY_MAN for that formula!
