Hi everyone! I am here, just lurking most days because both of my daughters got casted in the local theater's Christmas youth production and we have been practically living there for practices. I do check in though and log my weight in my plan.
I am down to 228, not sure if I will make it to onederland by Christmas but I am excited to see the scale go down and see how close I do get by that time! I love the chart in the my plan section, it is such a visual of the ups and downs but also the continuous downward trend even though I zig zag. I also LOVE seeing the percentage change up in the corner every day, also a good reinforcement for me! Where I used to think "I only lost 28 pounds in 3 months" now I think " I lost 37% of my goal so far!!!!!!"
I don't know about the rest of you but for me this has been also about healing my mind. I have made so much progress in not using food as a crutch or a comfort for hurt feelings. It is a long story but my relationship with my mother is a pretty toxic one, and I finally told her I was done letting her hurt me (over labor day weekend), broke off communication with her, and it has been amazing how healing that was, and how the weight started coming off better. I am reading a book called "getting unstuck" by Dr. Linda Mintle, it is biblically based (just FYI) and is a self-help for women who have gotten "stuck" in depression, anxiety, and eating disorders (or combinations of the three.) It has been instrumental in helping me look at things with a new perspective.
Have a great week everyone!!!
