Losing 100 pounds and what it means to me…

While continuing on my quest to be a happier, healthier person, I reached an amazing milestone recently that I wanted to share and that is that I have now lost 100 pounds (and counting). 🙂

While I still have a ways to reach my goal weight, I cannot begin to express what an incredible emotional boost it is to achieve the 100 pound weight loss mark. While eating healthier and being more active over the last year, I have watched the weight slip away a few pounds at a time, week after week, month after month. It seems like slow going at times, but then I realize that I didn’t put on the weight overnight, so I shouldn’t expect to lose it overnight either.

This last year hasn’t been about just losing weight for me, it has been about re-capturing my life. One day about a year ago I was feeling especially sorry for myself and the way my life was going. I felt like I had dug myself into such a big rut that it was pretty much a bottomless pit that I could never crawl out of. I felt absolutely terrible every single day, I barely got around anymore, my life was filled with both physical and emotional clutter and I felt completely overwhelmed by, well, just about everything. It was at that moment that it occurred to me that I had the power to make positive changes and to create a better life for myself. At that point on, I was in the driver’s seat and I am in control of my life in a much more positive way. Of course, that doesn’t mean I haven’t run into plenty of speed bumps along the away, because, guess what, that’s life. 😉 But, now instead of being overwhelmed, I tackle those speed bumps one at a time and I am finding my own little slice of happy, one day at a time.
