NEW FEATURE – WEIGH-in-WEDNESDAY – MY I’M GONNA-DO-IT-THIS-TIME WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY – WEEKLY CHECK-IN

 

WARNING: Transparent and oh-so-vulnerable post ahead.

 

Once upon a time I thought I was fat.

 



  

I was wrong.

 

I had a RED LETTER day last week—on Thursday, I hit a milestone!!!

 



I don’t remember the last time my weight was under 240. I know the pounds will still fluctuate, and Friday it was 240.6. But it’s progress.

 

I BROKE 240!!! And that’s HUGE!!!

 

I was giddy all day and absolutely CROWED about it all day! I even shared a post on Facebook! Talk about vulnerable! Not that I anticipated any criticism for gaining so much weight to begin with, but as of today (Saturday) there are 47 reactions and 36 comments, all positive and encouraging.

 

Remember all those lovely veg I got a few weeks ago? Well, dummy me (and I don’t know why I did this; I know better) but I cooked all of them all at once. And as yummy as they were, a body can only eat so much at a time. I did get some frozen, and I had a serving with, I think, 3 meals. But they went bad before I could eat them all. WAAAAA

 


* I didn’t get a pic of the veg before I cut everything.

 

BUT, I have more on hand and will be smart about it this time—I got everything prepped / chopped, and will only cook enough for 2 or 3 servings at a time.

 


 

Well, rats, I’m stuck at 238.8. If you can call 2 days in a row stuck. LOL But Monday I dipped down to 238.4 so there’s that. Still, I’m under 240 and I’m tickled about that!

 

Next stop:

 



 With all the encouragement I’m getting from everyone, I have set my target weight to 160 rather than 180. I know I can do it, I will do it.

 


Here’s to seeing less of me in the weeks to come.
