to being thin. It's been a while since I actually believed that I would become thin. At 339 lbs you just kinda hope to be thin, but you really don't believe it. I've lost 14.2 lbs, but what I've gained is determination. I am no longer worried about making it past the 3 week mark, now I am thinking about how great it will be as I get this weight off.
I have a pair of Jeans (from high school) that were a 10/11. I have a picture of me in these jeans that I just love. I used to use these jeans as my goal jeans. When you are a size 30, having a goal of a 10/11 seems silly. I had also bought a beautiful coral sweater size XL to go with the jeans. I know I won't need an XL if I can fit into the jeans, but I loved the sweater and bought it in the largest "normal" size. I hadn't thought about these clothes in quite a while, but this morning, I just has to find them. Bottom drawer...there they were. Proof that there is still hope. Something to strive for. And along with them, were some sweaters in a more attainable size. 3x. I wear a 4x and more recently I need a 5x to be comfortable. Who would have ever thought that a 3x would be a goal, but it is. It's mid-february and I am thinking that I might just end up skipping those sweaters all together because I won't be ready for them this winter (spring is coming!!!) And I would hope that by winter of next year, they will be too big. Wouldn't that just be the cat's meow! So this weekend I will find a summer 3x shirt to make my goal.
I have 3 food "events" coming up. Sunday I am having a purse party at my house where of course I will serve yummy appetizers & desserts. That night we are going out to dinner for my nephews birthday. Then Tuesday, it's Bunko again at my house. I will plan for these events and work around them just like I did for the super-bowl. There is no reason these things have to change my course. I am in control.
Along with being in control...I am excited. Excited because I am changing my life. Excited because I believe. 20 lbs...here I come!

When you believe it ... when you can see it in your mind's eye ... when you can FEEL your determination ... that's when you know it's going to happen. The only way you can fail to reach your goal, Sandi, is to stop before you get there. And somehow, I've got the feeling that there ain't no stopping you now!!!
Yes, excited is GOOD. Hang onto that feeling and run with it (literally ;) Visualization can be quite powerful. See yourself wearing those jeans!
Sandi I love your frame of mind this last little while, I can really tell that you will lose your weight this time around. You're doing so well... We're all here for you ...
