Today is a good Friday….no wait, correction, today is a GREAT Friday! I hopped on the scale this morning, and jumped up for joy…I am at 156 pounds! Which means, that I have now lost a total of 80 pounds! Wow, I can hardly believe that. And even though I still have 11 lbs left to lose to reach my target, I am so excited about having lost 80 lbs…I realise that it is a huge accomplishment, and the fact that I did it all on my own, makes it that much more of an exploit.
And as if that wasn’t happy enough news, A friend of mine works for a magazine here in Montreal, and they are doing a story on 5 women that have a good reason to celebrate in 2008, and she submitted my name for the weight loss category of that story, and they actually picked me!! So not only were my accomplishments underlined in Best Health magazine, but now, they will be in print as well. I can’t put into words how I feel right now, but I am buzzing with pride and excitement. I was already very proud of myself for achieving such great results with my weight loss, but now to actually be in a magazine, just really emphasises my pride even more.
If I would have known what a huge impact losing all this weight would have on my life, I would have done it sooner! It literally has changed my life and me forever…and for the better. I am 35 years old, and I have never felt this good about myself and I know that it’s all uphill from here!
