The incredible shrinking woman!

It's official! I have lost 60lbs! It is so amazing to me that I have been able to accomplish such a feat. When I set out on my weight loss journey 6 months ago, with a goal to either lose 100 lbs, or be able to fit into a size 8, whichever came first... I thought it would be impossible... but, I am more than halfway there!

People look at me and tell me I look so great, and that they can totally tell I've lost weight. I know the scale doesn't lie, and I know my clothing sizes have defintely gone down, from a 24/26 to a 12/14.

But when I look at myself in the mirror... I still see a fat person... and I hate it. But I know that I will eventually be skinny again... and it's just a matter of time, I need to have patience...

Sometimes it takes seeing old pictures of myself to remind me of how much bigger I used to be, and how far I've come in 6 months... and that 6 months from now I will (hopefully) be at my goal and looking at pictures from now and going oh my gosh look how much I've changed!

I don't ever want to go back to where I came from... so thats why it's better that the weight loss has been gradual, and that I'm trying to lose it over the course of a year from healthy lifestyle changes rather than crash dieting. Less likely to gain it back that way. But I wish these last pesky 40 lbs would just disappear, haha!

Me 60 lbs ago... oi... but I had my eyebrow pierced! Haha

Me now...
