It happened faster than I though it would. I hopped on the scale this morning and displayed before me was a number I thought was hogwash. So I stepped off, reset the scale and got back on. Holy moley...299 lbs.!! Happy is an understatement! It has been about 12 years since I have been under the 300 mark. I am still pinching myself to make sure I am not dreaming.
This was, in my mind, the first goal I wanted to reach. At 395 lbs. it seemed an impossible goal then. But I did it! This is much more than a number. Physically the freedom of movement that everyone takes for granted has been restored for me. Putting on socks and shoes is no longer a dread as there is no need for me to dislocate a joint to reach my feet. I've gone down 2 sizes in clothes, and it feels great. I feel good on my feet and have more energy to make it though the workday and I'm no longer totally exhausted at the end of the day. I'm a happy girl. :)
