I am 5 pounds away from 100 pounds lost! I love saying that, I love knowing that. I love it when people tell me, every day, how nice I look. I love it when people don't recognize me - this does really happen. I love when people actually tell me I am skinny, and they might mean it! I love buying new clothes, in regular sizes! Worth the money right there. I do love how I feel, in this new and ever-changing body. I love that my doctor is so proud of me! I love that people ask me about how I did it; I guess I love that I can be a good example to others, and that they might admire me for this notable accomplishment. I love being able to cross my legs fairly normally. I love signing up for road races with my brother and with friends.
I am anticipating how great it will feel when I do finally get to say, "I've lost 100 pounds!!!" I want the confetti, the marching band, the cheers, the claps on the back, the "Good for yous!" The newspaper announcements! The "How I Did It" articles! The magazine covers!! Haha, that would never happen, but what if! Those people on BL make a pretty big deal over losing their first 100lb. I congratulate them, I embrace that spirit, and YES I DO want that for myself!!!
I can't wait to "out-grow" (in the best way) my current pair of skinny pants. I think I am smaller now than when I got home from vet school. I was wearing 18-20s then, eventually outgrew those. Today I can wear 16s!
I think I feel prouder of this than I did when I got out of vet school!
