A part of me didn't think it would happen. I believed I'd never get here, I kept sabotaging myself again and again into maintenance, just a few pounds away. But through prayer, diligence, and hard work, here I am. ONEDERLAND! It's a stupid name, but nothing else quite expresses the excitement and gravity of it. Me. This morning. 198.8 pounds. I haven't seen a '1' in front my my weight since high school. I weighed in at 180 something after a 20 pound depression-related gain, moved away from my scale and didn't see one again until I married my husband, and then I was 220-something. This is HUGE. And exciting. And very, very surreal. My highest weight I've seen is 270-something, and I started this journey at 257. So I am 59 pounds down over two years, a pregnancy, and a myriad of breaks to maintain. But I'm here. And I haven't had a regain. Praise the LORD for helping me do this! I'll take a hallway picture either today or by Sunday, depending on when I next put on makeup and get out of spit up clothes. But either way, it's true and it happened. I overcame my block and whooshed right by 199. I expect to bounce around here a bit, and maybe up above 200 due to water retention for a week or so, but maybe not. This wasn't a fluke, it wasn't luck, it was sticking to the plan I KNOW works. All week long. So to the 200's, I HAPPILY say 'so long!'. I plan to work hard enough that I never, ever see you again. 198. Wow.
