I've talked before about perspective. I weigh today what I weighed when I was 12. I have never in my adult life weighed this little. I'm actually 20 pounds lighter than my lowest adult weight and very close to being in the 100s. YAY me. When I started this journey, the goal was losing 200 pounds. I never really thought it was possible. Now, I realize, it's totally possible. I remember thinking "I'm a big girl, if I could get down to a 18, I'd be happy."
I realize now, that both of those statements aren't true. I'm really quite petite. And, not happy with 18. I'm actually down to a size 14, and I'm hoping to be down to single digits by december, I guess we'll see.
I was talking to some friends at work and I realized that I may never be satisfied with where I am, I may always wish I were smaller, but honestly, I've even exceeded my goals for myself, and what I perceived as realistic. It makes me want to shoot higher. The only limits are the ones set in my head!
Lauralee, your last statement, "The only limits are the ones set in my head!" is so true! Congratulations on your major accomplishments - I hear what you are saying.
