Promises

When I woke up this morning and weighed myself, I started thinking about the number that was on the scales on August 1st. I was 330 pounds then. It was SUCH an accomplishment when I made it under the 300 mark. It still astonishes me when I step on the scale and the first digit of my weight is a 2 instead of a 3. This morning I weighed 285 pounds. In disbelief, I stepped off the scales and stepped on again...285. Stepped off, stepped on again...285! I've lost 45 pounds! I felt proud. Most people would say "WHAT!? Weighing 285 pounds is nothing to be proud about!" ...but for me it's been a big accomplishment. I then made a promise to myself, the promise to NEVER let that first digit be a 3 again! I am so ashamed that I ever let myself get to that. I am too important to do that to my body!!! From August 1st through the rest of my life, I am going to eat healthy and exercise, because I am worth that! Tasty junk food isn't worth the side effects it causes; for me the side effect besides obesity was self loathing. I am so excited to continue this weight loss journey and to be in disbelief of how much I've lost again! It truly is a great feeling!
