I can’t believe I actually did it! This is a dream come true!



For the last few weeks I have been struggling to hit one of the most important milestones of my whole weight loss journey. Losing and gaining mere ounces dangling just at the cusp of something so desired has come close to driving me insane!


Last week, as I slithered towards the scale my heart hung lower than usual at the prospect of yet another few ounces gained or lost. But as I looked at the scale, I was completely shocked at what I saw. I thought to myself, this must be a dream!


I had lost 2 lbs. But much more significant than those two pounds, was the fact that this very moment, for the first time in as long as I can remember, I looked down and saw that the scale showed I was below 300 lbs! This was a surreal experience and a dream come true!


At that moment, all of the emotions of the last few weeks and the past decade came crashing over me like a tsunami. It was incredible to see two pounds shed. I am finally below what I weighed my senior year of high school. For the first time, the number staring back at me started with a 2 instead of a 3, 4, or even a 5! As difficult as the journey has been at times, this reward makes it so worth it!
As of the writing of this post I have lost a total of 240 lbs. in 67 weeks! Please continue to follow my journey by liking me on facebook, following me on twitter, and much more! Friends, I am not finished yet. This is only the beginning, lets do this!
