It's been five weeks and a half since I decided that i was going to get healthy, lose weight, and accomplish goals that I had thought about before but never got to. I am proud of myself for where I am right now. I started at 239 lbs and now I am hovering at 223-224lbs, but its not just the weight that I'm happy about. When I look in the mirror I'm actually happy with what I see, I see my persistence and hard work coming through in that I look smaller, I feel stronger, I have more energy, and I in general feel like doing more things and getting out. I know that at any time I might break down and not exercise or stuff my face but when I think about the goals that I have set it brings everything into perspective and I get back on course. This is the biggest difference between now and the previous quests to lose weight that I have done, I know now that even if I mess up I will continue to GO, and as long as I keep on going I'll get there, maybe not as fast but I'll still get there.
Right now I have been sitting at this weight for about 2 weeks so I have obviously hit a plateau, this week I will really try get below 220lbs because its right around the corner and I know that I can do it. I know that once I accomplish my fitness goals it will be a stepping stone to accomplishing other goals that I've had but didn't have the will to do.
