Let's start here...

So here I am...25 pounds down and many more to go.

The first 25 were hard but I have a feeling the next 10 will be even harder. I thought writing about it would help get some things out.

When I started, I knew that it was going to be hard physically. Eating right and working out a lot takes time and money and those are two things I don't have a lot of! However, as much as I knew the physical part would be hard, I was not aware of the mental aspect of it. As of now I am down about 3 pants sizes but yet I still find myself going for the 20's or while searching for clearance sales, I will pick out Extra Larges and then almost feel disappointed when they're too big. It's an odd thing that happens mentally when you lose weight. There are times when I look in the mirror and see no difference. I feel some differences (pants being too big, my engagement ring twists around and even the seats at Adventureland seemed to have more room this year!) but it's just hard to believe I guess! So that's why I'm doing this. I still have a ways to go to be what I want. So I'm hoping this helps me with goal number to, to be down to 190 by my wedding day, October 9th. So here I am on July 6th and I weight 200. Wish me luck!
