WOOOHOOOO! Cursed number is behind me!
For years and years, I have always had trouble with the 150’s. Don’t know what it is or why. It isn’t that that is the number that is good for my body because it surely isn’t because even now, my BMI is still “overweight” Love that term but better then obese. But, back to my orginal subject, I remember having troube with that number every time I lose weight and I just hate it so much! Last week’s weigh in was just soso and it had me worried that I would not be able to get that number gone on my scale. I then weighed in after two days (I weigh on Monday for official weigh day ) and I gained 2 ounces! I was shocked and not just a little depressed. There was nothing that should have causedme to put on any weight. Told my husband about it and he told me I should stay off of the scale, good decision. So I did. Well, today is my heartbreakers weigh in so I got the scale out, stripped and then carefully got on the scale all the while holding my breath. Wow, 68, better get on it again and check, did it three times and got the same numbber, 68kg! (149.6) oh wow, I did it, I got below my cursed number! I am still dancing around and very happy about that. It is like a weight has been lifted and I can see past the mountain. I am not stopping because I still have at least 39.6 pounds to go but this was a huge weight in my mind. To see past it has just lit up my life. And this was the weight I was when I got engaged to my husband!! This means, once I get below 149, I will be lower then I have in 9 years! And even then I had lost a lot just to get there! From there, my next goal is to get below 138. This is the weight I lost 90 pounds and got to in the ninth grade. I can’t wait to get below that because then I will be lower then I have ever been except perhaps as a child so I am so excited, like a child at christmas time! I can wear all my old clothes now and I can look nice. I haven’t been complimented in a long time for my clothes but now I am hearing more and more. Losing weight does not solve the world problems but it makes life definitely easier to deal with! So, now, waiting with baited breath for next week’s weigh in and hoping to earn my next avi! Have a great one!~

Congrats on making it past a tough spot. I’m so glad you’re husband advised you to be off the scale a while. If you are getting stressed out about 2 oz., which is nothing and could be just a fluctatuation in scale accuracy, position on the scale or you drank a glass of water today- well, that wears down on your mind so fast. Keep working towards your goal, and I hope you can be realistic with weight loss and put aside teeny fluctuations rather than consider them firm loss or gain. I”ll never be 110 lbs. in my life but I envy you your goal and you are doing GREAT ar getting there.
well done! your graph looks great!
