Day 17... a duh moment & a re-weigh in :-)

I went to the Dr. this morning with Art, seeing as how I don't have to be at work until 1:15 PM today... & while I was there I decided I would weigh myself again. And to my delight I lost more weight :-) I lost 1 more pound since Monday!!! :-) as you can see on my weight loss ticker at the top of my blog I have lost a total of 11 pounds altogether now! I'm very happy about this :-) this is definitely a step in the right direction for me.

I still have sometimes have that negative voice in my head that makes me question myself if I can truly go the distance and lose the 100 pounds. It's such a big number, & I've never lost more than 30 total. But small successes like this, give me hope. I would be happy with 2 pounds a week. I know it's going to take me about a year... and that is actually what my goal is. I'll be completely happy with that as long as it keeps moving in the right direction.

Wish Me Luck!
