This is my 40 lbs less pic. Big difference! This is about what I looked like the first time I set out to lose weight. I'm pretty pumped. I can't wait to lose 40 more lbs. I think I will reassess my target once I get to 210. Anywho, I actually have work to do but really wanted to post this pic (taken courtesy of the work bathroom)!!

Alright, I think I've got a spare minute to blog. This is becoming a daily thing for me. I kinda like it. Anywho, I went and actually tried out the new CK site and I like it. I put my new weight in and i even loved how it said that I'd lost too much (which is probably true). I like its honesty and its assessments and I can't wait to use it full force! I'm (the pounds) starting to slow down, and its bittersweet. I'm sad just because those crazy numbers were fun to look at weekly, but sweet because I've wanted my loss to slow down but I can't bring myself to eat much more (I've been working to get to 1400-1600). Nonetheless, I still feel good and I'm feeling better. I was so happy with myself today. I feel like my second intermediate goal (210lbs) is right around the corner. I can't wait until I can say, "I've lost 50lbs". That's going to be so hot. I saw Heather last night on BL and at 174, she looked amazing to me. I would be complete if I looked like that, but I'll reassess my goal once I get to 200-210. I like being larger & shapely, I have no problem being a size 12 or 14. It's so close though! It seems like just yesterday I was almost 300lbs and I wasn't doing anything but wallowing in fat. I am really just trying to take this in stride so that I can start to maintain a 1-2lb loss a week. And I can feel the plateau coming, so I'm mentally preparing for it so I can overcome it with diva-like diligence. So, with that said, I'm pumped! I'm actually excited about summer so I can wear something uber-hot. Tankini sounds good to me. I ate an Otis Spunkmeyer cookie today and it was pretty good. I thought about getting a second, but I think having just the one was enough fatty goodness for my palate. Tonight I have to work. I'm counting down until I quit next week. I'm praying there's not much to do (if anything) in the stock room so maybe i can go home early. I hate that place. God, i can't wait til next Friday (quitting day). Anywho, gotta finish out these last few minutes before I get to go home. Later!

11:00pm
So I just got home from work and I got some McD's. I got a 6 piece and a small fry. CK says to avoid fried foods, but whatever, it was only 500 calories. I'll deal. It did almost make me hungrier though. After I eat McDs, it always makes me feel weird. So work was stupid. Well, it was OK. I always feel like I'm not getting any accomplished and they are just begging for me to quit. SORRY! You're going to have to wait until next Friday. I'm pissed because my manager will be working that day and I was going to try to avoid her. Oh well! Tomorrow I only have to work one job so I'm going to go work out before i head to that stupid place. My bunion has really been hurting lately. I don't know why, because I haven't been wearing tight shoes or anything. But it's like i get a shooting pain in my foot when I walk and it's annoying. Stupid sports injuries. Tomorrow I'm going to BOGO at Payless. I'm excited. I am the queen of clearance/cheap shopping. I don't know when is the last time I bought something uber-expensive. Last weekend I got 3 shirts and jeans for $30, and I didn't sacrifice style for price either. All of it is uber-cute. I'm about to cut my foot off, it's annoying the crap outta me. What the hell does JoJo know about some guy "touching" her?! Isn't she like...5? I looked SO cute today! I did my hair, and I had makeup on, I was hot! I posted my before/after pics on myspace and got a considerable amount of love from my friends. I can't wait til I can post "-50" and then "-60". SO CLOSE! SO CLOSE! I love The Daily Show & THe Colbert Report. They always give me a great laugh before I go to sleep. OK, time to giggle at John Stewart. Good night everyone!!!
