It's been a month since I started my journey back to Sane-ville. My start weight was 248 pounds. I needed to loose 118 pounds to get to my goal of 130.

I weighed myself today and I've lost 22 pounds. It's not all in my head, I'm not imagining it. It really is happening and I don't think I have to walk on egg shells anymore wondering if it's working. At least I know my scale doesn't lie (THAT much). It's working. It's working. It's working. I can do this.

I know that's it's not a huge amount compared to where I have to go (-96 more pounds) ...but it IS a start and I have to start sometime, somewhere....I know I still have a huge battle to work through. The self doubts are going to rage and I know my self-sabotaging skills will be in overdrive....but this is a vindication......a sign, that I can do this with vigilance and patience. I'm looking forward to my half-way mark ( which is -59 pounds but after today I ONLY have to lose 37 more pounds to reach that).

Taking a deep breath. I really AM on my way.
