View WHORLEDCRAZY's food & exercise for this day
I woke up this morning and felt like utter crap. I was so depressed. I forced myself to get out of bed and get myself going. The first thing I did was weigh myself and I expected the worst, but I was so happy to discover that I have lost 5 pounds. My day, suddenly, was looking up.
I've lost 60 pounds, and I have 60 more to go. When I started out in February I didn't think about getting this far. I think I would have been so overwhelmed....all I had was a sense of determination that I was going to start and see how far I got. I don't even remember having a goal...I just....started. I was wanted to be healthier and look better. The further along I got the more determined and driven I became.
When I think about how far I've come and how much further I have to go it seems like such a daunting task. I just can't think about how much longer I have to do this. Seriously, it's never going to go away because once I hit goal weight, I have the maintaining to do. What if I get pregnant between now and then, or even after I get there? No, no, no. I just have to think about one day, one pound at a time. That is the only way I'm going to get there. I really do believe that I WILL get there...one way or another. Perseverance has gotten me this far and I know it's going to get me the rest of the way.
The best thing about this whole process is seeing how far I can push myself and the challenges I give myself to go further, faster and harder. This is good. I can do this. I am doing this, everyday that it gets harder are the days that get better.

Great job Jennifer on making it half way to your goal. It is so easy to look at where you want to go and see the daunting task ahead and have doubts. I know it has been said 1000 times but for today just refuse to look at your journey as how far you have left but instead look at the reality of your journey. The reality is that you have lost 60 friggin' pounds! YES 60! C'mon think about it, that is amazing, and it did not happen because you are weak or helpless it happened because you made a decision to change your life and have accomplished that. You should be so proud of where you are. Congratulations!!!
