June 14, 2007. Weight approx. 220 lbsI can't believe it's been over 2 months since I last wrote a blog. My how time flies. I've had so many different things happen in that period of time. Thursday July 12, 2007 I marked my most significant milestone on this journey thus far: 100 lbs lost!
July 12, 2007 Weight 198 lbs (100 lbs lost)
I think these past weeks have perhaps been my most challenging. The problem for me with weight loss isn't the actually losing weight part. I have said before that the difficulties for me come in the psychological, emotional, spiritual. It's hard to describe but in some ways I had accepted myself as "subhuman". I am now just starting to finally see myself as a woman, not as a separate entitity. I went to visit my best friend and her new baby and for the first time I am actually excited at the idea of maybe someday being a mother myself. Perhaps I am starting to hear the ticking of my biological clock, I don't know. What I do know is that I need to be open to whatever God has in store for me and I do not have to hide behind my weight anymore.
