Ok I haven’t been biking in ages, nor have I done any exercising in the last while because any shortness of breath would probably cause me to cough up a lung.
In any case, I’m down 1 lb more this week! Which brings me to 25 pounds lost so far!!
That’s exactly as much as the dude’s fish in this photo weighs! Sometimes I think about the weight I’ve lost and think it’s not really all that much. So I look up the weight I’ve lost and find photos of things that weigh that much, or I go to the supermarket and hold that much weight in butter.
The butter thing makes me laugh inside because I just imagine what people must be thinking. “No WONDER she’s so fat if she eats that much butter!”
This is one of those numbers that is like a hump, like 10 and 20. The goals you set for yourself and it seems a bit more special than say, 22. My next goal is to push past 30 lbs, which hopefully won’t take as long as it did to get from 20 – 25.
I still have a lot of weight to go. People online keep telling me that I don’t look like I need to lose a lot of weight, but that’s because I’m very clever about how I crop my pics. I don’t mind being vocal on here about how fat my ass is, actually posting photos of it is another thing entirely!
I could lose 100-150 lbs and still be a healthy human being. Not model healthy but normal healthy. That must make me sound absolutely huge, but hey, I guess I am!
I can’t think in terms of the big picture though, because compared to how much I have lost, the amount I still NEED to lose seems like an almost impossible amount.
I’m proud to have gotten this far though, I certainly never thought I’d survive 17 weeks without chocolate or the other tasty tidbits I love. Now it seems like the norm for me.
I do have dreams, or nightmares rather… where I completely gorge myself on chocolate cake, cookies, and all other things sinful. I wake up feeling guilty and ashamed. I don’t know if that’s normal but eish, it stops me from actually doing it for real because at least when it’s just a dream I feel better after I’ve been awake for five minutes.
Anyhow, time to push on to 30! Wish me luck! :)
Good job, and good luck. You are doing better than me.
That’s amazing! I don’t know if I could be as strong as you and a) lose all that weight or b) post on the internet about my weightloss! You’re an inspiration.
That’s a BIG fish! When I loose my job in the new year I am going to get a new job without any toffee, chocolate, cake loving colleagues who thinks I need to share their treats!
I guess I could say no thank you… who am I kidding!?
25 lbs! congrats
youll be at 30 in no time!
Good for you and you GO GIRL!!!
good luck!
but really at this stage you don’t need luck. You just need to keep doing what you are doing
You are doing AWESOME!!! Would love to see pics… :)
Congrats on the weight loss. You sound determined, I’m sure you’ll make your goals. :)
Oh yes, Thank you for taking me on as your tenant this week too!
Fantastic!
The remaining weight may seem like an impossible amount, but you’re making good steady progress. Plus, the more weight you drop, the easier exercise will become, which will make the weight drop faster, etc.
CONGRATS. on your weight loss!! And good luck on continuing! The first couple of pounds are the hardest, but it sounds like you are well on your way!! *big hugs*
Well, if you dream about it, and realize just how horrible you’d feel after, then you can prevent such a mistake! I guess it works, right?
I admire your strength, really. I’m such a chocolate junkie, I’m surprised I’m not like.. a billion pounds by now XD
I haven’t been around lately, but I’m back! You’ve added lots to your blog! Looks great :D
