We all must be on like wavelengths. I've just read Suzy and Stacy's post from last night about struggling and pushing through. My thought - ditto. Years ago I was put on medication which produced a magic weight gain affect. After gaining 65lbs, I cried uncle to my doctor arguing that obesity was just as damaging as the issue I was initially prescribed for. I was put on different medication, but that just meant the weight no longer zoomed up. I still had to take it all back off. I got the first 20lbs off after a great deal of persistence and then hit a huge road block. I've been near that weight for the last 3 1/2 years. Today when I stepped on the scale the number reflected a bitter-sweet moment for me. I didn't have a huge weight loss week - rats! I hit the 30 lb mark from my all time high - yes!
To all my team mates who may only take off a little each week even though you have produced a Herculean effort to do so (and to myself) may I say, "Inch by inch, life is a cinch. Yard by yard, it's very hard."
Thank you so much for inspiring me to finally be able to find the strength to push through. The power of team is phenomenal.
I'm off to lift some weights - focusing on losing inches this week :)
Anita,
ReplyDeleteYou are Awesome! Losing weight is so hard, but it's so worth the effort, when you can look back to see the huge Accomplishmets that have been made. Thanks for all the support!
Inch by inch - I love it! I think I'm going to make that my screen savor.
