I am half way through week 13 and I weighed 198.4 pounds this morning. So far I have lost 25.6 pounds! Some days, like today, I feel really good about that. Some days, like yesterday, I'm frustrated that this is taking so long. I've been having a funny mind game going on for the last week or so, ever since I dropped below 200 pounds. I've been obsessed with making sure I don't end up getting to a weigh in day (which are Mondays and Thursdays) and weighing 200 pounds again. It's about all I can think about. I want to get to about 195 pounds right now so that I have a little cushion for my weight fluctuations. But the fact of the matter is that I can't and won't lose 5 pounds overnight. It will take me 3 weeks to lose five pounds. It's just hard to be patient right now. It helped a lot to get on the scale and see 198.4. That gives me a little breathing room...
All in all, my weight loss has been incredibly steady over the last 13 weeks. Sometimes I can't even believe it when I look at my line. It's pretty cool to know that by Pat's wedding on June 30 I'll weigh about 190 pounds and by the time Jack and I go on vacation in September I'll be in the 170s. That's what I hang on to when I get a little frustrated. This process really is working, and it is working well. I will get there. I am doing this!!!!
