Starting fresh pays off.

I knew just simply starting over completely would help me get back on track. I didn't feel like I was struggling anymore, everything came easy to me this week. Finally, after 3 stressful, tiring weeks, I have lost 2.6 of the 3.6 pounds I had gained. I am back down to 178.4, less than a pound away from my smallest ever. I have lost 116 pounds, 116 pounds? Crazy. I sometimes do not understand how I did this. I am still surprised everyday by my determination and the support of not only my family and amazing friends, but complete strangers. I feel healthy again. Light and beautiful. 3 weeks of feeling bloated and uncomfortable, and now everyone is noticing. In the 2 hours I was at school on Monday, 3 people asked if I lost more weight. The answer was happily yes. I am confident again, which I have learned is the secret weapon in losing weight. If you are confident in yourself and abilities, you will lose weight. Things are COMPLETELY back on track. I am just so anxious to see next weeks results. I'm thinking sooner than I realized I will see my goal weight, 154 on the scale. That will be the proudest moment of my life. I cannot wait until these years of hard work finally pay off. I am sitting here in size 10 jeans, a large top that is too big, and a huge smile on my face. I cannot put into words how happy I am that my rut is over! LOVEEEEE ITTTT!!!
