I haven’t weighed in because it was affecting my commitment to myself, to keep going. The scale hasn’t told me what I was hoping it would reveal to me by now. I’ve been on this journey since May 1st and thought I would have completed it by now. This is not an excuse, I still have not drunk any Pop. I still continue to drop pounds an inches. I am wearing right now a skirt earlier this year I could not button close. Today not only is it buttoned but I have “breathing room”. It does not have an elastic waist but I can with my fingers, hold it at least bout 3-4 inches away from my skin. So I’m pleased an I anticipate that when I do weigh in again possibly this Tuesday or the Tuesday after next the scale will tell me I’ve reached my 25 lb weight drop goal. So I haven’t given up, quite the contrary. I just believed that being I was so focused on what the scale said until I found myself getting frustrated and having thoughts of giving up. I really didn’t want that to happen. I’ve been there and done that, I want this time to be different, so I’m doing things differently.
My daughter has been my own personal cheerleader. Every time I kicked myself about not having achieved my goal by now she says “well mommy at least your losing some weight it all helps right.” This little girl, I love her to life!!
Time is relative. Success is not. You will succeed. The body does it’s thing on it’s own schedule. What’s next after “lose 25 pounds”?

I’m still learning that. Another 25lb challenge. My goal was always 50 pounds total I just thought it would make it easier at least mentally to break it up. From there, I’ll see how it looks an if I like what I see I’ll leave it there and maintain it. If not I take off another 15-25 pounds. Thanks for your help,support and encouraging words.
