a month after i started...

So....it's been a month since i started logging my weight and really cracking down on what i eat.  I weighed 190 lbs, i weighed in this morning at 181 lbs.!! I'm very excited!!  I'm really doing it.  I can do this.  Whenever I get discouraged I look at the pics i took of myself a few months back.  Around the time i had Logan which was Oct. 22, I always look at at a pic of me on Nov. 19.  It's such a relief and a joy to see that I'm slimming down.  I actually look good!  I can't wait to see how good i feel and look when and if i get down to 130 lbs.  I've never been down that far unless it was when i got sick with Crohn's disease..which i don't count.  But I'll never forget how cute that string bikini looked on me!!  I've not had that since.  But I'm still starting small and my goal at this moment is 160 lbs.  At this rate..i see me self getting there by April.  That would be awesome!  

These plateaus kill me though. I've always been told they would..but man!  i stayed at 185 FOREVER! The i got stuck at 183 for even longer. I was beginning to think i was failing..then i hit 181 yesterday.  Thank goodness!  I am waiting on our tax money to come in to buy a really nice digital scale..i figure when I lose all the weight and accomplish my goal..it'll ALL pay off!  But that's what I got for now..next time I write..I'm going to be 175 damn it!  Hopefully it is soon!
