I've crossed over the 1/2 way mark and I just have to pat myself on the back.

I have roughly 33 lbs to go. I feel amazing...I'm a slow loser, but this is working so I'm here for the long haul.

As I get closer I may re-examine my goal weight, but for right now, I'm all set with it.

I got into a small size of jeans comfortably(that's the key word) no muffin top, no wedgies, I could breathe and I can't tell you how excited that makes me feel. I'm getting there.

The old me is re-ermerging.

I saw some people at a party this weekend that I hadn't seen in about a year. I absolutely loved the shock in their face when they saw me. I knew that it was real. I also had a heart to heart with my dad, who surprisingly through all of this has been really supportive. He told me how proud he was of me for losing weight and that what I'm doing is hard work and don't let anyone tell me that I don't look good...etc. He gave me a hug and kissed me on the cheek. It was HUGE! My dad is not the type to do that at all. Bittersweet that he's proud of my weightloss and didn't tell me he was proud of the other things I've done in my life, but I'll take it. I've tried my whole life to make him proud of me.

I am so thrilled for you. Making it to the half way point is HUGE! You have made it up the mountain so it is all downhill from here!

Congrats on the moments you got to share with your dad, I am sure he is proud of you for many things but sometimes it is hard for men to share those things.

For the most part, men are 'thinkers', not 'sayers'. Being emotional is not 'cool' to many of them. We think they don't notice things, but they do. Your Dad wore his heart on his sleeve for you to see, this weekend, and I am so happy for you!!
And, how about you getting half way to your goal, you certainly deserve to be estatic and so proud! Congratulations! Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend!
