This is a very emotional day for me today. I have lost 3 more lbs which is very exciting. I am emotional just because the fact that I lack just 1 more lb and I will have lost 20lbs. I am not disapointed with my weight loss. I am very excited about it. i just cant believe the progress that I have made. I still have a long way to go but I know that I will make it. I am also very excited because I just need to loose 11lbs to reach my goal of 30lbs. I just cant believe that I am where I am. I feel so much better about myself. I had a weird Dr who diagnosed me with My PCOS. I do know that I have it, there is no denying it but he told me that I could diet and excercise but that I wont be able to get rid of all my weight. I am going to prove him wrong. I want to show that just because I have PCOS doesnt mean that I have to just accept it and accept all the side effects to it. I am going to do it. Like I have said before I have so many supporters that keep me going and I love each and every single one of them. My boyfriend is so amazing. He makes me want to live life to the fullest. A couple of summers ago I rode Jet Skis with him and we did have a little difficulty but I know that loosing all this weight helps out even more. I dont think that we will have a chance to go this year but hopefully next year and think how much more weight that I can loose in 1 year is awesome. I am just so happy! To all of my supporters here on Daily Strength, I love and appreciate each one of you too. My best friend, who is Shannon's little sister has an amazing body and I told her that if I do ever reach her size, I want to share clothes with her because she has some of the most amazing outfits ever. She has told me that she hopes her brother will eventually come around and propose. Our anniversarry is coming up 1 month and 1 week from today and I am excited because my gift to him is concert tickets for the both of us. I have never been to a concert before and am so excited because I can actually where some cuter outfits then what I used to wear. He and I will be together for 2 years at that time but we have both talked before and it feels like we have been together longer. I do have a promise ring that is silver with 2 hearts linked. It is so beautiful. Im sorry that Im going on and on but I just never thought in my life when I was going through my seperation, and then my divorcee that I would ever be this happy again. Actually im the happiest that I have ever been in my life. Well I am going to stop babbling on. I just wanted to let everyone know that I lost 3lbs from last saturday to today. I hope that everyone has a wonderful day today.
UPDATED GOALS
Girl, you can ramble on all you want to--it's your journal! :)Congratulations on your weight loss, as well as your upcoming anniversary. I'm so happy for you finding a good man that you can depend on. You deserve this blessing after all the strife you've dealt with!
I can relate to how liberating the weight loss can be. Even though I'm far from my goal, the progress I've made has already freed my soul some I think. I keep thinking to myself, I don't care how long this takes, I will reach happiness, peace with myself and my body, and whatever that entails.
Have a happy 4th!

Oh, and forget what that doc told you! You hear about docs saying someone has 3 months to live, only to live for another 20 year b/c they have a brave spirit. I'm all about proving that I can do anything I set my mind to. I know you can too!

Congratulations. You are an amazing woman! Thanks also for connecting with me as a friend on this site.20 pounds is a lot of weight-just try carrying something 20 pounds next time you take a walk so you can remember how much lighter you are now. It is so invigorating to watch the weight melt off! I am so grateful for every single day I follow my food plan perfectly. I have 25 days now of writing out my plan each day and recording every bite just as planned. That is my goal-follow my plan and record it one day at a time.I love to dream about the days when i won't have all this extra weight to lug around. Hearing about your progress really encourages me. Every single day there are very tough, precarious moments and for a flash,I wonder if I will make it through the moment without using food to "comfort" me. For 25 days now whenever that happens I remember nothing is as important today as following my food plan-nothing. What we are doing now, losing weight, is the most important thing we can be doing, and often the hardest. Keep up the great work!
