Two years ago today, on December 17th, 2010 (a Friday), I stood on my scale on a dark and chilly morning, just before heading to work.
What did I discover?
I was at my goal weight for the first time.
Ever.
I've maintained my 115+ lbs weight loss for two years now.
What does maintaining my weight loss mean to me?
This photo pretty much sums it up. A quick snap of me at this weekend's White Elephant Christmas party.
I wore this same sweater last Christmas too.
Thinking back to the days when I was a fatty, I can remember what it was like to have to go buy a new shirt, dress, outfit, etc before a party or special event because nothing in my closet fit me.
Everything was too small.
Always too small.
Sigh.
But now, I can go look through all the fun clothes that I have hanging in my closet and know that they will fit me.
And to me, that's what weight maintenance is all about.
Onwards.
