What does 100lbs look like?

So I have been asked by many of you "did you reach your goal?"  No I did not.....But last thursday I did quietly reach 100lb total weight loss.  I've kept it a bit quiet, one reason is because I am not at my goal ( I still have 4 more to go!) the other reason.... how do I explain?

It's like this, if you worked really hard at something for a really long time, like 2 years and suddenly you reach the ultimate.....the big kahunna.  How do you THINK you would feel?  Excited right? Yes, there is that element of excitement. 100lbs is a big deal, I of all people understand that.  I put in A LOT of hard work, a lot of sweat and yes a lot of tears along the way.  But there is another side to it.  One that I discovered after I hit 90lbs which was my original goal when I started.  Excitement.... and then what?   I put a lot of excitement and celebration into hitting my 90lbs and it was great; my friends, family and coach celebrated with me.  But the weeks that followed I did not expect to feel so sad and a bit lost.

So I did not want to make a big deal out of 100lbs.  I told my husband and my coaches.  That day was a bit of an emotional flood of accomplishment and it came over me when I did not expect it.  When I look back at this picture of when I started, I really don't recognize or even believe I looked that way.  I do remember EXACTLY how I felt and I remember how I felt when I took that picture..... This Time, This Time I have set myself up for success, I have invested in the best, I am committing and this time I WILL succeed! Succeed I did, I feel great, look better, I have a whole new long healthy life ahead of me and I am blessed by the people around me.

If you look at this and think "I'm ready, really ready" invest in your health, see the value in YOU and not in material things.... those things give you short term joy..... Good health gives you long term joy!
