Whoosh! 3 lbs down- and that makes 60!

So I didn't get to weigh in Friday or Saturday because I was working a horse show. Sunday afternoon when I got home I stepped on the scale to see what kind of damage I did (I didn't eat poorly at the show, but working in the stall office I just didn't get to move around much.) I was shocked to see that I weighed 193.4- that's a full 3 pounds lighter than my lowest weigh in! It also put me at 60 pounds lost since January. I'm way behind my initial goal of 10 pounds a month, but I've averaged a little over 6.5 pounds a month for 9 months and that's pretty good! It's a healthy, sustainable loss. I won't hit 100 pounds in a year, but I've done 60 already with 3 months to go. I also loss an inch off of my thigh and my upper arm this month.

I do feel better.

I'm at a size 12/14... ok, a 14, but I have a few 12s that fit. lol

I'm facing some harsh realities, and slowly accepting that losing all that weight was never going to "fix" everything else. I still struggle with self image. I still feel fat. I still am fat. I am making progress though... and I'm proud of progress.

A friend has been giving me a dozen eggs every week or two from her chickens lately, and today I'll be enjoying this salad (packed last night). Mixed greens, a packet of cranraisens and nuts, two hard boiled eggs, and some of the Newman's Light Sesame Ginger dressing if I need it. Protein, healthy fats, and lots of veggies for the win!

The packet of cranraisens and nuts I picked up at the store a while back, it was a box of them, and they are the greatest salad topping packet of all time. (It's a decent trail mix too, which is what I bought it as, but I prefer it as a salad topper.)
