Milestone

So I've hit a milestone.  Wanna hear about it?  I knew you did.  I have officially lost 25 pounds!!  I'm doing a happy dance right now.  Well, not really.  But only because I'm sitting.  If I were standing, it would be on!

I'm a long way from where I want to be but I'm also a long way from where I was.  It's a little hard to believe that I've lost this amount of weight.  I have struggled for years to lose anything.  This is certainly not my first venture into the world of dieting.  But it has cleary been my most successful.  So thank you, Skinny Cow.   Thank you, Moe's.  Thank you to everyone that has encouraged me and pushed me.  Can't you just see me at the podium with my little statue--a gold scale more than likely.

Tonight we get to celebrate.  We're having PIZZA!  Ok, ok don't freak out.  It's not what your thinking.  We are having upside-down pan pizza.  It's made with ground turkey, whole grain pancake mix, veggies and some mozerella cheese.  It's actually good for you.  Go figure.  I never really thought that I would enjoy things that were healthy for me.  Now don't get me wrong, I still love the bad stuff.  The pizza from dominos, the chocolate chip cookies and all their friends.   Friends like fried chicken and macaroni and cheese and butter and....better quit.  But you get my point.  I still like those things but i know that they don't like me that much in return (or maybe they do since they like to stick around).  I don't HAVE to have them anymore. 

Twenty-five pounds later, and that feels really good to say.
