I am not ashamed to admit that I almost cried when I weighed today for the first time in about 45 days. I finally broke through the 300lb mark. I now weigh less than I did in high school. I also have reached the 100 pounds lost milestone.

I cannot overstate how different my life is now. I am wearing clothes that are like 5 years old that I shoved them to the back of the closet in disgust when I out grew them.

I smile. A lot. I walk the stairs without being out of breath. I can take a bath and actually have room between my sides and the tub. I am finally moving through this world with the elusive confidence that I should have always had but couldn't find.

I cannot wait to see the shocked looks on peoples faces when I go home for the holidays.

I still have a long way to go, but for the first time I really believe I will get there.

Sorry for tooting my own horn but man I feel great today.
