This has been a super slow weight loss month, that is not what I'm here to celebrate. This morning it dawned on me that I have lost 43.5lbs, 30.5 inches and 11% of my excess body fat, why am I worrying about losing LESS this month than last?!!?

I realized that I need to take a moment to reflect on what I have accomplished, not what I have left to lose. I also realized that I am me at 250 or at 150, and that I am beautiful no matter what the scale says.

So what I'm here to declare a success was not a battle over my waist line or my hip measurements, but over my mind which in reality is far more of an enemy than anything else.

Congratulations! That's the hardest battle of all to win.
