Is it real?
I'll have to admit that I find this whole weight loss thing to be somewhat surreal.
I started this SBD journey 71 days ago not knowing what to expect. I lost weight in the first couple of weeks and figured 'yea, right'...fully expecting the weight to come right back...but...I stuck with the program and over the ensuing weeks continued to lose. Don't get me wrong I'm extremely happy about the whole thing...it just hasn't seemed real. As my clothes got too big I held on to the old ones thinking the dream would end and I would need to wear them again...but...I continued to lose...people I haven't seen for a while would comment about the loss...it felt good but it still didn't seem real...in my mind it was always 'yea, right'...
Well today for the first time IT FEELS REAL...I've lost 28lbs and for the first time I can really tell the difference...it's like waking up to a new day...I can finally see the change!
While I still have a ways to go and haven't lost nearly as much as some of the weight loss heros on these forums, I really feel that I will make my goal and beyond.
I don't post a lot, mostly in the SBD forum, but I read most of the posts on the other forums daily. All of you have inspired me, educated me, and been my companions on this journey, even if you didn't know it.
SBD Rocks.
