....I weighed in this morning at 192.0 
. Not 192.2 or 192.4 or 192.6....but 192.0. YEA!!!!!!!!!
I have officially lost 20 pounds since April 14th, 2007 when I started back on the wagon at 212.0, made it to Onederland and stayed, formed an exercise habit, fought the battle (and winning) over emotional/stress eating, and although it's taken me 5 months to lose 20 pounds....I've lost over 54 inches around my body. To me, that's a good thing because I went from wearing a size 18 womens (that's 18w here in the US) to wearing a size 14/16 in Ladies (without the "w") and XL in Misses.
So if someone says, "Well, you've ONLY lost 20 pounds in 5 months.", well, yes, I have lost 20 pounds, but I've taken time and I've lost a lot of old habits and gained self esteem and pride in taking care of me because I deserve to be taken care of in order to be a healthy woman, wife, mom, and teacher.
And the best thing about losing the 20 pounds via Atkins way of eating and exercise, Atkins is a life style not a race. So, no matter how fast or slow I lose weight, I'm happy to be a
....be it in weight, inches, or old habits.
