Hello everybody,
Today marks a very special and important day in my life. The day after thanks giving of last year I set on a journey to find myself again, this wasn't so much a quest to find happiness spiritually as much as it was to find myself who happened to be hidden under endless amounts of fat. I told my self that I wanted to be at 200 by aug 15th, 2007 because it was my 31st birthday. I started off with great amounts of energy and excitiment to reach this goal. I did great till the end of January when I stopped losing weight on a different diet plan. I stayed there for months and just about 2 months ago I was sad and dissapointed that I wouldn't meet my goal and that would of crushed me. I remembered years ago being on atkins and how successful I was on it, except for the fact that I did it wrong..I never drank water, which cause all kinds of craziness to my body, so I quit and gained it back. I thought long and hard about going back to this wol and to be quite honest, I was very reluctant. After battleing my own fears and demons, I decided to join, mostly because of the forum and the members that live here day in and day out. You guys have been so instrumental and have played a mojor role in my success over the last 2 months. I woke up last week under 200 pounds, first time in a very very long time. I sat on the side of my bed in tears. I did it! I did it! is what was running though my head. What seemed impossible just 6 weeks earlier was here and I was just amazed. I recall that morning in great detail, I woke up from a dream in which I stabbed a fat piece of flesh while I screamed NEVER AGAIN, I'm not sure what that dream meant, all I know is that after that dream I reached ONEderland. Odd? perhaps, but I think my body subcouciously knew that it had one one small but, very important victory. I took some time last night catch up and read the last 2 weeks of postings and I just wanted to say thanks everybody who directly or indirectly has influenced my life. My last 2 weeks have been stressful and very difficult, so many may have noticed a absence in my postings, But that will end this week as my life should comeback to normal. Ok, I'll try to stop rambling and get to my point and that is that this wol and this board has kept my motivated and has given me hope to achieve my goals of being thin and most importantly healthy. Never give up, If I did it so can you. Believe and trust yourself and in my case I trusted God as well.
Thanks veryone for helping me make my goal!
