Last Tuesday of the year!

Morning weigh-in: 190

I am ever so slowly inching downward. It feels like it's taking forever but I know this is the best way to do it. Also I can tell every day that I'm healthier and stronger. I like being at the wellness center and I don't miss over-eating too badly most days.

Yesterday I read this woman's blog-- "101 reasons I hate being fat," she started out a lot bigger than me (300+!) but there was a lot of truth in some of her reasons. Some I couldn't relate to because quite frankly, thought I've been obese, I've never been that big. But some of the stuff-- being ashamed to go to the beach, not ever wanting to wear sleveless anythings, feeling like people are staring at you, being the fattest girl in the room-- I've been there and it absolutely sucks.

But here I am. That's why I'm down 17.5 pounds from my high point, because I don't like it, it's not healthy, and my life is changing.
