Ah yes sweet success, I lost 5 pounds in the past week and a half lol, so after being stagnant for what seemed forever I finally am moving....

but then again although this is freakin' sweet what really is striking me funny is that no matter how much I lose- there I am...

(there is a book I have that is called "no matter where you go there you are" - highly recommend reading it folks)

and essentially, no matter how much I change on the outside I am still me, loving, courageous, passionate, true to myself, loyal to those who deserve it...

this is me, I am me through all my stupid mistakes, for all my failures and all my successes, I am not perfect, I am certainly not any better than those around me...

I am humbled with each pound I lose, because it means I am losing a little bit more of the cushion, protection and such that I built around my body and I better learn to really like myself because soon that is all there is going to be...

Hey girl, I was checking out your blog yesterday and got distracted before I was able to post a comment. Good job on losing the 5 pounds that is awesome. I am in a stall myself right now. I am so close to getting under 200 but my body is holding on the fat for dear life...ugh!

Congrats!!!
