week 9: half way there!!!

first let me say i hate to be the debbie downer that i was in my last update. i'm not that person. and i strive to not be that person. however we all do have our down moments, but right now i'm moving in the direction i want and i feel that i'll definitely be having more positive moments than negative.
now for the big news and some of the numbers. the big news is that i have officially crossed my half way point! when i first started this journey the big goal was to lose 120 pounds. and when this journey comes to an end that will be the end result. as of today i have lost a total of 63 pounds, 23 of those pounds on this slimgenics program. so technically i'm more than half way to my goal. with that said, i'm ecstatic! i haven't been able to sleep i'm so flippin' excited, tossing and turning about what the next few months will bring. plus this week is my biggest weight loss with 8 pounds lost! it still seems surreal that all of this is happening.
i had a turning point this week that focused all of my attention on what it is i ate. a light bulb went off inside of my head and my mental being convinced my physical being that i can do this.
last night a friend came over and i did some shopping in my closet.
along with losing these 63 pounds, this coming week i'll cross another big threshold. i'll be the thinnest i remember being in my adult life. i have 3 more pounds to lose and every number after that will be a number i have never been. ....well i have, i just don't remember. i've been one of those over weight people, who have always been over weight. so i don't know what it is like. even now, i feel like i'm starting to look "normal" and it's weird. but i am most definitely looking forward to seeing the numbers continue to decrease, and crossing that line in uncharted territory.
anyways, this friend came over and i decided to go shopping in my closet. i got rid of a bunch of clothes, and found that i easily fit into clothes that i haven't worn for the past 5 years. it was great to have her there and hear her say "yeah, that's waaaaay too big for you." although i will admit that some of the stuff i got rid of is pretty cute, and i was sad to see it go. but, i have a feeling i'll get over it. :)
although this journey is still a struggle, and is still super hard, i can see a clearer picture of this plan becoming a way of life. and the sooner that picture becomes completely clear the easier this plan will be created as a way of life.
