Okay guys, I couldn't hold back any longer. When I got off the scale today, I cried. Tears of joy! F-I-N-A-L-L-Y...One-derland!!!
197!!!

WaaaHooooo!!! Oh my goodness! I haven't seen the 100's in THREE years (and even then it was 187...for about 5 seconds)! This is far too much!!! What a moment! Geeeze-Oh-Wee...I am sooooo incredibly HAPPY!!!

This has been Such an emotional roller-coaster month for me with my family (outside of my house). Even more so than usual. You know how it is...in every generation, there seems to be One person among the siblings who bears the brunt of Everyone's drama. The one who's 'looked upon' to solve every problem (with a smile on their face). Well, that person is me. It's been especially draining this month with my mom being so happy that I (once again, as always, & single-handedly) handled her 'urgent' business affairs from 1000 miles away...and now She, and the rest of my siblings, are so 'relieved'.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not walking around with a V (for Victim) on my forehead...I LOVE my family and will do ANYTHING for my mom. We really are a close-knit family (though we're in many different states across the country), but sometimes Their drama leaves me no time to handle my own. It's a heavy load and often overwhelming. THEY only have ONE monkey on Their backs, but for Me....my monkeys have monkeys! LOL Dang-it!

All of this increased pressure has been a major reason that I've been so focused on my weight-loss efforts. It's the ONE thing I know I can control (with the proper discipline)....not to mention the all-important stress-relief just to Try to keep my health in check!
It's why I'm so dog-gone Elated with every little thing I'm accomplishing! {{{cheeeze}}} :-)

So, today I'm feeling Especially Joyful that I've done something for ME!!! This is the true reason behind the tears...not some numbers on a scale, but rather, what those numbers represent. That through it all....I've reached another personal milestone along my journey....and I ain't Done Yet!!! ;-) The Best is on it's way!!!

HIP-HIP-HOORAYYYY!!! I've {{{shimmied}}} across the line into Boogie One-derland...and it feels GREAT!!!

Thank you guys so much for your continued support! My family is an AWESOME support system, but it's so good to be able to come on-site and chat with others who can relate to 'the struggle'. :-)

I don't want to 'carry on' like I'm accepting an Academy Award or something...LOL...but just know that I luv you guys to pieces!!!
And right now, I'm collectively squeeeezing all of you for a
BIG }}}}group hug{{{{
:-)
You're simply the BEST!!!
Have a HAPPY & One-derful Day! :-)
