Very unfortunately, I weighed in at the highest weight I have ever been in my entire life. Oh how I fought back those tears. And when I left the meeting, I called my mother. And I cried uncontrollably. Then I called my husband, and I cried more uncontrollably.
Then I remembered something that helped me the first time I lost a bunch of weight. I took it one day at a time. One pound at a time.
It's scary thinking about how far I have to go, how much weight I have to lose to get to a 'healthy' body weight. Two hundred pounds is the number, in case you were wondering. That kind of amount makes you just want to say "SCREW IT!" and give up. But I can't. I can't give up.
So I went to the gym.
And for today, I am back on track.
And tomorrow, I will take that day as it comes to me. One day at a time.
