Actually, I am 1 lb under at 149. I won't lie, I was in shock when I saw those numbers on the scale. I cannot remember the last time I weighed in the 140's although I would have to guess I was in my teens. I was frozen, naked, on the scale. Total disbelief that I actually did it. I got off the scale, back on, off, back on. Very surreal moment in my life. I even cried.
My first thought was that more than anything, I wished my dad was here because I so wanted to call him and tell him that I did it. He has been gone more than a year and I still can't believe how much it hurts that I can't share things with him anymore. He was so supportive of all my efforts to lose this weight...I would give anything to be able to tell him. Oh well, I guess I just have to keep believing that he knows and is proud of me.
My whole family is meeting up in Duck, NC on the Outer Banks in a week so I will be sure to take pictures as I don't have any pics of me taken since I've lost the last 20 lbs.
I also want to thank EVERYONE for all the support that I get here....it blows my mind all the wonderful friendships that have come from these blogs and I am so looking forward to seeing many of you next month in Chicago. Those that aren't going will just have to come to FL at some point to visit!
That's it for now as I am really feeling very emotional and can't see through my tears.
