How crazy is that? I am now 100 pounds lighter than my highest weight. One hundred pounds!

It’s hard to wrap my head around that much weight. It’s hard to imagine that I used to carry that around with me everywhere I went.

It’s also hard to remember what 327 looked and felt like. When I look at photos of myself from that time I don’t feel much different. I’m still obese (such an ugly word), and I still have a long way to go. Day to day, I still think I look like that 327 pound girl.

But I don’t. When I put photos side-by-side I see that I don’t. It’s going to take my brain a long time to catch up to my body, though, and create a new self image.

On another note, I just got back from a 10 day vacation, during which time I continued to lose weight. It feels good to know that I can still make good decisions while traveling. I did indulge in cookies and a bite of fudge here or there, but I also ate protein bars and chicken regularly and said no to cherry pie and ice-cream. I feel good.
