On June 7th I stepped on a scale and saw a number I have never seen before ... a number so high I was in shock. I decided that day to make some changes. At the time I knew that I had a routine doctor's appointment in 5 months. I set a goal for myself, I wanted to lose 30 pounds by the appointment. Well the appointment was today and I was short by 4 pounds. My doctor wasn't disappointed, she thought I looked great and that I was doing a great job. We set up another 6 month appointment and she told me she expects to see less of me at that time.
I am grateful that I have not given up. One day at a time ... one meal at a time and one pound at a time ... I will get to my finish line!
Yes you will! Don't give up. Allow yourself some grace to slip up but just get back on track. I'm very proud of you Maura! This is a courageous battle. I'm not sure how many people understand how this illness can make it hard to get out of bed or even travel. What a fighter!
