fifty pounds

Three years ago I weighed 49 pounds more than I do now. Last night, while I was looking for pictures of my exs I came across a few from that time and I cant believe I ever looked like that. It has taken me three years, two babies and the removal of an organ to lose what I have lost. To make it to 160 was not my immediate goal this time around but it was my goal back then. What a wonderful feeling to know that even though my body has been through a lot of changes and the weight was very slow to come off, it still has. So now that I am down to 1 lb to go before I hit this major milestone Im thinking of ways to celebrate. I haven't done any of those weekly gifts to myself since I moved so I may just pull one of them out but Im not sure. This is a big deal and I want to make the most out of it while recognizing that I still have another 20lbs to go to hit my target weight. Any ideas?

    I think I might do cute shoes or a cute purse or a fun hair color.

    New clothes are fun to buy when you hit weightloss goals.

    WOW!!! That is huge!!! How wonderful that even with all the stress in your life you've still been able to manage such a milestone! Hooray for you!

    I think this calls for something important. Maybe a new pair of jeans and a shirt that show off your new self? You could even get them at a consignment shop, if you wanted,to save some money but still get something new to you.

    Just wanted to say congratulations. That is quite the accomplishment... one that calls for a nice reward like a new hairstyle or new clothes.
