Ok, maybe that quote is a little too new to use in my journey to a healthier weight but I do feel a lot better!
So far, I am down 70lbs from this time last year! Woohoo! I am back in my smaller clothes, you know the ones I kept in the drawers and the closet in the hope of getting myself back into them someday. Well, someday is today.
I move better - I can do some of my yoga and stretching moves more fluidly - deeper bends, lifting myself higher, arching my back more, reaching out to hold my toes and ankles and holding them for minutes. (Also, sex is MUCH better - more energy, more flexibility - I won't say more that's telling TMI but try it, you'll like it!)
I still have a long way to go, exactly 99lbs or 99 problems as the song says but I feel better about getting there.
And a huge bonus, for years, I had suffered from PCOS. My gyn years back had asked me to try and get my weight down to a level as she believed that it would reverse/halt if I did. As I get closer to that level (50lbs from it now), I see she was right - my cycle has returned!
