No turning back....I titled this blog this way for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that my divorce was final today. And although it is what is best for me and him it still is not easy. I hate breaking my kids' hearts this way. At times they seem to accept it and others still hurt by the whole thing. Today was hard. I had reactions I didn't expect afterwards and immediately wanted to just go eat something not on my plan because I was entitled...it was a bad moment. Easily I could have went to the first hamburger place and eaten a greasy mess then I thought Mexican food with chips and queso and all that stuff. It took me about ten minutes to get that state of mind gone. To tell myself if I could not eat those things today it would be proving to myself more that I could continue to do this. Sometimes temptation is hard to resist but proud to be able to say that I have and can.
The second reason for the title is that I finally cleaned out my closet. I decided to get rid of anything to big. Why keep it there "just in case". I don't want to turn back and need them one day. I want to continue to lose weight. So after several hours I gathered everything up. I can actually see the clothes in my closet, although I don't have too many choices really. I took a picture of what I got rid of. I don't think the picture does it justice bc it is a whole bunch of clothes. I just didn't want it there because I never want to wear them again to honest.
Current weight loss is now at 53 pounds.
You are amazing! It's so obvious how much this weight loss means to you even during all the stress periods you have had in the past several months. I have said it before, and now I will say it again. "I am so proud of you." Keep it up! There will be a big day of celebration coming where you will feel so good.
