Reality Check!!
Yes....I am losing weight. I am feeling pretty good about myself and then, pictures!!! Pictures don't lie. These pics were taken at a Halloween party Friday night. I was not the focus of them, but to me all I can see is my double chin and my fat rolls. :( They are the first thing I see. I didn't know my friend was snapping the pics so I didn't know to look down and at the camera so my double chin wouldn't show (a trick my sister taught me). I didn't know to stand up straight and suck it in. LOL These were just a reality check for me. I know I have come a long way and that I looked much worse a year ago. I probably had 3 chins then. LOL These pictures are just a reminder that I have a ways to go yet and I am not stopping until I get where I want to be. So, I will be staying OUT of the kids Halloween candy for sure!!! Oh, wait I guess you wanted to see the pics, didn't you. Well, they can't be any more embarassing then my before pictures, so here you go......

Feeling Good In My Own Skin
Today, I am feeling good in my own skin. What an AWESOME feeling!!! It has been a long time since I could say that. I feel so much better about myself. It is an amazing feeling to be able to go to my closet and pull out a pair of jeans and they are TOO BIG!!!! Wow!!! It used to be that they were too TIGHT!!! It feels so good to be able to go to the store and try on clothes and they fit the first time, and I don't have to go get a bigger size (and I don't have to shop on the PLUS side of the store)!!! I do feel good, but remember my goal is to feel FABULOUS!!! I am not stopping at good!!! I have bigger dreams than good. I have lost 64 pounds now!! I have 23 pounds to lose before I reach my goal weight. I will not stop until I get there. I have never been more determined to lose weight than I am right now. Oh, and I would like to say thank you again to those who have commented on my weight loss. Someone even whistled at me at church Sunday. LOL You are helping me stay motivated! So thank you for that!!! :)

Place Value
As a teacher, I teach students the place value of #'s. You know, the hundreds place, the tens place, the ones place, etc. For example, take the # 237. The # in the hundreds place is a 2. The # in the tens place is a 3, and the # in the ones place is a 7. Through this journey the place value of #'s has become important to me. Like when the # in the hundred's place went from a 2 to a 1. That was an accomplishment. That # will NEVER change again. Lately, I have been watching the # in the ones place go down (which is nice). But today, I watched the # in the tens place go down one #. That makes me so happy!!! As of today, I have lost 58 pounds. I am so excited. I can't wait to watch that # in the tens place go down again!!! :)

Feeling Fabulous
I have to say I am feeling much better than I have felt in a long time. The peace that I feel within myself is indescribable. I want to thank those of you who have shared your stories of similiar trials in your own lives with me. You have shown me that you can go through hard times and make it out on the other side a much stronger and happier person. Your words have been such an encouragement to me. Thank you!!
Well, I suppose I should report on my weight loss. To date, I have lost 54 pounds. I am the smallest I have been since I began my journey from Fat to Fabulous. The last several months I have been struggling with gaining some back and losing it again. Today, I feel like I am finally on the right track to reaching my goal weight. I really believe I will be there by Christmas. What a great Christmas present to give myself!!! A much healthier, happier Allison! I deserve it! :)
