My weightloss has slowed down a lot from what I am used to. I've been feeling a bit crap about my small losses then it dawned on me, today is the day I have officially lost 70 pounds. SEVENTY.
I remember the times where I'd just begun, at 202lbs and morbidly obese, when I'd tell my family and friends I was aiming to be 125 pounds. They all said the same, my target was unrealistic and I should aim more for something like 150 pounds. I knew I was capable of much more, here I am 70 pounds later and still going.
I won't ever allow other people's expectations of themselves and limitations to become an obstacle in my journey. I know that I am capable of anything I put my mind to and them saying "that's unrealistic, you'll only disappoint yourself" spurs me even more to prove it's all in the mind, believing you can do it is half the battle.
