Compliments & Getting Closer to the "End".......

well i'm actually starting to get used to accepting compliments.....i have never been good at it but with all the attention i have been getting lately with how much i have lost and mostly in the recent last few weeks it has become really noticable i guess.....my mom was telling me yesterday that at my aunt's house the night before (i was not there) they were all talking about how great i looked at thanksgiving and since then and how much i had lost....my mother and father in law are telling me to slow down and that they didnt think i was big before....i had to dig out my 260lb picture to show my mother in law just where i started at my heaviest....she was like well i didnt see you that way, i just saw your beautiful hair and your beautiful face and your kindness on the inside...i was like well that's nice but i had a huge fat ass right in front of you too LOL....and that beautiful face was round and full like a melon.....

anyway, i'm learning to accept the compliments and comments on the positive side and just state that i have lost "X" lbs since i started and not tagging on that i still need to lose "X" lbs by the time i'm done....i am celebrating with them my successes and recognizing that every pound i lose i am losing forever....i am officially into the 190s this entire week and am not going back above 200 ever again....i'm going to continue on in this process i seem to have "figured out" - eat right, exercise, log my foods, drink my water.... AND GET down into the 180s and then the 170s and then the 160s and then the 150s and then the 140s....we'll see what happens when i get closer...i honestly didnt see a light at the end of the tunnel but now i am starting to....i think getting over the 1/2 way hump has helped....i am now on the 2nd half of my journey and it's all downhill, in a good way, from here...
