"Oh, Mary, have you lost weight?"
"Look at you! What are you doing to lose so much weight?"
"Keep up the good work!"
But sometimes it helps for me to have a reason that I have a goal. When I started this whole journey, I told my doctor I wanted to be in the "healthy" range of the BMI. That would put me at 155 pounds. Then, when I realized what a daunting task I had given myself, I decided I wanted to be at my "wedding weight," which was roughly 185. But now, I've got my goal set--when I was a senior in high school, I weighed 183 (according to my last sports physical). So my goal is to get there by the end of the year.
I'm not sure what my goal will be after I get to this. But I know I'll be a heck of a lot healthier. I think I still want to know what it feels like to be "healthy" instead of constantly hearing from my doctor that I should think about losing weight. And who knows, maybe my body will decide its capable of making babies if I lose the extra pounds! Only time will tell -- but feel free to tell me if I'm looking good. I don't mind at all. ;-)
