I had a plan for a post today, but then I started catching up on weight loss blog reading. I came across this over at 266 and I found it so inspiring that I had to change plans and share this with you instead.
She, 266, wrote an amazing post called What A Difference A Year Makes and ends it with this comment:
“I went and had that dessert… I engaged in the patterns that got me to my biggest state within minutes of discovering how far gone I really was. It took me another four months to really get serious about this journey; before that I stumbled more times than I can count. I get how hard this is and I understand that we are all fighting lifetimes of habits and emotions and circumstances. But, I have to ask… Where could you be next year?”
I left a comment on her post that my original goal was to buy a dress for my husband’s graduation in May 2011 that was NOT from the women’s department. And each small victory and pound of weight lost I find myself imaging that the dress could possibly end up being smaller than I ever dreamed.
That, my friends, is where I could be next year. 🙂
My New Ending

And yes a year makes a big difference if you keep believing!

Oh yeah – we're talking WAY out of the womens department!!!! Some time you'll have to take your inches measurement and then see how far you've already come!!!!

Yes! I have enjoyed watching 266's progress as well. And yours.
And you are right, I think that dress will be smaller than you ever dreamed possible.
