Numbers are a funny thing. Even though you know they mean one thing, you can feel like they mean something else. Although sometimes this is a problem, in this case, it turned out to be a a serious morale boost. Even though I know it's just 24 pounds, somehow the sound of going from the 280's to the 250's is incredibly heartening. And here's the other thing: if my goal was to lose 100 pounds, this would mean I'm one quarter of the way there. Now don't misunderstand - I certainly am not planning that much in the long term just yet. However...it is fairly awesome to think about.
One more thing: a note for my precious son, whose birthday cake I skipped this weekend. When you asked me why I couldn't have any cake, I told you it was because I wanted to save it all for you. That's only partly true. What I want to save is more than the cake: it's myself, for many more of your birthdays to come. You are the reason I'm here: the reason I keep on trying every day.
