So I did lose 40lbs after all, it just took me almost twice as long as I planned.
As with most things in life, this achievement is anti-climactic. For some reason I thought that if I lost the weight, I would transform into Megan Fox, like I was this beauty disguised as a fat person.
Nope, still me.
My current short term goal is to lose another 5lbs before my high school reunion in January 2016.
At 6 weeks away, this would have been an easy task, except the three weeks leading up to the homecoming are the holidays. Just maintaining my current weight will be a challenge.
