Forward Momentum

I follow a few different blogs on blogspot.com (where I also blog). Some are friends but several are other people whom I have randomly met who are facing this same journey that I am... taking off a very large amount of weight. One in particular is a gentleman who started at around 500 lbs and is now down to just above 300 lbs. He is such an inspiration! He recently posted on his blog that he was having a particularly bad week and was trying to recover without doing more damage than he had already done. He was frustrated with himself, which I could relate to. He was talking about how he wanted so badly to be under 300 lbs and he was SO close. I REALLY related to that. I did this same thing with getting past my first 25 lbs and now I seem to be doing it with 50 lbs as well (which will happen to take me under 300 also!) I am SOOOO close (2.6 lbs away from under 300 and 5lbs away from 50 lbs total). 3 weeks ago I was 1 lbs away from being under 300 and instead of knocking it out of the park, I put on 2. So here I am, SO close again and I am determined to follow through. I understand his frustration though. This maddening and hard to understand tendency to self-sabotage makes no sense to me! I am going to conquer it though. I refuse to let ANYTHING stop me... especially myself! Good for my friend for blogging even when things are going badly and I know that he and I will both beat out goals!
