JOY

This morning I got on the scale (something I do often to remind myself to be a good eater) and what I saw gave me the best feeling. I haven't been that weight for over three and half years. I know it will fluctuate over the next few weeks, but hopefully I can get even lower than this. I really want to be back to my pre-marriage weight. (just five more pounds!) Of course then I'll just get pregnant again and I'll start all over. So you may ask, why I want to bother with those last five pounds...I just love the feeling of joy that I get when I see that I've lost weight. I don't love the less food thing, because if I had my way I would eat all the time and not gain a pound. I don't eat to fill my stomach, I eat for the sheer joy of good flavors. I just have to remind myself that if I lose the weight now, I won't have to lose as much on my next go round. Anyways.....I just wanted to share my good feelings with you, seeing as how these past few months my posts have been somewhat depressing. Just know that today is a good day!

Wow! Congratulations Laura! I'd like to get to my premarriage weight.

Yeah! Good for you. I remember how excited I was when I finally lost some unwanted pounds while I was nursing Braden. Good luck with the last five!

Woo hoo! The only reason I am below my pre-pregnancy weight now is that I only gained 10 pounds. I have NO IDEA how that happened. Otherwise, there would be much struggling to get rid of it.

Congrats!!! That's awesome! I was looking at our engagement pictures and thinking how nice it would be to weigh what I did 6 years ago. Hmm, maybe someday!

Wow congratulations Laura! I agree, the scale possesses quite the power to make or break doesn't it?! Your boys are adorable I love the story about Sam and the sunchips! HAHAHAHAHA. Doesn't Chris still do that?
