Ben @ Ben Does Life said it best on 11/29...
When things go bad... and when things go good...
go read it.

I've been crying on and off the past 4 days -- the emotional magnitude of what it means to have lost 100 lbs... it is huge. And I'm really slow at processing. And even slower putting words to the emotions that I have no words for... difficult to express oneself when no words can be found. So, tears let it out in the meantime -- most are happy, some I think are grief and regret... but those are short-lived, and the feeling of being ON the mountaintop returns and erases the old crap thinking/feeling, and a certainty of validation in myself that it is possible, and certainly if *I* can do it -- this thing is possible.
Totally, incredibly, challengingly possible.
48 more to go. Still a bit of a climb, but wonderfully possible.
End-of-Tunnel Light -- straight up ahead.

ETA: Nothing is done alone. I couldn't have done this alone. Life is about helping each other... Relationship.
I'm without-words grateful to my step-father & mom for making this financially possible, my own himself for being supportive both emotionally and financially as well.
