"Oy with the poodles already!"

This weekend I weighed myself and discovered that I now weigh less than 200 pounds. It's very exciting! I lost another 2.4 pounds. Another successful week on the Gilmore Girls Diet. I'm down another "decade" officially. In the 100's. I'm very excited about this! Suddenly all of my weight-loss goals seem very realistic and achievable. My first big goal is very close: 198. I'm now at 198.8, so I fully expect to meet that goal next week. The significance of this number? I started out at 220 pounds in June. I was told to lose 10% of my weight first, and then go from there. 198 will mark 22 pound lost, or 10% total weight gone. It's a big deal to lose 10% of my fat. Very exciting! Here's all of my weight-loss goals:

1) 198 - first 10% gone!
2) 184 - no longer considered obese
3) 170
4) 154 - no longer considered overweight!
5) 135 - perfectly in the middle of my ideal BMI

It used to feel like none of these goals would ever happen. But since starting the GG Diet, it feels not only possible, but almost easy. Almost like "how did I ever let myself gain this much weight to begin with?".
