1. 214 this morning!
2. That means I've lost 53 pounds.
3. It also means I have 49 to go.
4. Which means I'm more than half way there.
5. And I'm in the 40's to lose - I started out needing to lose 102 pounds - then the 90's, the 80's, the 70's, the 60's, the 50's and now I'm in the 40's!!
6. I'm close enough to ONEderland to start planning my reward for weighing 199 - 15 pounds from here.  It needs to be celebratory and unique. Hmmmmmm.
7. I feel fantastic.

Every time I make a decision in support of my life plan, I confirm and strengthen my resolve to stay on my plan. It's beginning to feel automatic - like brushing my teeth. I like the fact that I'm not thinking about it very much. It opens up my brain to all sorts of other creative pursuits. I'm sorry that I spent so many years using up all that brain power on planning and regretting binges, on denying and hating my weight. But I can't change the past. I have to let all that go and focus on today - on what I can do today to ensure a happy and healthy tomorrow.
