Weeks 23 & 24

Week 23: Down 1 (37.8 lbs total)
Week 24: Down 2 (39.8 lbs total)

I so wanted to hit 40!!!

This journey is easier and harder than the last time. It has been easier because I have had company along the way and I cannot emphasize enough how much better the highs are, and how much better the lows are too, when you have someone around who supports you. It has been harder because my personal life is so stressful that not turning to food for comfort is agonizing. I want to eat to feel soothed, to feel pleasure in the midst of an emotional storm. I want Carbs.

Still, I must congratulate myself on being only 11 lbs away from the birthday goal with two months to spare.
