That is where I am at. Just tiny, itty bitty steps. I have a goal of when I want this weight gone. I am completely serious about it, and I am having to remind myself every day when the cravings hit.
It has been a little over a week of this daily reminder, and daily knee hitting, asking for strength.
Today it paid off. 1/2 pound. In a week. Still it is there, and going down in the right direction.
My goal for right now is to hit 190. Wow, to actually weight 190 seems so daunting, but I am only a few pounds away. I think literally biting off this huge number of weight into little bits is going to be the only way I can get through this. Down 5 lbs at a time, slowly chipping away at it. I think it was Becca who suggested doing little goals. (I can't remember who said it, but IT HELPS!)
SO, after 190, it will be 185, etc, etc.
Like Nakia, I am having a hard time deciding what my 'treat' should be when I hit 190. I keep hoping that it will be that I can try on a pair of pants I have hidden in a tote and they will magically fit, so that I can add to my wardrobe. I just need to psych myself up that they may not fit, and that is okay.
We'll see. For now, still on the journey to 190. 193...192...191...190...

GREAT POST! and a reminder I needed myself! You are awesome KIM! :)
you can do it!
Kim,
I found your site through a comment on my good friend Stephanie's blog and burst into tears as I started pouring through your posts. It was like looking in a mirror.
I too am fighting both weight and depression on a daily basis, battling that dreaded 200 that I hit this past summer. I've been mortified to admit to something that causes me so much shame and yet I know that as long as I don't just accept it and love myself anyways, I will continue drown in depression and put on weight.
But this week I got to the gym 4 times and each time I told myself I am worth it, I can do hard things and I am never giving up. This was a good week. I don't know that they'll all be like this but I'm going to remember this one when I'm feeling down. Remember that I did it and I can do it again.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for sharing your experiences and feelings with such sweet honesty. It was exactly what I needed to hear.
Best,
Lauren Horsley
HOORAY for 1/2 pound! Maybe next week you will lose more, maybe you will loose less, but you are doing it!
Good for you, Kim! Because I am so overweight and I have no goals, just gaining and gaining more and more!
I seriously LOVE YOU KIM! Honestly... you are one of the most wonderful humans I have come in contact with. And I find you to be so beautiful just as you are. I hope you see that too.
