Now down 150 pounds!

Hi, everyone. Much to my surprise, I still had a little weight to lose. I finally hit 130 pounds, a weight loss of 152 pounds. That was a few weeks ago, and I seem to have leveled out now.
I'm so grateful for the McDougall Program and the new life it's given me. I can eat when I'm hungry (which is often), and I love the fact that I don't have to weigh or measure anything.
I love the fact that no one from a few years ago recognizes me.
I love buying size 8 pants.
I love being able to "pass" for a normal, non-compulsive eater.
I love the fact that I no longer suffer embarrassment or shame because of my size. I have my dignity.
I love being able to move freely and effortlessly and wake up refreshed and feeling alive.
I love the mental clarity and serenity that come with this way of eating.
I love the wide variety of foods I'm eating. In the past I lived strictly on fatty fast food and meat, meat, and more meat and sugar and more sugar.
I guess I could go on and on, but mostly I'm just grateful to the God Who granted His little wayward daughter one more reprieve from compulsive eating. I hope to spend whatever time I have left in this world as a well and sane person who is capable of turning outward to others, rather than inward, always focusing on myself and my fears and obsession with food.
Ultimately, I suppose that's all any of us could ask of the gift of our lives.
