100 pounds

That is right, folks!!!!!  I hit a milestone in my weight loss journey.  I have FOREVER lost 100 pounds.  I don't ever want to find it. Ever.  It is forever gone.

100 pounds.

Hard to imagine right?!?!?  What does 100 pounds actually look like?  When you are losing weight it comes off gradually.  Well 6 1/2 months is pretty fast, but still... When I look in the mirror I still can't believe it.  When I shop for clothes I hold the size XL up and can not fathom that I can wear something so small.  But I can.  SO to help illustrate this HUGE milestone in my weight loss I tried to google what 100 pounds looks like.  I was surprised by what I found.  I was AMAZED actually!

This is what a 100 pound Pumpkin looks like.....

 Still too abstract?  

Ok..... how about 

a 100 pound baby Rhino?

Or a 100 pound baby Horse????
 I tried to find a 100 pound person, but to no avail.  So I had to make do with 2  50 pound people.  
Double Take Mason!

I get tired after giving Mason a Piggy back for only a few minutes.... how on earth did my body carry the equivalent of 2 Masons around all the time???????

Here is 100 pounds of silly putty.
Imagine all of that attached to my body!


Here is perhaps the most disturbing of all the pictures.... 
100 pounds of FAT!

I am proud of my accomplishment!  I will never again carry that extra weight.  It was holding me back in ways I did not even realize.  It has freed more that just my mobility... it has freed my confidence level, my self esteem and endless other ways.  <3
