Down Update

Sometimes, you're sitting at work and you get a text message from your husband and you just start crying. 


I wish I had some profound words to write, or some catchy thing to say...but my hands are trembling and my head is racing.  7-8 months ago, Ethan said to me "I'll be happy if I just get down to 300 pounds."  It seemed like a daunting task. 

But then, today, he sent me this...









Ethan has lost 101 pounds as of today.  Take that in. Soak it up.  101 pounds.  How do you even begin to THINK about losing that much?  I guess you don't.  I guess you start with your small goals and build on them.  I guess you start by seeing small changes and progress.  I guess you let those things build your confidence so much so that you just keep going.  I guess you learn that you have more will power, fight, and perseverance than you ever thought.
