100 in 9? I didn’t need 9 months. I only needed 8. Today I weighed in at 224.6 pounds, bringing my weight loss total over the century mark. 102.4 pounds. You know, I was expecting some deep revelation, some soul defining moment. Then it dawned on me, the last eight months were the soul defining moments. The journey was the reward, the destination was just icing on the cake.
I guess I was expecting some sort of deep revelation, or jumping for joy. Perhaps, I’m just humbled by the experience that the last eight months has brought me. I don’t want to muddle it with words. I’ll just leave you with this, you can do anything you put your mind to, I’m living proof of that. When I made this decision eight months ago, I know some people balked at my goal, perhaps even some didn’t think it was possible, but I was reminded often by what my mother told me at the time, “if anyone is going to be able to do this, Richard, it’s you.”
I’d like to sit here and thank everyone who made it possible to do it, but…there’s too many to list. So, I’ll just say this, thank you all for your support. It really did mean a lot to me, even if it was hard to believe I’d do it in the beginning.
