An interesting realization

Tonight (while sitting in the hot tub at the gym), I realized
something interesting. While I started this new WOE at 262 lbs., I
was somewhat heavier a few years before that, after injuring my knee
and before getting involved in exercise. The highest weight at which
I weighed myself -- about 6 years ago -- was 275. At 137.5 when I
weighed myself today at the gym, I'm exactly half of that all-time
high :-).

Wow! What an accomplishment! You should feel very proud of yourself.

More just sort of bemused, actually :-)

You must be a real rarity amongst comparable people...
Congratulations, your accomplishment is incredible. I know that if I
had to lose half of my weight, I would probably fail.

Well, you were less overweight than I, so that would require you to
get to an unhealthy weight. Apart from being unwise, I'm sure this
would be much more difficult. (And honestly, what I've done didn't
seem difficult in any sense. It's more a matter of just keeping on
keeping on :-).)

Don't you just love moments like that, when a great big light beams down on
you? : )

It was a nice thought. But it really does seem sort of incredible (in
the true sense of the word -- hard for me to believe that I was ever
that large, and hard for me to really internalize that I'm this
small).
