It's because I'm SO close and yet the remains of obesity-past is still there. It's because we're facing our weaknesses, confronting them in the most aggressive way possible (crossfit and paleo YAY!). It's because now I am AWARE of my body's weaknesses and jelly-deposits, so I want them gone today. <br /><br />Just breathe, walk away from the mirror and push forward. Enjoy your meals because they are tasty and the WODs because (in some sick fashion) they're fun. One day we'll be staring directly at the finish line :DEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889928951747986297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751456646637083769.post-29482420725731906142011-04-15T12:18:15.644-05:002011-04-15T12:18:15.644-05:00Also, lady, don't forget that the 16 lbs of sc...Also, lady, don't forget that the 16 lbs of scale weight you lost includes muscle you have BUILT aka strength gained. You will keep making so much progress if you give it time!<br /><br />PS: In the spirit of inspiration, I wanted to link you to a before and after of my friend Rosemary after 6 months of CF and Paleo. She looks AMAZING in this picture and she's progressed even more since then. I know it's hard especially when these workouts are so grueling and it seems like you'll never see the effects, but you will. So keep it up girl!<br /><br />http://crossfittribe.com/2010/04/25/rosemarys-transformation-in-6-months/Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08018944910803381143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751456646637083769.post-90240967444074457802011-04-15T10:41:44.384-05:002011-04-15T10:41:44.384-05:0016lb is AWESOME Bethany!

Always remember that gaining the weight didn't happen overnight, or even in 30 days. And some days are always going to be more difficult than others. You should always remember, though, to give yourself credit for the accomplishments you have made. YOU CAN DO IT!!! <br /><br />That show is always emotional for me too. <br /><br />And hey, thanks to your inspiration I dragged Z's high chair into the kitchen yesterday and made her and our healthy, preservative-free, dinner while she watched and snacked on a healthy banana.zozosmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705109253968100732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751456646637083769.post-90115484610982678132011-04-15T07:07:49.454-05:002011-04-15T07:07:49.454-05:00B,
