Goal Rewards

I feel like a new person. It's amazing what half a month of good diet does to improve you. I have energy. I'm happier. I'm less angry. I'm closer to me than I've been since illness overwhelmed me.

So, I'm thinking making 25 lbs weight loss will signify one reward that does NOT require purchase. It will be: being able to wear my wedding ring again :) I haven't been able to wear it since the first 3 months of my marriage. It's sad, but true. I've had 3 cheapo replacement rings since that time, but low quality metals & ever expanding fingers don't really mix with psoriasis & the constant hand-washing of daycare work. I quit wearing a wedding ring altogether probably about a year ago. I don't like that. Aaron hasn't taken his off since I bought it for him 6 months into our marriage & even before that not even his $20 Wal-mart ring that turned his finger green. Not wearing mine makes me feel unfaithful in a way. I want to be able to show the world ALL THE TIME how much I love my hubby. I think being able to don it again will feel like a huge mile marker for me. I'm so excited to make it to that goal!

I'm not certain what my 50 lb weight loss goal will be, but you can bet your wooden nickel that it will be both  awesome & meaningful to me. I'm liking the idea of shopping, maybe for new clothes?
