Someone asked in comments, "Why do you keep this picture (->) as a permanent pic on the top right of your site?" Obviously paraphrasing, but that was the gist...
The obvious answer is...motivation! This answer has become even more apparent as I'm reaching my goal.
When I first started this quest, the results of my work were easily recognizable and it was easy to keep focused on doing the right things...And know I'm over 4/5's to my goal and everyone is telling me how great I look and my parents are essentially trying to make me gain weight...And perhaps I would be satisfied to sit back and say 40 lbs is enough of an accomplishment...And perhaps I would let myself go back to not exercising and hitting a McDonald's or Wendy's once or twice a week...And if I put back 10 of the 40 lbs then so what? I'm still down 30 lbs, right? I think you see where I'm going with this...
So, I keep the pic up to remind me of where I came from and where I could go back to if I don't keep my focus. As I've said from the beginning (check out one of my first posts), my goal is a lifestyle transformation, not just a quick weight loss to look better for a reunion or something (although I do have my 10 year college reunion this weekend....wait till they get a look of me! :)

I am so in the same exact spot right now.... except that I don't know if I'm going to keep trying to lose or not. Either way it sucks.....
Good point my friend, good point.
