2 steps forward, no steps back

As of today, I reached my weight loss goal (pre-surgery).  I have lost a total of 60 lbs.  I can't believe that I have done so well.  I am so proud of myself.  I still have another week and a half on this pre-surgery diet so I will be interested to see how much more weight I lose in that time.  I lost 6 lbs. since last Thursday.  I am pushing myself harder in the gym (or at least I feel like I am).  I also got news on the situation with Chris.  They have decided that they will give him credit for the 2 years that he was on my insurance from 2004-2006 and add it to the amount of time he has been on it this year.  He still has to be on it for 3 years which makes it November 7 before he can have his surgery but we are thankful that he is going to get to have his surgery this year and not have to wait 3 years to do it.  We accept that this is God's will and his plan.  Needless to say today has been a good day.  I do have to admit something though!  I ran through McDonalds tonight to get the kids something to eat and just couldn't take it anymore.  I gave in and had a cheeseburger and 3 french fries.  I knew that I could not eat chicken 1 more time and I had been craving a burger since I started this pre-surgery diet.  I gave in.  It was so good too and I don't regret it one bit.  Six months ago it would have been a Big Mac combo with an apple pie.  Today is was just a regular cheeseburger and 3 french fries.  My craving has been satisfied and I feel better.  No regrets!
