Welcome to One-derland

I recently posted about my struggle with my weight, my eating disorder, and my health. Opening up to you all and posting that on the Internet was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I felt naked. I felt so open and vulnerable. I felt out of control. And that’s scary for me. Very scary.

Well now I want to share in a success I’ve had since that original post…

Anyone who watches the TV show The Biggest Loser will be familiar with the term “one-derland.” Onederland is what happens when you break the 200 pound barrier and have a 1 in front of your weight.

It’s been over 5 years since I was in Onederland. And I’m finally there again.

I almost cried when I saw that number on the scale.

This journey has been so hard. And has tried my patience and self control. It has taught me a lot about myself.

Having to wait for the results I want, to be healthy in my weight loss, has been torture. But I know it will be worth it when I can keep the weight off and not fall back into my yoyo unhealthy habits.

So I’m giving myself a little pat on the back and saying welcome to onederland. Enjoy it. Be happy. Keep going. Just breathe.
