Hello Friends,
Friday made 7 months on my new journey with living healthy. Reflecting back I have made some great progress and can really say I am proud of myself. For starters just still being here and wanting to remain successful and healthy is an amazing feeling in itself. Like all of us, I have been on so many different diets in the past that have not been effective in the long run, and that I have fallen off after a very short period of time. Secondly, I surely have had to dig deep especially the past few months during my 3 month plateau, and ven now my slow but steady
weight loss. I have learned to be able to tell the difference between eating out of habit, boredem, excitement as compared to truly just eating when I am hungry. This is a triumph for me!! Adding excercise , and adjusting my meals and really analyzing what I am ingesting to break my plateau was tough but boy did it teach my a lesson that I am still working on PATIENCE. Last weeks weigh in I gained .4lbs, I drank alot over the holiday break, and this week despite losing that 0.4lbs I did excercise 4 days this week but it was New Years and again I drank with friends and family. So I am willing to accept it, but would be lying if I say I was not disappointed and not losing more after so much activity this week. BUT onward and forward one day at a time. I physically feel amazing, I mentally am stronger than I was when I started and I feel empowered! I would not have been able to do it without the support of this wonderful site and all the wonderful friends I have made. So thank you! Here's to another 28 successful weeks.
