Last week I felt so discouraged when I held steady with a 0 weight loss after four straight weeks of substantial losses. You may recall that the fat chick in the photo was ready to pig out on chips and dip in frustration. I am so glad I ignored her and kept myself on track food-wise because when I stepped on the scale today I was down 5 pounds. This was a big confidence boost.
I'm up to a total of 30 pounds lost now! That means I get to go shopping. Every 10 pounds I'll be buying something just for me. After the first 10 pounds I got my hair coloured. I forgot (can you believe that?) to buy myself a 20-pound gift so now I’m due two me-gifts (one for 20lbs and one for 30lbs.) I know what I'm going to get and I'll post photos soon.
Leigh, that is fantastic! 30 pounds is a real accomplishment! Isn't is amazing how quick we are to let that damn scale dictate the course of our day? Or life? It is not easy to simply trust that our body is doing what it's supposed to do when we feed it the right foods and give ourselves the care we deserve. The scale doesn't always tell us that. You are an inspiration.(and thank you thank you, for being my first follower!!!)
