It's funny sometimes to feel like I'm not doing enough to lose weight and then I step on the scale and it's still moving down down down.
I realized today that maybe it doesn't feel like I'm doing much because I'm doing what is habit. People wonder how long it's taken me to lose the weight. I used to feel ashamed, in a way, to say it's been 23 months (or however long it had been at that point). Ashamed, because they might wonder what took so long. I've always known, though, that I'm taking the time I need to change. Change not just my weight, but my eating habits, my physical strength, my vision of my body and my thought processes. So today as I stood on the scale, feeling like I could have done more this week, I realized that I didn't need to do more because I did what was right.
This week's weigh-in? 173.5 pounds. That's 106.3 down and just 33.7 between me and my goal.
Rock on!!!
ReplyDeleteCrash diets don't usually work, right? It seems like you're doing it the right way - losing weight due to healthy life choices and lots of hard work. Many people could never do what you've done so far! And making habits is key. The diets where you pay for meals to arrive at your home crack me up, because that doesn't help you make sustainable changes.
