Losing It

I think weight loss must all be about mind set. I’ve thought about “dieting” for a few years now. But honestly I couldn’t reach the point mentally where I was ready. I feel I have reached that point. Honestly the last two weeks have been easy. I committed to this and I feel like I can do it. I’ve been trying to eat 6 times a day. Always eating something right after I get up. I’m having healthy snacks and low calorie meals for the most part. I’ve survived dining out. I don’t regret NOT eating anything. I mean typically I would have eaten tons of sweets in two weeks time. I would have eaten ice cream and cookies every night, brownies for breakfast, lots of fast food; I would have bought apple turnovers at the grocery and eaten 4 in a sitting…and you know what….no part of me it thinking, as I sit here Friday morning, that I wish I had eaten all that junk. I’ve learned some other really valuable skills which I’ll share soon. And by the way I am down over 10 pounds. Now I know that won’t continue to happen. I know that I will eventually have to work for my weight loss but I suspected these first 15 or 20 pounds would come off easily. Why? Because my body was so over weight that it almost “wants” to drop some of this weigh quickly. I’m seeing numbers on the scale that I haven’t seen in over a year and I am so excited. On the other hand I doubt anyne will begine to "see" a change in my body until I lose 30 pounds or more. That's the weird thing about my body...I can lose 30 pounds and still wear the same size pants.
