Going down …
I weighed myself Friday morning, the start of Day #11 on my weight loss plan. I was down 2.5 pounds!! Now this may not seem like a lot of weight to someone else, but to me this is HUGE. Not only am I of a certain age where weight doesn’t come off very easily, but I am also in a certain spot in my cycle where I typically gain weight. So, to be down 2.5 pounds is completely awesome by me.
As I write (late Sun night), I know I’m thinner still - though I won’t get back on the scale until week’s end. I’ve been a total slave to the scale in years past and weighing myself daily is not healthy for me. But I know I’m thinner because my clothes are no longer super tight and the little layers of flab that have been residing just below my bra and just above my waist are already shrinking. Woohoo!! I’ll be eager to see what the scale says this coming weekend. Meanwhile, I’m keeping myself right on course.
I took a sneak peak at my breakfast, as I’m very hungry at this late hour. It looks especially yummy - mushroom & asparagus scramble w/fresh berries. So I will lay my head on my pillow momentarily and look forward to eating when I wake up. Meanwhile, I’m quite happy to go to bed hungry. Psychologically, it bolsters my commitment to lose weight and makes me feel as though I’ve really accomplished something today. Silly as that may sound, it works for me.

It’s so exciting when clothes start fitting differently and you can visually see a difference. Keep it up!

Thank you!! Yes, it is very exciting. This weight loss is so showing up in my body - fat seems to be melting away, but the pounds are a little slower to come off. I don’t mind, though, b/c there is quite a noticeable difference in my entire body that several people have remarked on. Woohoo!!
