Having one of those days
Well my day started out like always, I got up and went to the bathroom first thing like always, then weighed myself, 213 same as yesterday. I try really hard not to weigh everyday but this is the least I have weighed in 3 years so I had to make sure yesterday wasn't a fluke. Well anyway on with my story, I did my workout-tae bo, I love tae bo, worked my butt off for 30 minutes then off to the shower. At this point everything is still going good, just a little pooped from exersizing. After my shower I decided, I'v lost 18 pounds it should be showing by now, so I stand naked in front of the mirror. I wasn't expecting a miracle but it was still very heartbreaking to see the same fat hanging there that was there a month ago. My pants are getting loser and my husband says he can see a difference so why can't I. I mean I have noticed my face dont' look as puffy and my rings fit better but I want more for my effort. I haven't had any pop in a month, its been even longer since my last Hershey's bar(my favorite)-don't worry, I actually dont' miss them. I just want to see some results for all I have done and given up. The good news, I didn't indulge in food to make myself feel better, even though the peanut butter toast that I fixed my girls for breakfast looked so good. I'm not even sure why I wrote all of this, maybe just to vent. I do feel so much better now. Thanks for listening all. Maybe my afternoon will go better now.

Seriously though, it is hard for us to see a difference because we look at our bodies every day. We change so little from day to day that it is really difficult to see the longer-term progress. I always have that same feeling, my bf gets mad because I'm always saying things like "I lost 40 pounds, why am I still fat?" It helps to look at photos of yourself from before and current too, where the difference is more obvious.
