Default Great success!

Hey everyone! I have been doing really well and I didn't have anyone to share it with (my friends and family are used to my gain/lose cycle...) but then I remembered that I could share it with you guys! I've been back on track for 9 days now and I am so proud of myself. I feel so much better. My family had pizza saturday night and I stuck to two slices but I ate it slowly and actually enjoyed it instead of inhaling like I usually do. I've actually had the courage to tell myself "no"! My pregnant belly is going down and I'm feeling great! I wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys encouraging me

Motivation tip: I don't know if it'll help any of you but what's been helping me is reading other people's success stories and reminding myself that it's possible and I can do it too!

Good job girl! You're doing so good! Saying no to family is hard and not having anyone to share it with too. So I'm so glad that you can share it with us! This place has kept me going when I didn't want to.

You go girl!

It's funny how weird it can feel *not* to inhale your food. I know what you mean.

The success stories are great for motivation!

Wow, sounds like you're on a roll! (Well, metaphorically speaking... I do not want to associate you with any kind of edible rolls now that you're doing so well ). The succes stories are great. I read them often too! Especially the ones by people who had very difficult circumstances or a great deal of weight to lose inspire me a lot.

Congratulations Lady!! I know what you mean. I celebrate over losing ounces & everyone is like "that's it??" I think well, at least I lost & it's all adding up anyway! My best friend is being a butt & keeps trying to get me to take diet pills...I just so am not going down that road.

Anyhoo, so, I do the same thing! I come on here & read people's stories & look at their pictures & it is such a great motivator to get off my rumpus & do something.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

With all of my success I've been afraid to get on the scale. I've been working so hard and I'm afraid that I'll get on the scale and see that I haven't lost anything. I feel like that might discourage me...
