  • As of today, I've hit 25 pounds lost, since I started in the beginning of December.

    It's weird, because it seems like a lot - especially for a pretty short person - but it seems that everyone else notices but me. I keep throwing clothes into the 'Goodwill box', but I don't feel like I look any thinner yet. I think that another reason that it feels like it isn't real (and I feel bad saying this) is that it really hasn't been that hard for me yet. I just count calories and go on hikes, and play with the Wii for the most part. It's like I feel like it isn't legitimate because I don't feel like I've worked that hard. I'm never hungry, and I'm very rarely sore from exercise.

    I'm not sure if I'm going to stick with my goal weight, or if I'll want to be a little bit lower. I'll have to ask the doctor what she thinks when I get closer.

    Despite feeling like it hasn't been hard or made that much of a difference, I'm getting myself a reward. (Because it's not like my scale, the wii fit, my too large clothes and my friends and family are lying to me.) I ordered an enormous beanbag, which I am so excited about. I've wanted one for years, and I just moved into a new house. I hope I'm not misremembering how comfortable the one I sat in before was, but I'm going to live in this beanbag chair when it gets here...except for exercising, of course. But I will sleep in it, at least for a few days anyway.

    Im sure you don't notice because its your body and you have to look at it every day so the little changes that over time add up to the big picture don't seem very noticeable. . .if you get what Im saying. lol.
