Taking A Big Step Forward

One of the issues I wanted to tackle when I left school behind was dealing with my weight. For a couple weeks Saturday Morning and I were taking SlimQuick, one of those weight loss supplements specifically geared toward to women. We had some success, but decided to enroll in Weight Watchers with mom and actually attend meetings. Four weeks in to the meetings we are all doing well. I was sitting here thinking I must be doing well because I just ate dinner and am already hungry again! That said, I am starting to feel the effects of a combined six weeks of dieting efforts. Walking around the grocery store tonight buying only things I need and things that are healthy for me felt really good, mentally and physically. Walking has gotten so much easier with only 13 pounds lost. It has made such a difference having Saturday Morning and mom to commiserate with and support each other. For them this is a hard change, but for me I feel like its overcoming an entire lifetime of habits and psychological barriers. Like yesterday, my old habits would have had me at McDonald's getting lunch when I had plenty of food at home. Fast food is pretty much my Nemesis. I was so incredibly proud of myself for not stopping. It puts me one decision closer to victory over a lifelong obstacle. Today was another victorious day, here's hoping for another one tomorrow! Every victorious day puts me one day closer....to everything!
