1 Year Working on Fat to Fab!!

Well this week hit the 1 year mark, May 21st according to this blog. It's amazing to see all that I've accomplished in just one year. When I started this blog, I don't think I had any idea of how much I would be changing and so how fast it would happen. When I look back over my progress, it's really amazing and I'm glad I can look back because somedays I feel just the same as I did on day 1 (I think it takes time for your mind to catch up with your body).

I'm about to be thinner than I've been most of my adult life and its kind of crazy for me to grasp. I've dreamed about it for so long but didn't know how I was going to make it. I realize now that I've fundamentally changed as a person. Food isn't my enemy and my goals are attainable, not just pie in the sky dreams.

Ok all that aside, my weigh in was yet again great for this week.

Weight: 265.8
lbs Lost: 60!!!!

I ran this week for the first time in YEARS! I didn't think I could do it, but then again, I hadn't tried. I do need to invest in a better sports bra for the girls. :P And some running shoes.

Anyway, this puts me 40 pounds away from goal of 100 pounds. I can't believe it. Feels like I'm gonna get there in no time at this rate. Just goes to show that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Also, you can eat ANYTHING AT ALL if you only eat a little bit of it. I guess that is the hard part, retraining yourself to eat just a LITTLE bit of anything that is really delicious. I do have "trigger" foods that make me want to gorge myself like a Roman Emperor, so I avoid those things now (like bagels, pasta, etc). I have those things maybe once or twice a month.

TRUST ME, being thin tastes soooooooo much better than any food!!!
