I lost 1.2 this week and I have now lost 80, yes 80 pounds!!!!
I posted a few weeks ago that I was stuck on small weeks and how I was getting frustrated. Well I finally had a "big" week and lost 1.2 this week. By doing so I have now passed the 80 pound mark!!!!
If I have learned one thing over my almost 18 month journey it is that you should never give up. Each meal is a new chance to eat right. Just because you had one bad meal doesn't mean your diet is ruined. Because you can't diet. You have to be willing to make a lifestyle change. I used to never eat fruits and veggies. I lived off bagels, pizza, fried stuff, you get the idea. I still enjoy my treats now but I do so in moderation. I still have a bagel about 4 times a week, but now it's scooped out and I use ww cream cheese. I have pizza but I have one slice and will fill up on a salad with it. I have changed my life style completely. I did this with baby steps. First I joined ww and I made small goals, then I slowly started doing exercises, 15 minutes a day 3-4 times a week. Once I hit 40 pounds I amped up my workouts. I joined the gym again and started going for 20-25 minutes 3-4 times a week. At first it took me about 25 minutes to do about 2 miles on the elliptical and I was dead after it. Now I go to the gym 6-7 days a week and I do a mile in 8 minutes. I can now do 8-9 miles on the elliptical and I am currently training for a 5K.
I am sharing this with all of you to try to motivate one person. I sat there so many times thinking I can't do this. How am I going to do this? All I can say is you can't think of the big goal you have to make small changes. Whether your goal is 15 pounds, 50, 100 or more, to think of the total number is overwhelming. So don't think of the total number you have to lose. Take it one pound at a time, one day at a time, one exercise at a time and one meal at a time. And before you know it you will get to that magical number or size or physical level that you want.
