So, I have not posted any updates on my weight loss recently. I haven't given up, and I have been staying on track. I have now lost 36 pounds in over the last 10 weeks. Not a bad total number to date. There have been times where it has been sooooo tempting to throw in the towel and make bad decisions, but I have been able to stay strong. I made it through "Fall Birthday Season", where I had 6 birthday parties to attend in 4 weeks. My ability to say "no" to the "bad" stuff (cake, ice cream, cookies, chips, fried stuff) has suprised even me. I am finding it hard to keep my pants from falling down all the time!
I am more than halfway to my vacation weight loss goal, which is 60 pounds. I have found that by setting small loss goals, that it is easier to accomplish. I generally make a goal to lose a specific amount by a specific time (I have almost reached my first goal- 38 pounds by Thanksgiving). I do have other goals in mind that are much smaller and much more attainable that I will work on when I reach my first goal. I have symbolic weight numbers that I am using to set my goals, and that helps as well.
I think this may be the start of something good, and I will periodically post updates!
