1 day at a time

Today was 196.5.

It is always a bit of a surprise when the scale moves down a little, and so dissapointing when it stays put or moves up.

I am very happy with this eating plan. Not feeling hungry or deprived. Staying on track pretty darn good too.  I can see that 160 goal getting closer! (See December 3rd)

Really funny how much less 36.5 pounds seem to lose than 40 pounds! Also, just a very short time ago, at 221.5, it was 61.5 pounds and I could not even dare to think I could get there!  So 25 pounds since November 2nd. 58.5 from my highest weight of 255.  Pretty fantastic.

In the mean time, I am just living my life, as I should be. Just working and living and enjoying.

I watch Biggest Loser at times. One of my daughters is a big fan of Australia's Biggest Loser on Youtube.  I also have watched Extreme Weight Loss.  I am always a little shocked how they lose some weight and start wearing clothing that they would look much better not wearing.  So I am trying to be careful not to make the same mistake!

You just feel so good losing some weight! Being smaller than you were.  So in your eyes, WOW! You look great in those clothes!!!  But in reality, not yet.  But clothes are fitting better. Larger items are going to the thrift store. I don't need to buy clothes yet as I have plenty in my closet that "use to fit".

So 1 day at a time. Those days add up into weeks and months and years. Doing the right thing one day at a time will add up to a healthy weight. Just as doing the wrong thing added up to 255 pounds.

So who's day can you brighten today?
