Grapes are so good. Why don’t I buy them all the time?? Also, just rediscovered the fun of peeling them with my teeth.

Since December 5, 2012 I’ve lost 11 pounds. Some people would be discouraged with ONLY 11 pounds lost in 7 weeks. However, I’m ecstatic. The smallest amount I’ve lost in a week was .5 pounds. That was a bit discouraging but the next week I lost 2.
The reason for being so happy about this is because I know this time it’s forever. They say slow and steady wins the race. I totally believe this. Instead of making drastic changes to my eating habits and being on a diet, I’m changing the way I live and the way I view food. This time it’s a lifestyle change.
For the first time in my life I’m actually counting calories and not depriving myself from the food I love. I just can’t eat more than a certain amount of calories in a day and sometimes I struggle to reach my calorie intake even though I eat a lot. It’s the type of food that helps.
I’m also celebrating the small victories and looking at what I’ve accomplished, instead of looking at how much more I have to lose. My face looks thinner; my clothes aren’t skin tight; some clothes don’t fit because they are too BIG.
Making 5 pound goals is helping. Each time the number on the scale ends with a 0 or 5 I’ve reached that goal. Right now I’m .2 pounds from my next goal…so close!!! I know how much I have to reach my ending goal but I’m not obsessed with it. Yes, I have 55 pounds to go but that number doesn’t freak me out. Especially when I realize that just 7 weeks ago I had 66 pounds to lose.
