Sing it Loud and Proud

Today’s the day I can officially say it:

I’VE LOST 20 POUNDS!!

I’m so proud of myself I want to scream it from the roof so everyone can hear me. I feel better, I look better, and perhaps most importantly, I actually feel like I look better. What a great feeling to be accomplishing something I’ve wanted for as long as I can remember! I’m so lucky to have the most loving, supportive people surrounding me, and that really helps make it easier… not to say it’s been easy, though! My journey so far has definitely been difficult, but each day closer to my goal gets less and less so. Thinking things like “I’m not on a diet, I have a new way of eating” has helped quite a bit… because essentially, that’s what it is. I’ve cut out the bad things and replaced them with good things. And I’m learning that the good things really aren’t that bad. :]

Now that I’m starting to see visible results, I’m more motivated than ever to continue. If I feel this good after losing 20 lbs, imagine how great I’ll feel after losing another 20! And then another! My confidence level has already increased at least 10 fold, and it’s only going to get better. I haven’t felt this great about myself in the longest time!

Way to go, me! Take yourself out for something nice, you deserve it!
