This morning I woke up and was reading through Facebook updates where people were asking what your New Year's Resolutions were and had a revelation. This is the first year where I'm not staring down the barrel of "dieting and loosing weight". I almost started to cry! The pressure to diet and loose weight every year and failing and trying again and again every year was so unbelievable! Even as I write this my heart flutters a little at the thought that I'm not standing at the bottom of a hole looking up and wondering how the heck I'm going to get out of it. (that's how I used to feel when I knew I had 100 pounds to loose.)
Don't get me wrong. At the top of my list is to continue to eat right and keep up the exercises but that is so much easier to do now then it was before. Now I enjoy it! I'm one of those people I used to hate!!
I just jumped on the scale this morning after a night of grazing on veggies, chips & dip expecting a little gain and was pleasantly surprised to find I had hit another mini-milestone. 90 pounds lost. 1 month, 1 week & 4 days to loose 10 pounds before Hawaii. (My goal was to loose 100 pounds before our trip.)
So now that I am finally happy with my body what do I do for New Year's Resolutions??
1. Keep up eating right
2. Keep up exercises
3. Read all the books assigned for book club
4. Try not to be an "over-poster" on Facebook
Thank you again to Dr. Todd and his staff for giving me the tools to meet my goals. Thank you friends and family for your continued support! Happy New Year to everyone!!
