Weight Loss Goal Met.

Hi.  I'm officially less fat today than I was yesterday.

But you know what?  I can't really see it.  It's 20 pounds!  That's like 3 small newborn babies.  You would think that it would be evident I had lost that much. It's not.  I still feel fat as ever.  SO..  I think it really must be all in my head this time.  That whole "the first step is admitting you have a problem" saying is right.  I'm there.  I know that my perception of myself is skewed.   I'm working on it but I really don't have a clue what I am doing.  No clue other than that I've begun to tell myself to shut up if that little voice in my ear gets loud and negative.

Reward Day!

I randomly decided to weigh myself even though I'm not at the 2 week mark until Monday.
Look what I saw:

That's right!  Five pounds gone already.  I'm excited! I'm 12 days in and already have lost 10% of my total goal.  I know, I know, the first few weigh-ins are probably mostly lost water weight.  But at least it's water weight not on my body any more.

My wonderful husband is completely supporting my weight loss and has even started liking some of the healthier dishes I prepare.  He's willing to make his pants fit a little more on the loose side and we take Saturday off from the diet (within reason) so he really doesn't have any complaints.  In celebration of losing my first 5 pounds, we went to World Market where my wonderful husband got me the perfect reward for losing those five pounds.

So tonight, I will be enjoying my mini, personal bottle of Asti with a single serving of hazelnut chocolate before crawling into a bath.  Not a diet breaker but definitely not something I have every day or even so far this year.  If sparkling wine and chocolate don't equal victory, I don't know what does.

CURRENT PROGRESS: 5 POUNDS GONE  45 TO GO
