Lost: 16 lbs
Gained: A new love for fruit and vegetables. A feeling of empowerment. A new confidence. The ability to say "no." The ability to eliminate (most) excuses.
Well it has been an interesting few weeks. I feel so DANG good. I am happy to report that I have not eaten one treat/baked good/sugar soda since I found out. It feels amazing to gain control over something that has weakened me for so long.
Once, a long time ago, someone told me that people who make excuses are useless. Whether or not that is true, I think I am finally done with that phase of life. I know I will have bad days, but the energy that I feel now having lost this much weight so far is greater than my desire to give in to instant gratification.
Life is good.
I am starting to love my body.
