One Small Victory

I had a small victory this morning in my bathroom on the scale. I almost lost 10 pounds in September. I like saying almost 10 instead of 9. It just sounds better to me. Even though I know there is nothing wrong with 9 pounds. I could make a few excuses< but I won't ...Although I am a little PMS...I may adjust my weigh in day depending on my start day if you know what I mean. We'll see what the week brings. :)

To be honest, I thought it might be over 10 pounds. My clothes are fitting better. I wore a pair of pants today that I couldn't /wouldn't wear 2 weeks ago. They were too tight in my waist. I always lose the weight there first. I can tell a difference. I am on a roll right now. I feel good. I feel committed. I feel confident. I refuse to be upset because it isn't more of a weight loss. I've worked hard, and it's been real life...know what I mean? Nothing drastic, nothing really abnormal...it is truly something I could do forever. I am happy with that.

I also like it that weighing in once a month has kept my obsession with the scale at bay. I've been focusing on my eating and exercise one day at a time. If I slip at one meal, that's okay. I refocus and start over. I am not focused in on that number every hour or so, or even every day.

I will weigh again November 1, I guess. Like I said above, I may switch my day depending on my cycle.

Sept.1 was 198. Today was 189. Hip, hip, hooray!!!!!

Hope you are all doing well.
