15 lbs LOST!!!!
I'm celebrating my farewell to 15 lbs off my body!!!
So when I had 70 lbs to loose 15 did not seem like such a big deal- But let's see- what weighs 15 lbs??? I googled it-- you know what- a bowling ball weighs 15 lbs. WOW!!!
That's a lot less to carry from now on.
Today I had a job interview. Please read my Day 5 AM post to see what happened on my last interview. It was AWFUL - I had nothing to wear because my clothes no longer fit me!!!
Well, this morning, I fit into my suit-- AND I actually need to have the jacket taken in. I felt great, and I looked great, if I do say so myself. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!
This job is a little out of my field, but I am very optimistic. I was great at the interview and confident!
I have to say that the change in physical appearance is GREAT but the change in psychology is even better! There are just no words. I feel like with each pound I loose, I gain something new. It hasn't even been a month- and I feel my life has changed so much.
If you are struggling with your own weight issues- the best advice I can give you is --- PLEASE don't just tackle the weight-- PLEASE try and tackle the issues that have led you to be overweight. I wasn't ready to do that in the past, and I would loose, but the pounds would come back on eventually. I still have a long way to go before I reach my goal, and even further still in maintaining it, but I am optimistic because my perspective has changed. I don't look to food or alcohol for pleasure. I feed myself to feed my body. I'm not saying it's easy or that I'm perfect EVERY day, but I really do strive for it. Not because I'm on a diet, but because I love the journey. I can't wait to be free of all that's been weighing me down (literally)!!!
