    Little NSV this week. I have had to discard 8 pairs of my winter trousers (pants if you are in the USA) because they wouldn't stay up. They seemed huge. Last winter they were skin tight.

    @bri170lb You said My husband and I are celebrating today! For the first time in our 34 years together....I WEIGH LESS THAN HIM! Silly, I know, but it makes me very happy!

    That is such a good feeling. Doing a happy dance with you. It's only a few weeks ago that the same thing happened to me! It's our golden wedding anniversary next year and I plan to will be back to the weight I was when we got married.

    2. Control portions

    Just for today.
    11/9/15
    I started my journey a week ago. It's been good so far. Found out I can run for 6 minutes straight today! That was a big success for me. Everything hurts though. And I've been exhausted all this week. I was told that I'll have some good days and some bad days. Today was bittersweet. I just finished my workout. I feel like I could have done better but I'm still happy with today's outcome. I can't wait for the amounts of energy after workouts. I don't have that yet.

    But for today:
    1. Drink plenty of water
    2. Log everything I eat
    3. Clean the house
    4. Stretch more

    This is just what I need right now! Thank you for starting this!

    1) I will log everything honestly today (even if some of it is bad...)
    2) I will go to the gym and exercise
    3) I will eat healthy the rest of the day! Fruits and Veggies
    4) I will weigh myself tomorrow, even though I don't want to :'(
    5) I will not use my break-up as an excuse to eat out of self pity
    6) I will try not to worry and eat out of anxiety
    7) I will go to therapy (no shame in this game! lol)
    8) I will not beat myself up if I don't meet all these goals today
    9) I will be grateful for what I have
    10) I think I said it all!


    I was told we all have good days and bad days. Just keep trucking along. I'm battling a depression episode right now so just know that you aren't struggling alone. Things get better. And definently don't beat yourself up if you don't meet all your goals today. Even just attempting them is an awesome accomplishment. You are trying and it shows. :smiley:
