How about financial? It's been surprising to me how much longer food lasts when I'm measuring and portioning food out. I've definitely notice a change in our food budget.

The money I save because food lasts longer and looking good in denim!

I can fit into that tiny space between two large people on the subway, easily, instead of not taking it because I'm nervous I won't fit.

Feeling confident and great about myself. And optimistic about my new sustainable healthy lifestyle.

So much more energy, no energy slumps in the afternoon or after meals, great skin, and I can fit more clothes in a weekend bag since they are several sizes smaller. LOL!

Yes, I'm healthier and some chronic hip pain that I thought was from childbirth went away (guess it was the weight). I feel better but I have to admit. My favorite new feeling is hitting a dressing room at goodwill. Doesn't matter what I grab. It fits and looks good. So much better than the rest of my life in dressing rooms. (Starting weight 265. Current weight 135. 5'8)

People treat me different.
People treat me better!

I suppose it's just nature, but I have noticed that everywhere I go, others go out of their way to be helpful, nice and engaging. And people just come up to talk to me, and I am taken back sometimes when I realize the approach was pure, raw attraction.
I am not used to this.

My mood. I feel so much better about getting up everyday even if i wake up and feel blah and force myself to workout afterwards i feel more centered and focused.
