So tonight, I was fixing me a cup of coffee and stood in amazement yet again how much in changed in the past several months. First let me start with the big, I have lost a total of 78lbs so far and am pretty excited about that. But, tonight... Its remembering the small victory.
When I started, if I stood in the corner to open the fridge, I could not get it open with out forcing it past my stomach. It really didnt bother me that much because I had a hundred excuses. Well, after I started and the pounds started vanishing that was the first thing I noticed. How excited I was when I could suck in and get it open with only a little rub. So tonight as I pulled the milk out of the fridge I looked down as I pulled the door open and just stood in amazement at how big the gap is now even pushing my stomach all out. So I grabbed a ruler and the gap is 4 inch's and I may or may not have done my little happy hamster dance in the kitchen lol.
The main reason I wanted to share this is, when you are getting discouraged or down about how long or how tough its been.. Think about the small changes and how they are starting to add up.
