Recently, I decided to attempt to change my behavior pattern of overeating to cope with painful emotions. I’m a few weeks in and it has been powerful to see how I have acted differently during this time. Instead of overeating to numb my feelings, I have been acknowledging my feelings, allowing myself to feel them and practicing self-compassion. And I have been confronting my problems right and left. I feel more authentic and happy. I seriously love this change of behavior in myself!22

Clothes I saved just in case I ever lost weight are now too small for me. I waited too long and missed the window of opportunity.
I have a big mirror over the vanity in my bedroom. For years I have avoided it. I change my clothes on the other side of the room, if I had to cross the room half-dressed or undressed I would rush past it with my eyes averted. I did not want to see what was in the mirror. I don't have to do that any more. I can stop and look. It's not too scary. I can see my improvements. I can like some of the things I see and appreciate how far I have come. Of course, if I tarry to long I start to notice what work still needs to be done. A quick peek makes me happy.12 -
I found a really good chair yoga series on Prime Video, so that I can safely do some exercise during my current endo flare.9

Was frustrated after a week of no results on the scale. Decided to measure myself again after a week and despite no loss soon the scale I lost an inch on my belly, waist, arms, and thigh.7

I’ve just realised that I can’t remember the last time I got out of breath in a gym class.
(Still get puffed hiking up steep hills, mind!)17 -
Visited my doctor, and now I am officially off all blood pressure meds for the first time in 3 years.42

Just coming off a 100 - day run streak. At least a mile a day from Memorial Day - Labor Day (plus yesterday to get to an even 100 days). I'm gladly taking today off but I'm proud I was able to stick with it through the humid summer months when I usually find way too many excuses not to run!37

At a recent class I broke the chair and wasn't the least bit embarrassed. Obviously a chair in not good shape.
However, I also heard someone say and the tiny one broke the chair which I am not sure how I feel about as any chair in a conference room should be able to support people.13 -
I passed on donuts someone brought to work today and had my eggs with veggies and cheese.25

I tried on my son's XL t-shirt yesterday just to see how it fit. It was slightly tight in the tummy area, but looked good everywhere else. I was wearing 3x/4x men's t-shirts with just a little room in them in May. If I wanted to I could wear the XL now, I like them just a little roomy though.
My mother-in-law hadn't seen me for about a month and when she did her first comment was "you have been losing weight, haven't you?" She knew I was losing because my kids told her but she didn't believe it until she saw me. I'm down 21 pounds since May.32 -
So many this week! Passed on the office bakery, passed on the family ice cream, killed my workouts this week ( during that time of the month!!!) and my FAVORITE, lying on my deck right now in a thong!! Wouldn’t have done that anywhere in the last 10 years. And I’m still very overweight , but it’s coming along.21

I feel you on that one, lol. I'm just outside the standard sizes for most department stores so it really jacks up the price, and for bras that probably won't fit yet again next year.
Oh geez I can only imagine how much of a pain that could be!! Being a mom of 2 toddlers I REALLY don't feel like going to the store and trying on a bunch of bras if I don't have to.... I'm taking a chance and ordering some online. Fingers crossed that they work for me though. I know it's a long shot!4 -

Heard that. I can go for miles on a flat course without stopping. Put some hills in front of me and I always have to stop to catch my breath. But at 65, I'm just glad I'm able to keep hiking!10 -
Hi, id like to jump in. I have been trying to have enough money after bills to unfreeze my gym membership (signed a contract) so ive been using that as an excuse not to exercise. But i have been in the forums for a couple days. Need some real time motivation and i got it. I gave up the drive to my sons school and decided to go walk to pick him up. 20 minute walk, i thought i was just slow but when i opened my steps (recorded automatically as an exercise) to and from was over a mile. The most ive walked since february. Had to share with someone who understands. Thanks, sorry for the essay🤣41

That's one part of a strategy for weight loss and better health - incorporating more movement into your day. Keep it up!9 -
I got hungry but not the true type of hunger. It's that type of hunger where you're just kind of bored. Yeah, so that attacked me hard this afternoon and instead of succumbing to it I gave myself the options of having carrots instead(to see if I was truly hunger) and walked away (carrot didn't sound appetizing at all). I've never done that before! Who am I?!?!? I'm digging her but lowkey I'm scared since this is all so new to me. Also, I'm digging La Croix sparkling water now asdfghjkl. AhaHA h e l p me.18

I've ALWAYS shunned food and gourmand scented candles...ALWAYS, because I've always told myself I didn't like them (when the truth is, when I was obese, I shyed away from them) because I felt they were too much of a temptation for me or that smelling them would lead me to over super pig out on a lot of stuff, or something of that nature.
Well, I'm burning an apple pie, coconut macaroon, banana cream pie candles in different rooms and my home smells absolutely scrumptious and I'm not tempted in the least and I'm enjoying them to the maxium (and so is my family) and I'm THRILLED to be burning these fabulous scented candles and no longer in my self-imposed "prison and box" of I can't burn certain candles anymore--because of (fill in the blank). FREEING, DELIGHTFUL and FABULOUS it is to be in control of oneself and be able to do things I've always allowed "fear, anxiety and woe" to influence and control me in a lot of area in my life. This weight blastification is far more excellent than merely getting down to size...I'll tell ya that.
YAY and BOOM!18 -
Tried on a winter jacket lurking in my closet.... Still too tight to wear but I could zip it up!
Getting closer to this little goal!20 -
I have been on 2 blood pressure pills for over 7 years...My blood pressure actually started going too LOW and making me dizzy and almost passing out. 2 days ago, it was the lowest it has ever been. I stopped the pills and it returned to a normal reading and the dizziness stopped. So I would say this is a huge victory.29
