One of the things that I am loving about having too loose weight is the learning. I know to some that may sound insane but the reality is not only bad memories come from my extra unwanted pounds.

In truth aside from the abusive marriage in my past I had many a happy moment in my fat bliss. Many amazing family suppers, hand cooked by me myself and I. Pizza nights in bed with my husband after some well truthfully amazing love. *ooooohhhhh la la* Not to mention the tons of food moments I am not remembering at this moment. Mainly because I am trying to decide if I really want to give up delivery!

Let's face some facts here, getting fat did not happen over night. It took a lot of tasty but not good for us food to get here. It is like a badge and we earned it dammit. See in my opinion, the great thing here is that we get to earn the weight loss too. Face it, when you have straight hair you want curly, curly straight. Big chest smaller and vise versa.

When you don't have to work for something you do not appreciate it nearly as much. So not only do I have some amazing memories but I am making new ones and so are you.

While learning that if I cover ground turkey in tomato sauce my husband will actually eat turkey, I am also learning things I have always wanted too and never done. I am learning to swim and frankly feel amazing to leave my world for an hour a day and do laps or work out with my trainer. I am learning that vegetables are tasty and potatoes, my old faithful love, somehow cheated on me and become root like and dirty tasting. Jerk!

I am learning that water is refreshing, I have way to many clothes I don't wear, and that the kitchen is for more than just putting on the pounds. We play family games there now. I have learnt that I do not always have to have a housekeeper because I am too tired and my bed room really does stay cleaner if I am cleaning it.

I have learnt that my chin really can be separate from my face and those that really love me are proud of me for doing what has seemed to come pretty natural.

The truth is we have all learned and we are all doing great when we allow ourselves too. So no more cheats make them treats and get over it. No more I did this wrong and start paying attention to what you did right. Start saying yes you can instead of this is hard.

If you believe in what you are doing there is no other way but to achieve the results. Remember when you get there and look great in those new clothes, or have that boob job or tummy tuck, remember you earned every last pound lost. Stop beating yourself up and start patting your back because there is only one way this is going to go your way.

Have a fabulous week.
