I thought I'd never. . .non-scale victories

Thought I would never give up my morning mochas.
Thought I would NEVER EVER survive the circuit training class at my gym, let alone have it become my favorite class of the week!
Thought I would feel strong enough to WANT to go back to work; I now feel I know how to balance work and family and still have time for ME because I respect ME now! (I got a new job and I start 8/25!)

Thought I'd never be able to give up Cold Stone ice cream
Thought I'd never spend this much time chattting with a group of people I've never met in my life and love it

I never thought I'd...

- run a half-marathon.
-plan what to eat ahead of time when I go to a restaurant.
-walk to work every day.
-know so much about nutrition.

I really never thought I'd find a plan that actually works for me.

Thanks MFP and thanks to all the inspirational people on here!:flowerforyou:

I thought I'd never...throw out 1/2 a chocolate cake! (I'll do a separate post about this)
I'm a member of the clean plate club. I hate wasting food! So this is something I'm working on.

I NEVER thought that I could -

- Quit Smoking (smoked for 15 years/smoke free for 5 months now)
- Be able to hike a strenous 12 miles
- Look forward to exercising every weekend / hiking or biking on weekends.
- Fit into a size 4 pants and 8 Top!!!!
- Give up Diet Coke and Lo-Carb Monster drinks (use to live on these)
- Drink 8 or more glasses of water a day (hate water, love diet coke)
- Go to a movie without popcorn.......

OH I didnt see your last one!!! MOVIES WITHOUT POPCORN???????????? You are kidding, right??? So it IS possible????? Oh the joyous day that will be!!! ÜÜ

OK I actually will pop my owm popcorn the 98% fat free kind and put it in a zip lock bag and sneak it into my purse. I even sit a seat away from my kids that have the real buttery kind just to avoid it....:laugh: :laugh:

Ok, so this is for 'I never though'.....I just started this today so mine will be a bit different. These are the nevers I feel right now.

I'll never look in a mirror and be happy.
I'll never wear a bathing suit and not feel like a whale.
I'll never be able to stick to my goals for weight loss.
I'll never like the way clothes fit.

Now my goal is to take all the 'I never thought's' everyone else had and make that my insiration to make mine go away.

Love to see people achieving success.
