5 MONTHS ANNIVERSARY- and 30 lbs. Less of me

Jill_newimprovedversion

I began this journey on 3/27/2011 SKEPTICAL, PESSIMISTIC, AND NOT THE LEAST BIT ENTHUSED
but it's a journey I'm GLAD I stayed on.
It hasn't been easy, I've faltered many times,
but I've learned SO MUCH along the way.
I'm stronger inside and out- I can SAY NO to seconds, I can say YES to just ONE( 1 ) piece of chocolate- OR SAY NO, I'll PASS- because I CAN. I am no longer in bondage to food, and it feels PHENOMENAL! :happy:


While I often wished there was some "magic pill" that could make all this fat go away,
I'm glad I never found it. I'd have missed the most important lessons I've learned along the way-
that I CAN make healthy choices, I can overcome temptations, I can come out stronger than when I first started.
They don't make a pill for that. It's called SELF-CONTROL. That I do have, I just never used it before.
I have a WONDERFUL GROUP OF MFP friends that encourage me, advise me, cry with me, rejoice with me, and pray for me.
I CHERISH each one of them.

So here's my progress photos: STARTED 3/27/2011 30 lbs. down and roughly 10 more to go...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
This journey is so about so much more than food, how our bodies look, what the number on the scale says, what size we wear, etc. All that is great, but this, what you wrote above is what really matters.

You do look great-enjoy it, but I'm happier for this that you learned along the way! LOVE IT!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Keep up the great work, you are strong!
