Mindset NSV!

Over the last few years I have lost the same 2lbs probably 50 times! I blamed hormones, motherhood, tiredness, the zodiac - you name it!

Then, slowly, I started to realise what happened. I would 'starve' myself for a few days, eating only cucumber and apples or some other insane idea, drop 2 lbs and be so proud of my progress I would 'reward' myself with a junk food binge and BAM....back comes that 2 lbs. Then I would get depressed, swear I will never lose weight and be back at square one!

This time, weight was a secondary issue. I want to be as healthy as I possibly can and to enjoy every second of my wonderful life with my husband, daughter and my horse! I have read 100 books, watched 100 programs and poured over these forums for ages, educating myself and facing the facts that I chose to hide from myself before (cheese eaten off a childs plate after they have finished, still counts as calories!!)

Now, I have lost 5 lbs, which is secondary to feeing great and working out more than ever.....this time I decided to 'reward' myself with a shopping spree at our local organic farmers market! I didn't even realise it until this morning. I feel so empowered that good choices can be soooo yummy and make such a fundamental difference is health, weight and outlook. The thought of ordering a huge pizza with extra cheese actually turns my stomach now.

I am really looking forward to seeing what I can do for myself now that, finally, my mind is along for the ride!

That's so great! You made me miss back home a little, every Saturday on Main street they would close down that block and have a huge Farmer's Market where people would come and sell their fresh fruits and veggies. Can't wait til fall when more open up here in New England though! Congrats on your mindset NSV!
