i feel different

lisaisso

i can't explain it, but i just do.. yeah, i've lost 8 lbs and 4 inches in 2 weeks, i agree it's phenomenal and i def worked for it.. but i just feel different inside.. like, toward my goal, my expectations, etc. i dont care if i only lose 1 pound a week, because each one is worth so much to me, toward a better, healthy me.. i guess one could say i'm just in a pink cloud, but with realistic projections for myself, but also with unwavering determination and perseverence.. like, it just clicked- what if i got frustrated and gave up? then i'd gain, and i'd stay stuck for that much longer. and instead of saying 'i hope..' and 'i wish i would..' i'm now saying that no matter how long this takes i will take care of this God-given body, and give my knees a break, and feel confident in my own skin, and not do this for anyone but me today... i'm almost in awe of my new frame of mind and beginning-body, because my thoughts aren't sounding like myself- it's too serene, confident, peaceful and whole- like i said, i dont know how to explain it...

I really understand what you mean. I'm losing slowly, but each time I see the scale drop a little bit I realize that the changes I've made are working. This time my entire outlook has changed rather than just what I eat or do physically.

I can relate to what you are saying..... Every time I have tried to lose weight I'm always afraid of giving up!!!! I'm afraid of negative and sabotages thoughts, but the good thing is that MFP peers really supports you!!!! So keep thinking positive and if negative thoughts come to your mind knock them down with a great workout!!!!!

Take care
