So I had to come to work today wearing all black because I have a concert tonight. I know black is a slimming color, but FIVE of my coworkers this morning commented on how "skinny" I look! I never thought I'd feel "skinny" at 184.4 lbs, but here I am. I've still got a ways to go, but I'm just so happy with what I've been able to accomplish with this site.
Yay for Mike!

Also, I went downstairs to the cafeteria this morning and walked right up to the perfectly browned sausages, the fluffy biscuits (yes, with gravy), the delicious-looking hash browns, and the scrambled eggs, and I thought to myself, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels," and I took a deep breath and took my two hard-boiled eggs and got out of there. I was SO close to taking the other stuff but nope. Not today.

Just wanted to share! Good luck to everyone. Collectively we're doing awesome!

    I love that feeling! Being asked "are you loosing weight" I say no, it must be my clothing. I get the comments especially when I wear black.

    The other feeling that I love is when I can walk right up to a food and grab something completly different and much better for me.

    Keep it up. :smile:

    "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels,"


    That my friend, is an excellent quote. I think I will bring it to mind the next time I am tempted to eat something that I shouldn't. :wink:

    Yes it is an excellent quote! But - just to be clear - it's not mine! I don't want to take the credit. It's something I've read before (on this forum, even) but I like it.

    Now, to put things in perspective...(confession time)...last night after my concert we all went out. I had a pint of Killian's and some (gasp, horror) breaded buffalo chicken tenders. :noway: Heh. But I had carrots on the side instead of fries.
    All about moderation, right? :tongue:

    But today is a new day, and I will be running and swimming. True, I'd have to swim across Lake Michigan to burn off those tenders (and I *won't* be doing that today, thanks, too much ice), but I made the choice and I have to live with it!
