This is small, but.....

AHappyMe09

I thought I'd throw this out there, as a small victory for myself.

My first victory is I have kept this up now for a week- I'm proud of myself for that.
Not only have I kept it up, but I've been doing well.

My second- I am excercising caution/portion control/awareness for the first time in my life, and it makes me happy. I've seen some of your guys' success stories and pictures, and I know that I can do that too.

I took some pictures of my body the other day; it was really gross and depresseding.....but, I'm excited to make progress and take more pictures, to compare.

Thanks everyone, for your motivation and inspiration.

Finally having control over your eating, and not your eating having control over you is a great feeling, isn't it?! :bigsmile:
It's pretty much WHY MFP has worked sooooooo well for me over the "tons" of other "diets" I used to go on. Since coming here, and "working with my numbers" through better food choices, moderation (MOST of the time! :laugh: ) and getting some exercise, I finally DID lose most of the weight that I wanted to, and YOU can too!
MFP isn't a "diet", it's a "lifestyle change". :bigsmile:
