Be proud of yourself today!

We visited my niece for Thanksgiving. In her basement, she had several family photos on the wall. The photos were from last Christmas, 54 pounds ago. I almost did not recognize myself. I mean, I know I have changed, but did not realize or remember just how much.

I had been having a bummer of a week. I've been stuck in a plateau and can't seem to get the scale moving. I have 10 lbs to go, and I have been feeling fat and just plain MAD about my body's refusal to let go of the last 10 lbs.

I quickly quit being mad about the last 10 pounds when I took a look at where I was a year ago!

I'd like to encourage everyone to think about the progress you've made. I don't care if it's one pound or one hundred, walking for five minutes, or running a marathon. Think about what you've done and remember to be proud of your accomplishments
