45 days ago:
I would be the person to wait for the closest parking spot at the market.
I wouldn't think twice about letting my neighbor mow my lawn for me.
I would find any and every excuse to not go to the gym
I never thought people would care about me reaching my goals
I wanted to be put on a weight loss drug because I just knew I couldn't do this by myself.
I thought for sure I would be in 24s for a while.

Now:
This person now will park as far away as possible.
This person has used an "Push mower" to mow her lawn 2x in 3 days plus her mother in laws lawn once.
This person can not wait to hit the gym in the morning.
This person wakes up in the morning and checks her MFP to see what positive feed back she has received.
This person is so glad her doctor refused to prescribe her drugs and told her to use MFP where I am not doing it by myself.
This person pushed through the thoughts and has made it down to a 18.

This person can honestly say that I do not mind all the changes that I have made to my life. IT FEELS GREAT!

    This person sounds amazing. The changes we can make to ourselves and our lives is immense. Glad the positive feedback is helping you along!! I know it helps me so much too. Which is awesome cause I'll log on to MFP to leave encouraging messages, then see inspirational messages others left for me, which gives me more motivation to keep being active and healthy.

    Nice! Great change... and jealous here on the clothing sizes because I've been here that long with no change (I drop clothing sizes really slowly though... guess it at least saves me some money...) Keep up the amazing work!

    Luckily I have clothes that range from 14 to 24. So I wont be spending money on clothes any time soon. Now I have to go dig the chest outta the shed!
