1 month since I made the decision to be better to myself. Lots of little victories, and a few big ones. I've lost 14 lbs, much of that in the first week, but have been losing at 2-ish lbs per week steadily and that is just phenomenal for me.

I posted in my status last night...

I laid down (read: collapsed) on the treadmill after I finished my workout & I just cried & cried. I am doing this, I really am. I am finding strength in me that I didn't know was there. I'm finding resolve & commitment & seriousness & oh-my-God physical stamina that's increasing because, today, this day, I woke up & chose to be worth the effort.

My plan for tomorrow, btw, is to wake up & do it all over again. ODAAT. :-)

    Love it! It reminds me of something that I heard yesterday that I was inspired by: "Face your stuff, don't stuff your face". So true. Often we eat for other reasons and not necessarily for hunger. Love that you are digging deep to find your inner strength.

    No, not in the first week, lol. I've lost 14 lbs in the past 30 days, but the first week was the fastest. I lost 7 the first week.

    Great job!!! I am finding losing weight the hardest thing I have ever done, even more so than my unassisted, unmedicated birth LOL
