in Success Stories
I've been on this weightloss journey for almost 3 months. I have been doing really good and I get comments from my kids and husband on how great I'm doing. Tonight the kids are at a sleepover and the husband is at work. I'm telling you, I NEVER get a day or evening alone. So I could eat my face out on all the yummy snacks, yummy foods and pretty much anything I wanted to if I wanted to just let loose. Your probably wondering why this is in the success stories page? Well my friends, if my family is away and I have the will to ban all the junk for the night and eat a turkey burger with vegetables that to me IS a success. I am down 45 pounds as of today and sure I enjoy a little something sweet every once in awhile but I feel I have come a long way. The old me would sit in my house watch TV and over indulge on all the things that made me feel good emotionally. Instead I am choosing things that make me feel good physically. Drop the mic.....

    Congrats to you too on choosing excersice! I didn't want to toot my own horn I just wanted to say to everyone, that some of these choices may be a small success. However, enough of them turn into a huge success and in the end it's all the little things that you do that make you succeed.

    I would give an arm and leg to have an evening alone.
    Going to the gym without having to rush back. That sounds like heaven.
    Enjoy it

    When my husband is away, I cook a delicious meal that he wouldn't enjoy, like sweet chili salmon fillets with wild rice pilaf and asparagus. I think I'm actually healthier when he is away lol
