Today I hit -90lbs gone!

It's been 6.5 months of hard work, and a LOT of emotions, but in the attached "After" picture, I felt pretty for the first time in a long time.

While I am THRILLED, I find it interesting the voices in my head that keep trying to shame me for needing to lose so much in the first place.

I'm still a work in progress.

    Great job! I have to tell that voice in my head to "shut up" all the time. 90 lbs in 6.5 months is phenomenal progress! There's no stopping you now!

    I keep to about 1500 calories a day. Limit sugar to 50 grams per day. The results from decreasing sugar were quick. I noticed less bloating right away.

    Some kind of exercise/movement (walking/biking/swimming) 5-6 days a week. I try and do some lifting 2-3 times a week. I'm going to consult with a personal trainer this week to help me figure out what exactly to do when lifting.

    Mostly I just try to take one day at a time.
