This is a huge success for me

So I recently shared my success (lost about 30lbs kept it off 2yrs) and before and after pics to boot (hated having my picture taken while I was overweight but it’s out there now, lol) and my desire to lose a few vanity pounds before my cruise (I did just not as many as I was hoping for, not a disappointment). I went on my 6 night cruise and a couple of nights in Florida as well 8 nights total). Did not log a bite (wasn’t planning on it). So after a recovery day at home I stepped on the scale (first successful thing, if I thought I screwed up in the past I avoided it like the plague). Only 9 lbs up and I knew about half was probably water (knowing that and being happy is two more, was never happy about it before and would freak water weight or not). And then I knew what I needed to do to take them off, Log and Log HONESTLY!! Knowing it and doing it and very different but I did both. Now the next day, 2 lbs water gone and I am doing what I need to to never slide back in that bigger and unhappier body of mine. Awesome right! But my greatest victory is that I have NO GUILT AND NO WORRIES about doing it or getting there and staying there. These have been all my biggest causes of setbacks in the past and I won’t let myself stumble on the little things anymore. And proof is here. A picture of me in my bikini, belly bloated from food and drink, while sucking down another strawberry daiquiri in Margaritaville. A picture on our balcony, still bloated but laughing anyway and a little food porn of just one huge (trust me it was big took up most of our table for two) dessert art that my husband and I almost finished after a 5 course meal and a bottle of wine for dinner.
Thank you for letting me pat myself on the back and for no judgments on not logging. It was exactly what I wanted and needed to do for me! And Thank you again MyFitnessPal, for the tools I used to get myself here, finally and for good!

Wow, you guys thank you for all the great support. And yes I am so much happier now that my reflection no longer causes me to cringe. Being able to smile when a camera is out instead of running to hide makes my family happy too. I really wish you all the best on your way to a happier and healthier you!2
