Pardon me while I share my excitement!

Hello all! I've been reading through the success stories pretty regularly for some personal motivation since I've re-joined MFP in the past month. I would just like to share that over the past month I've lost 9lbs and I'm so excited! Yes, I know, it's a small victory compared to so many others, but I'm proud of myself...and my fiance is starting to see some change and is kinda on board now with healthier dinner choices, which has been such a challenge. It's so hard to eat better at home when no one else is interested.

Something that I'm really proud of in this little victory is that I've lost this weight without starving myself and without really exercising regularly (yet). I lost about 50lbs in the past but I did it by starving myself all day and then gorging at night - thinking that it was the only way. Ultimately, I gained it all back! I'm learning that moderation is key and modifying the things you love can make all the difference. I'm so glad that I found a better way to do this! I must confess that I am not the pinnacle of health or anything at this point, but I'm moving in the right direction and accounting for everything that crosses my lips is really putting things in perspective. Maybe this time I will really stick to this and get healthy and be happier! Thanks for taking a look!
