Hi everyone!
I am so excited right now, and I feel like sharing it with the world! I just began my weight loss journey last Tuesday, but have found so much self control since starting. Today was a hard day, as it was the anniversary of the death of my Grandma who I lost in February to cancer. It was very sudden and very fast, she passed two weeks after we found out she had cancer. For the first time since she died, I didn't cry today. However, I found myself finding the urge.. to.. binge.

I am an emotional eater and today.. I said NO! I told myself when I was starting to get upset that I didn't want a snack, I didn't want to go get ice cream. I worked out, I ate all three of my meals, drank water.. But I didn't binge. I was even under my calorie goal for the day. This is a personal HUGE success for me. I know I don't have any after pictures to show yet, but today made me realize that I CAN do this!!!

Here's to you Grandma <3
