20lbs!!!!! I am in shock!
One third of the way through my diet journey and I did it in 2 months! I am really seriously in shock! I know it is a math game to lose weight but I told myself for so long that I couldn't do it that I had almost come to believe it wholly and truly. I almost failed myself completely with my mind set of not being able to lose any weight. The sad reality is that I was addicted to food and soda and I was medicating myself for pain I was feeling in life with chocolate and sugar of any variety. It is so sad to me. A couple of days before I started my diet, my mind caught hold of a thought I believe was placed there by my guardian angel. That thought was "I am healing my body with water" It was so profound to me that I dropped my soda habit that very day. I only drank water for about 4 days before starting my diet and that was the catalyst to me believing that I could start watching what I eat and losing weight. It worked! Now 2 months and 20 lbs later, I feel better and look better and my skin looks better from drinking water and from the good things I eat. I exercise more than I ever have in my life and I stay true to my commitment to see this thing through to the end when I can say, I lost 60 pounds. Won't that be a great day? That is only my first goal and I intend to go lower from there but the day I can hop on the scale and see that 200, I think I will throw a party! :) What a great day that will be and only 4 months from now hopefully!!!!! Thanks for reading! Love you!

WOW! You lost 20 pounds? That is fantastic Lianne. You are doing so well. I'm so glad you started this blog. I've gotten so many good ideas from it already. You are so honest with how hard it is, and it feels so good to know that there are others out there going through the same thing I am every time I try a diet. Love you.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! 1/3 way there!! We are thinking of starting a blog together. We both gained A LOT of weight the past two years. You define it exactly when you said you were medicating yourself for the pain you were feeling. I have 40 more pounds to lose. I got a weight-loss ticker and love changing it everyday... maybe I will start a blog..
