As of today, I have lost 15.7 pounds. That number isn't huge and I still have a good bit to lose, but this is a big deal to me because it is the most I've ever lost. I'm very cyclical in my weight loss. I can lose 10 pounds pretty quickly but then I get tired of restricting and I go back to normal living and gain it back. And when life sucks, I gain even more back. But not this time. A bad day isn't stopping me. Not even a bad week or two can keep me from getting back on track. So while 15.7 pounds isn't huge, this is now the most weight I've ever lost and I'm not done trying. For more info-In May of this year, I weighed in at 224.3, making this my highest weight ever. I was pretty disgusted by myself. I knew I needed to make a change but didn't really make drastic changes. I'd do well with my calorie limit for like a week and then I'd have a stressful day and just give up. I did that from May to October. I lost maybe 10 pounds gradually from little changes but starting the week of Thanksgiving I've been all in.I think the biggest impact on this new attempt is the realization that I can do it. I made a master spreadsheet to track inches and weight and keep track of the calories of common foods I eat. I also made a schedule of how long it will take me to be at my goal weight as long as I stick to the daily work. Just knowing that sometime next year I can be living a completely different life is what makes me keep pushing. It takes a lot more planning, yes. But I've realized that discipline is the only thing that will get me to my goal. I'm so quick to believe that I can't do it and that I'm not strong enough. But today I'm at a huge NSV so its clear that I CAN do it. You can do it to!
