One of my favorite things to watch on TV are the weight loss
transformation shows. I love to see the end
results. You see them start so defeated,
be chosen for the show, make major changes and eventually what they look like
in the end. It is so inspiring to see
their transformations. Some shows you
watch for months to get to what they look like in the end. Others you see one person’s year-long
transformation in one night.
Each season when I start one of the shows that you watch for
months to see the end result I think to myself “by the time they are at or near
the end, I want to be at 'x' weight”.
How many seasons have started and ended now, and I hadn’t made those
changes?
I will have friends announce their pregnancies, and I think “by
the time their baby comes, I would like to have lost 'x' weight”. And the baby comes, celebrates a birthday,
etc…and I haven’t made any changes.
Well, at almost two weeks in, that has all changed! I am making the positive changes I have said
I wanted to. I am eating healthier. I am losing weight. I am feeling better. Compared to the past
though, I didn’t let one meal or one bad choice keep me from going back to
it. I didn’t throw in the towel just
because I messed up.
I noticed that when eating better, I actually am excited to
weigh in the next day. I want to see if
what I did the day before made the scale move at all. If it is the same, I still keep going. I am not giving up.
Thank you so much for all of the support. I really appreciate it. I believe that is a lot of what is helping me
get through and keep going.
I will give a weight update in the next few days at some
point. I am down weight, but want to
start consistently updating on a certain date and haven’t decided on a “Transformation
Tuesday” or “Weigh-in Wednesday” yet. Thoughts?
