Today I will be positive. Today I will love and celebrate who I am right now, and I will allow myself to be excited about my progress without looking to what I haven't accomplished yet.
Here are the facts: I weigh 206.6 today. That is easily the lowest I have weighed in over 2 years. My clothes are starting to fit better, and my 18's and 17's are falling off. My shirts are looser. My love handles are disappearing, and my face is starting to look like my normal, lovely face again.
I weigh the same right now that I weighed when I started dating my husband 6 years ago. He couldn't take his eyes off me then, and there are still times when he can't. I have worked hard. I have lost 32 pounds since I started this whole weight loss thing 2 months ago. That is an amazing loss. I am curvy and earthy and beautiful. I deserve to love myself.
I have decided to put a limit on this diet. I'm not going to quit, I don't believe I should. Before this point, though, I had not set the amount of time I wanted to do the hcg protocol. My goal for this round is 195 pounds or 30 days. That's it. I already feel better with an end in sight.
I am going to focus more on doing the protocol completely correctly. For example, this morning I didn't have my boiled egg I normally have. I know from my experiences so far that if I follow the diet and get plenty of sleep, I can lose this last 11 pounds or so quite quickly.
I am so excited about going back to exercising as much as I want and eating my healthy dose of calories. I want to try Zumba and I want to ride my bike more. I miss sweating. Ha! It's so funny how your perception changes.
I also want to write about other topics than my weight. I have made so many positive changes this year for myself and I've come up with so many recipes and tricks to share with you. Soon, I will. I think it will be good for me to pull away from focusing on that stupid number on the scale and write about other things.
Today has been a wonderful day so far! I feel so much better.
