Down a size

I did it, I went out and bought myself a scale.  I know I said I would never do that again, but I have a much better relationship with this one than I did my old one.  And that is because the numbers are going down!!  Actually without my scale I just ate whatever and didn’t care.  When I had my scale before I ate whatever and didn’t care and hated it for showing me either no change or numbers going up!  Now that I have committed to being healthy I find the scale to be a good way for me to measure and keep tabs on my progress.  I have lost 6 pounds in the last two weeks—after faltering for awhile.  I had bought myself a pair of size 14 jeans as a motivation to fit into them, and guess what, they fit after two weeks!  And they aren’t even tight.  I was so happy.  I have been following the Suzanne Somers eating plan which I had tried to start before but didn’t quite understand it all.  For some reason it is so much easier this time.  I just was always so hungry and drained of energy when I did weight watchers.  I really enjoy this Somersizing eating plan and it’s something I could do for life.  And the great thing is that the weight is coming off without much extra exercise (I used to try to exercise twice a day).  Now I just do three times a week.  I guess the goal is to find what works for you, it’s taken me awhile but finally I found something that’s working for me!   And I’m not in a grouchy bad mood anymore.  (My family says, Hooray!)
