On January 31st, I told myself I was going to lose 30 pounds in an effort to psyche myself into a diet. I ended up losing 13 pounds, which is still a feat for me.
I could not have done this without the slow progress I’d made in recent months. Previously, I had stopped getting fast food altogether since I came home from New York (beginning of November 2010) and from there tried to sneak in as many meals that revolved around veggies as possible.
When I finally said to myself, “I’m ready to do this.” I started using my Loseit.com app every day to track all the food I was eating and being accountable to myself. Even that accountability took a slow path to realization as I began writing in my WordPress.com blog daily. Just being mindful of what I put in my mouth is a step in the right direction and help keeps me honest.
I’m proud of the progress I’ve made, though I’m not anywhere close to the weight I’d like, but for once in a long, long while, I’m finally on the right track.
