Well I can say I am doing it!!  And what an amazing feeling it is to be on the FINAL count down of 10lbs to my goal!!  50lbs LOST (that's like carrying my 5 year old around all day every day!!)  The self confidence I have gained as I see my own strengths is so eye opening to me.  I finally feel good in just about everything I put on.  As for my clothes I have dropped 3 pant sizes, and 3 shirt sizes!!   I love wearing skirts and dresses now, which are very unusual articles of clothing for me in my wardrobe.

So my eating is back on track.  And I like to say that I am never starving, yet I am never stuffed....always satisfied.  I feel this is KEY to accomplishing my goal along with exercise!!  I was told that you should never feel hunger pains.  And that I usually do not with eating 5-6 times per day.  (low carb/healthy snack 2 hours after every meal).  It is not always the food that we eat that is truly bad, I know for a fact it was my mentality or behavior around food that kept me in an unhealthy life.  So glad I made the choice to change that back in February.

I like the 2 quotes below  :)
"If you work out, everything else will too."  Sheila Leard, RD, CSSD, CPT

"Your next meal is the best time to make a better choice."  Danielle Omar, MS, RD

So I will leave you with never let anyone dim your desire and ambitions!!  This is my journey and I am glad I see the light!! I will do this, I can do this, and so can you!! :)
