Progress is Progress!

Amy

Current Weight: 228 (That's 1 pound YAY!)

As you can see I was able to lose 1 lb this week. In the past I would have not been happy at all with that amount of weight loss. In the past I would have gotten down on myself about not doing more. But not today. I am a very busy mom of 3 kids and I am proud of myself for any progress I am making big or small. Who says we can only celebrate the big achievements?  In the past I would have for sure quit by now. Not to say I haven't thought about it but I really am trying to make some changes. It's really hard not to want to quit when you go week after week with no progress at all. But I just keep telling myself it didn't take a week to put all this weight on so it sure the heck isn't going to just take a week to get it off. We all want the quick fix and truth be told there is no quick fix for this. It requires alot of hard work and time. But I promise you you will want to celebrate every last pound because of how hard you have worked. Truthfully in the past I have been able to lose weight pretty quickly by not really having to even work that hard but this time has been different.  It has been so much harder to lose any weight at all. I don't know what is different but I am definitely having to work for each and every pound. But when the pounds do come off it makes it that much better because I know how hard I had to work to get it.

Like I said I know it may seem stupid to some of you that I am so proud of just one pound but that one pound is one more I never have to worry about again. And that one pound means that I kept going and didn't quit even though that would have been easier. So just be patient and keep working hard and at some point it will pay off!
