But I just have to "write it" out loud and don't want to jinx it by telling someone, but I have lost 14 lbs. I am so excited. I have never lost that much on a diet before, just my expanding.... really expanding waistline over the last 10 years. I don't think I have lost enough for other people to really notice yet, but my clothes definitely are looser. I have about 50 more lbs to go so this is just a drop in the bucket, but I am going to acknowledge and celebrate every 5 lbs.
John and I are doing it together it is working for us. He has lost 20 lbs and is starting to feel discouraged because he hasn't lost much this week. But what we keep telling ourselves is "this isn't supposed to be easy or fun or comfortable". It has helped us keep going. We have decided to try something else diet-wise next week, mainly because we have a youth pizza party for church on Tuesday night and camping next weekend and we just don't think it will be realistic to do what we have been doing for the last 6 weeks. So our goal of course is to continue losing weight, but mostly to just keep off what we have lost already.
Keep us in your prayers.
