One thing I'm learning to do with this weight loss journey is to savor the mini successes.
And sometimes they are truly miniature but hey, every one counts.
Like losing a pound, or maybe only half a pound.
Like my ankles looking thinner (at least looking down at them).
Like the waistband on my pants fitting better.
Like being able to make a fist and my hands not feeling puffy.
Like walking up the stairs and not breathing hard.
Like being able to stand up for a long time and not feel stress in my lower back.
I try to savor these moments. I even close my eyes at the moment of realization and try to file away the feeling. Because in the rough moments when I don't see results, I try to recall these little successes.
Down 9 lbs since Christmas. Gotta stay focused and keep working hard.
Peace & Blessings,
Patricia

Each one of those things is a victory! Celebrate your accomplishments -- but not with food.
First, way to go with 9 pounds! How exciting is that? Those moments you savor, I do to. In fact, now that I know them, have lost them, and now find them coming back, I devour them!
