I am WINNING at this! How do I know? Because the scale is going down even though I'm not preoccupied with food and losing weight. I am focusing on the habits that will get me to where I want to be but I'm not going crazy. I feel good. I feel balanced. I feel empowered! I am utterly amazed at the amount of food I can eat and still lose weight. I am amazed that I can do easy or moderate workouts and still lose weight. I'm feeling very confident, because I know there is room to take it up a notch if things slow down. If I gave it my absolute all right from the start and it didn't work, what more could I do? That's why I like where I am right now. I feel like I can easily cut back on my eating a little and ramp up my workouts without it being too painful or crazy-making. I've got those tweaks in my pocket waiting for when the scale tells me it's time. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the ride! Gone are the days where I count every calorie down to each freaking piece of lettuce. Gone are the days where I barely eat because I feel "fat" (and then binge like crazy later). Gone are the days where I kill myself in the gym and then give myself a hard time for not doing enough. No more! That is all NONSENSE. It doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't have to be hard. I was making it hard! And it's really not. I don't have it all figured out, but I do know this: make reasonable changes that you can live with for the rest of your life. You will thank yourself!
