2 steps back. 2 steps back. 2 steps back.

I do a lot of 2 steppin. My entire life, I have let the 2 step defeat me. I am working hard and the weight is coming off. True, not in the mass quantities that I would like. But I need to remind myself that it took 26 years to put this on. I can stick it out a year to take it off. And I wasnt as on it last week as I should have been. I cheated and snuck"tastes" of a lot of foods. And I still lost. I cant let my weight loss affect my mood this much. I am making better food choices and walking 6 times a week. If nothing else, even if I dont lose another pound, I have made a change that I hope to be long lasting. I just want to be able to live for my daughter. I want my health problems to be less severe. So I need to keep in mind that its not always the number that counts. Its the changes I see and the decisions I make.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend.

I will be cheating tonight and enjoy my dads fat laden BBQ shrimp...which I dont feel bad about at all :)

Xo,
Mary

  1. Thank you for this post- I needed to be reminded of this (it's not about the numbers). I'm not losing as fast as I would like either and get discouraged sometimes, so hearing someone else say "it's not always the number that counts" really helps. Thanks!
