The journey continues

This is a journey like no other I have embarked on before.  I feel more determination and resolve then times I have tried to walk this path in the past.  I feel like I am unshakable.  That is not to say that there have not been struggles and trails.  I have a very bad habit of weighing everyday and expecting to see a loss everyday.  I find myself feeling disappointed when this happens.  It is difficult for me to keep going but I lift myself up and keep on walking.. I know I am on the right path.  I have to get myself to stay off the scale  everyday.

Today was different though.  This morning I got on the scale and no change.  I trudged off to work disappointed and more determined then ever.  I got lost in my work today and forgot all about my earlier disappointment.  I stayed on plan and ate what I was supposed to eat.  I got home and needed to go run some errands.  I needed to change my clothes before I went.  Since most of clothes that "fit" me are in the wash from the weekend I had to dig in the closet for something to wear.  The only casual clothes I had in there were a few pair of jeans that I have not been able to wear for over a year.  They two sizes to small at the start of my journey.  I thought quietly to myself... What the heck  I will try them on.  I was floored.  Not only did they fit they fit very comfortably loose. So loose that I can even bend over in them and touch my toes... Incredible.

It did not end there... We went out for dinner tonight and we sat in a booth... Whoot!  No tummy touching the table.  I can not tell you how long it has been since my tummy did not touch the table in a booth.

So what I realized is that I am making big progress and it may not always show on the scale.  I have to trust that if I keep doing the right things and eating the right things I will succeed.  It is like the fire that burns inside of me was fanned tonight into an inferno.  I feel unstoppable tonight...


And the journey continues...
