(2.16.11)But, honestly there are days where I feel like I haven't made much progess. I can't wear the next size smaller (without having muffin-top). My stomach still resembles that of a 5-month pregnant lady. I was the biggest girl at Step class on Sunday night.
This journey isn't fast. I think that's part of what makes it more difficult to actually see the change.
It's not like chopping off your hair or dying it a drastically different color.
It's slow.
It's subtle.
And, I guess that's how I need it to be. I need to work for this. I need to make changes that are going to take time to learn and become routine. Changes that are going to last a lifetime.
But, on days where I am feeling lackluster about my progress, I am grateful to be able to look back at photos and see the differences. They are subtle, but they are most definately there.
I am shrinking Sara!
Girl, get out of your own head!! You are going GREAT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, so proud of you for taking these steps toward a healthier you!
ReplyDeleteI get the frustration with the clothing issue - I watched the numbers drop without seeing an appreciable difference in my clothing for the longest time, and it was frustrating as heck. But it's our long-term health that's most important, not the number on our clothes...
So, SO proud of you!
I heard somewhere that the longer it takes to lose the weight, the easier it is to keep it off. I think the less drastic changes we make it makes them easier to stick with long term. At least that's what I'm hoping :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!!
