So...basically my landlord is NOT cool. My Internet does not work at my apartment but "there are no other complaints" so he's not worried about fixing it and I'm not going to stay at work much longer than I have to....ANY WHO.... So why am I here? Oh! That's right! My obesity! So, I have been working hard at eating well and have been doing very well at it with only a couple of slip ups here and there. The funny thing is that when I would gorge myself before, I felt the same, but now that I have not been eating crap....I feel like crap when I eat it. Weird, right? I have been taking medication that was prescribed to me from my weight management doctor that has been helping me with craving and boy does it ever! I feel like I'm never hungry. It's such a freeing feeling! Last week I had a seven day pass at my best friend's amazing gym and if the membership wasn't so expensive or if I made more money (or had a sugar daddy) I would FOR SURE sign up! It was such an awesome week! I went almost every day. After work, I actually looked forward to going to work out. Now the membership is over and I'm sad. But I have to get my ass in gear because I have an actual membership I CAN afford at a place that I'm not using. How stupid is that?! At the amazing gym though, I did use the electronic scales and from August 22nd until September 12th, I have lost 13 pounds. It's not that much....but it's something, right? It's not even about the weight for me anyway, because you know what??? I FEEL AWESOME! I have more energy and I can tell the difference from before. I think that's worth more than the number and my ultimate goal isn't a number. My goal is to get to a healthy and very mobile size. Not that I'm not mobile...I can move and stuff, but when you carry around an extra hundred or so pounds, you can't be able to move as well as if you DIDN'T have that weighing you down. I think that since I'm about a month into this weight loss journey, I'm doing pretty well. I'm could be doing better but I also could have given up already and NOT lost weight, so that's worth something, ay?

13 pounds is awesome!! But I agree, it's all about how you feel. :) It's important to remember too that you're also probably building muscle when you're exercising, which weighs more than fat! (So you're making even more progress than the scale really reflects, or at least that's how I like to look at it.) I know when I work out after I haven't in a long time, I'm always frustrated at first because the scale number doesn't really change, sometimes it even goes up by a couple of pounds, but in a couple months I look in the mirror and realize, "oh that looks different in a good way", and that all makes it worth it, even if it's a change so small only I can tell. :)
