After getting several comments about how much thinner I was looking (and not noticing it myself), I decided to take some progress pictures. Of course, rather than noticing the progress, I immediately focused in on my arm fat. My arm fat is by far the part of my body that I detest most. Blech. Anyway, I snapped out of it and realized that there IS progress! This is 3 weeks of progress!! I have been doing it! I have been working my program and doing a great job. This is a huge inspiration for me to just keep moving and plugging along. I am sure there has been weight and inches lost. I just have not done them yet. If the scale doesn't read the way I think it should, I do not want that to negate the obvious progress I see in these pictures. I let the scale have waaaay too much power.
I have been thinking a lot lately about how much I am growing as a person. I talked about it a lot this afternoon when I met with my therapist. (Yes, I see a therapist...) With his help, I came to the following realizations...
I also decided that...
Ok, so how many of you instantly started singing the song when you saw this? I did. haha.
So, what about you? What are you proud of today?
Progress Pictures are THE best thing to take during a weight loss journey. I had the exact same problem where I thought I wasn't getting anywhere and you realise how far you've come when you look at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great and there's a HUGE difference between the two photos and especially in just 3 weeks. Well Done!
