It's Good to be ME!
I woke up this morning, and stepped on the scale. I lost another 2 lbs. which of course THRILLED me. But the next thing that happened was more important. I looked in the mirror and saw myself for me.
My husband and I went to a party last night. The host was "spinning tunes" (so-to-speak) and I walked down to where he was to chat. A friend and I were hanging out there and suggesting songs WE wanted to hear (maybe or maybe-not to the crowds delight). Anyway, after awhile he started getting - "What was THAT???" about our song selections. He looked at us and told everyone - "If these two were standing next to you, wouldn't you do whatever they wanted too??"
Sure, it was nice. It was flattery. It was a good party host. But in that sentence I remembered what I "used" to hear all the time. It was motivation.
So I stepped on the scale this morning, and with 2 more pounds gone stared at myself in the mirror. It ain't much (what I've lost so far) but I am starting to actually see it. I actually can look at myself and think you're doing something here, and visualize the goal. I am believing more and more.
If I can change my mind, I can change my body!!

You have such a great attitude...I think that's the biggest predictor on whether or not people lose weight (and keep it off). Keep it up!!
