I am reading a book called "The Dr. Beck diet solution"......learning to think like a thin person. I am also going through it with my Wellness coach each week. It's been wonderful so far. I have to read my reasons for losing weight every morning. I have to follow her tips daily, and plan my eatting and exercising. I can use any "diet" I want, along with her program. It's been simple to do and a lot of fun. I lost 6 lbs in the first 3 weeks so it's working. :)
As of this past week I have lost 36lbs, and 3 dress sizes. I went shopping on Saturday with birthday money and got some really cute clothes. It was actually fun to go shopping for the first time in a long time.
I am running my first 5K on Saturday. I am totally nervous because I am afraid that I won't do as well as I had planned. I am doing so much better than I was when I first started running, but when I begin to compare myself to others I realize how far I still have to go. Which bums me out. That's true with most every aspect of weight loss. The "it's not fair" syndrome. Which I talked about a few posts ago. Each day is a new day and I am taking one step at a time. And honestly I am really enjoying myself along the way. It's just a struggle that I will deal with for awhile.
So please keep on praying. I know that I have asked that a lot but it's all I know to do in a time of struggles. I want this to be a permanent change in me. I know I will always have to keep in in check, but I want a thin active lifestyle from her on out. For both me and my family.

Happy belated birthday!!! You go girl, 36lbs is AWESOME!!!!! I'm so excited for you to run your first 5K--you are going to do great! don't waste too much time comparing yourself to the fastest ones there . . . just think about the person you were a year ago and how far you've come. Congrats--it looks like you've broken through your weightloss wall and are going strong!!!
I will be praying for you and your 5k! That is so awesome that you are even attempting it! I love the feeling of trying on a smaller size and actually liking how I look in it! I went through a phase after having Cannon that I was the heaviest I have ever been and it was hard to adjust to, but now I have lost that weight and feel so much better! But you know as women we will always have a little more we want to lose! Haha! Good luck!
