What a difference a year makes! For the past 3 weeks, I have not "felt" progress. A few days ago, my coach sent me a picture taken about a year ago and asked "can you see it now?". When I see me now (top right) I can see it! It amazes me that a few short months ago, I looked so different. Yes, the measurements and the scale have been about the same, but as they say a picture is worth a thousand words. It certainly is in this case! We should always look at ourselves, no matter the format, and see how we change.
Not only has my appearance changed, but my tastes have as well. The lovely desert I ate on my 51st birthday (and at least 3 times a week prior to it) is not something I indulge frequently now. It still looks beautiful, but my taste buds does not seek it out now. That full feeling is not my idea of satisfaction now. Not hungry works much better.
So, can I see it? I can! I can almost imagine my goal weight; well, not yet, but I'm trying. Oh, lovely motivation!
...and away we go!
Keep it up! I love the small doses of encouragement, we all need them! What a great coach you have!
