Well ladies, we have completed another week in our journey to find skinny.

I feel good about myself. There's not a huge difference in my weight or measurements but I can feel a difference in how my clothes are fitting and that lets me know that I am making progress and it feels good. I feel sexy. I feel better about getting dressed up and going out. Hell, I feel better about putting on my jeans and staying home. It makes me feel good to have my husband look at me instead of feeling ashamed of how fat I had let myself get.
It makes me feel strong to say I walked every day this week and never went over 1400 calories.

And, we are just getting started.

An amazing things happened last night at the CD release party.
Mark and Seth had left early to go set up. Levi was meeting us there so I fixed Emily and I a salad before we left. Soon after we got to the church they brought in a boat-load of pizza. I love pizza but to my utter amazement I had absolutely no desire to eat. It wasn't that I had to fight the desire and be hungry all night... I had no desire.

Now, that felt good.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Mark is in the studio today and tomorrow we are having company. I think I will go to grocery store and get the stuff to make something decadent for desert.

much love,
A

That is so awesome A! I don't know that I am to that point yet, but I do know that if given a healthier option, I do have the power to chose it!
We are doing amazing things for our bodies and ourselves!

Now that is self-control! It's cool that you were able to avoid "mindless eating."

It's very cool that you are feeling better about yourself, too.

I am truly impressed! Turning down pizza would be killer for me. Although I understand the surprise at not wanting stuff. I had been craving a latte, and I got one, but then I was sick of it before I finished it. It's wonderful how we're changing.
