Today I Can Tell a Difference!

Yeah!  I got dressed this morning in clothes I haven't worn lately and to my surprise and delight, I can tell a difference in how they fit!!  How exciting!  Not a huge difference, but a difference nonetheless so at least I feel like I'm on the right track.  Little things like this keep me motivated.

I am beginning to wonder why I didn't swear off sweets a long time ago.  Anyone who knows me knows that I always give up sweets during Lent (along with a couple other things) and I don't really struggle with it during that time because it's a promise, a commitment I've made... to God (and myself).  This has been very like Lent (at least so far).  I'm not struggling with not eating the sweets, I don't hesitate when they're offered to me, I don't crave them when I'm passing them out to everyone else... because I've made a commitment to myself.  Huh.

Isn't it an amazing feeling to wear clothes you love again!!! I am hanging my skinny jeans up again. At the suggestion of a friend, I am hanging them in my kitchen so every time I cook or want to eat, I am reminded of where I am going!!!
