It's a nice feeling.

It’s almost three months since I’ve started this blog, and the changes I’ve made are immeasurable. I noticed another one this morning. I put on a cute black and white lace top, and JC told me she loved that shirt, and maybe I should wear it to this fancy baby shower I’m going to on Saturday instead of today (it’s for a former co-worker, and a couple of current co-workers will be there). I thought she had a good point, and put on a different top instead. Then it hit me – I wasn’t worried about what to wear on Saturday, I haven’t given it a thought until this morning. Before, I would have obsessed for a month prior over what would possibly look good on me, and become depressed because I realized I didn’t really have any options. Just cover myself up, and try my best.

It is so FREEING to not worry about what I will wear. I have lots of cute clothes that fit me right now. I’m far from my goal weight, but I still feel good about myself again. I’m looking forward to this shower at a beautiful place (Giando on the Water in Brooklyn overlooking the East River), and looking forward to socializing. I’m not dreading it because of the way I look, or how embarrassed I am of myself. I have a lot more to go on this weight loss path, but I’m enjoying myself along the way.

  2. This is the best post ever!!!

    I love that you said you are enjoying yourself along the way. Too often people think losing weight is a long and horrible task and use that as an excuse to not get started.

    Have fun enjoying the fruits of your labor!!!!!!

  3. I have to agree with Jenn. So long I was focused on the end goal, and saying, "THEN I'll enjoy myself." I've found along the way it's worth enjoying while you go. Congrats on 3 months!!

  5. I agree with everyone else, the journey can be fun in itself and definitely keeps you motivated rather than focusing only on that last goal. Awesome!

  6. I am so happy that you are enjoying yourself on this journey. I am new to reading your blog, but so far I am loving it. That is a lesson I still need to learn. I haven't lost much yet, but I need to allow myself to have fun now instead of waiting for goal. Thank you so much for your post.
