The Program

I felt very confident today when I looked down at the scale and saw that I have lost 50 pounds.... I still can't shake the feeling of where do I go from here? What do I do now? Even though I am more aware of what I am eating now and I exercise more often I still feel anxious a lot of the time. I've been so negative on myself for so long that instead of being my own cheerleader I am at times my own saboteur. I am pleased and surprised that I made it through thanksgiving and christmas without gaining weight. In fact I even lost a few pounds. I just need to make it through new years and I will be home free. I have passed the first milestone to my 150 pound weight loss needs. I don't want to think about 150 pounds because it makes the task seem to daunting. I instead want to think of my progress in 4 parts. I have already passed the 1/4 mark and I am now approaching the 1/2 mark. I have done it without the benefit of weight loss surgery or drugs. It has been a very hard road and I am trying to look to the future with a smile on my face.
