God Is With Me

THis is day 3 and I lost 4 pounds!!! Now I know how much I was overeating each day!  I looked up my Sunday afternoon Subway sandwich and it turns out it was 1000+ calories!  I had no idea!  The other week I made a declaration to a friend, I said, "I want to lose weight but I am not going to count calories."  Well, those two things have to go together in order to wrok properly.  I have to count calories so that I can stay on track and be successful in losing weight.  I am hoping I won't always have to do this, but if I do, it is a small sacrifice of time and effort in the big picture of being healthy once and for all.  My stomach is growling in the a.m. now and I look forward to meals that I am preparing from fresh ingredients.  I even canceled my Monday night standard Taco Bell order this week as I made a delicious meal at home.  So this is all going in the right direction and I am so excited!  I so appreciate all the people who have friended me on here and have reached out with their positive encouragement.  I feel as if I have my own personal cheerleading squad!  Thank you FitClick for your wonderful website that is at no cost to me, I really appreciate it!!!!
