I'm so happy! I posted here a couple weeks ago about setting a goal of losing JUST 5 lbs. And WOW! I did it omg! I didn't think I could but then I did! This is going to change everything.

I made this post: x

I've never ever been able to lose weight before. This is the first time I've ever lost any weight on purpose. I can't believe I actually did it. I know it's a small goal but it's really big for me. This is the first time I've ever been able to stick to something like this, and I'm even more proud because I lost this weight over the holidays-- and I even indulged in tons of holiday food like eggnog, cake, pastry, and wine! In the past, if I took a "cheat day" or fell off the wagon for even 1 day, that would be IT for my whole diet. One slip-up was enough to convince me that I didn't have the willpower. But this time, even though I was eating holiday treats and going over my calorie goals, I just logged my food and exercise for the day anyways.

My clothes already fit a little different. I'm building muscle from working out. I used to be a very strong, athletic person when I was a teenager. I got so depressed in college, and even more depressed in grad school, and that made it really hard for me to take care of myself. I missed using my body and moving a lot. I feel good. I'm going to set a new goal for 5 more lbs.
