Pep Talk

It has been three weeks since I've lost any weight.  I am trying very hard not to get discouraged. This is not the first time this has happened during my weight loss journey over the last nine months.  I need to be gentle with myself.  I need to remember that nine month ago a six 16 was tight.  Today a size 12 is loose.  I need to remember that 9 months ago, my blood pressure was high.  Today, my blood pressure is normal.  I need to remember that I used to sit and mindlessly eat.  Today I pay attention to everything I put in my mouth.  I eat mindfully.  I need to remember that nine months ago, I needed to lose 55 pounds.  Today, I only need to lose 21 pounds to reach my goal.
