8 Week Progress: It's All Mental

It's officially 8 weeks today since I began this Figure quest. I'm down approximately 22 lbs. but more importantly have completely mentally switched from struggling with the diet to acceptance of the fact that this is what it takes. Same foods. Same diet. Same me. So what's the difference between mid-July and now? It's all mental. As always, a favorite quote comes to mind:
"Things do not change. We change."
- Henry David Thoreau

Rock on! 22 pounds - that is AMAZING! You are looking great. And I tell you - the food is getting easier. I agree! Like I said - almost comfort food.

Can I plug myself? LOL. Uhm - I have a give-away for Restore Clothing on my site. Some goooooood activewear. Come enter or at least check it out?

Also - for shorts I am loving compression shorts. They have some at MovingComfort.com

Keep up the great work. I love your progress!

It's all mental and attitude! Go girl! 22 pounds is awesome, you great and hey you get to shop for new clothes. You'll love the way you look and feel in a smaller, tighter fitting pairs of jeans. What a seasonal uplifter, as summer comes to an end. Keep working hard and please give me some encouraging words. This week has been rough.
