I must say that I am pretty pleased.  I lost 2.5 pounds this week which is great as I hadn’t felt that I had been focusing enough.  Having said that maybe now after 20 weeks my new eating habits are really really becoming habits and so even when I am not constantly thinking about my diet I am now naturally making better choices about what to put in my mouth!

I also had a a couple of different things happen this week which I feel really good about!

The first was when I got a phone call from a friend saying that they have been reading my blog and now feel inspired to change themselves and shed those pounds that are making them sad!  I was bowled over to say the least!  I started writing this blog more as a way to keep me on track….a public declaration each week which can only motivate me to stick with it when things get tough.  So for someone to tell me that I have inspired them has really touched my heart and given me another reason to carry on.  Thank you Anita and I look forward to your success too!

The other thing that happened was that I finally took a close up picture of me from my webcam and updated my Facebook picture.  I got a message from someone I worked with years ago telling me how great I looked and then a couple of other people said the same too!  Check out my picture on the About page!

So if you’re wondering whether it’s worth the time and effort to shed those pounds I can tell you for sure that it MOST DEFINITELY IS!

Here’s to looking and feeling great!
