I've been on a mission to drop weight and get back to my healthy self since the end of last year.
I haven't been to the gym in over a month, but I have been consciously eating better and limiting the fast food I eat, meaning that sometimes that all I can afford, but I now will get a side salad with fat free dressing and a baked potato or hamburger with no mayo and no cheese.
So, after hearing from several people this week that haven't seen me in a while, that I've lost a lot of weight and that they almost didn't recognize me, I got on the scale.
I have proudly gone from 212 to 185 since the end of December I feel very accomplished and just elated at the moment!
Tonight, spaghetti with turkey sausage and salad for dinner with a small piece of garlic bread. One thing I've learned is you can't deprive yourself of the things you love to eat, you just eat less of it and not all the time. If it's something I know is really bad for me and I want it, I'll just eat a couple of bites and then snack on something much healthier to fill me up.
