I need to remember this phrase constantly because it's so true in my life. 

Last week was Thanksgiving so I was nervous to get on the scale Saturday. Total weight loss for the week was 2.2 pounds! I'm ecstatic with that. My weight loss for the two weeks back has been 5 pounds total. I know I won't continue to lose 2.2 pounds or more every week, because that's not healthy and The Biggest Loser is far from reality. But I can lose some weight every week, even if it's just .2 of a pound. My goal is to keep working at it every day so I make it a lifestyle instead of a diet. 

Today will be my first picture! I'm going to have Tim take a picture of me every month so I remember where I came from and how far I have come. What has most tripped me up in the past is only thinking of how far I have to go instead of how far I have come. I want to take one picture a month to remember the work I have done and remind myself I never want to be this unhealthy again.
