Small Goals Become A Big One

For 8 months I have slowly been putting in place the small steps of weight loss/health gains.

  • Trimming portion sizes
  • Slowly lowering the amount of sugars and fats (Still keeping some though)
  • Breaking with soda (hard)
  • Increasing my water intake
  • Walking.  Not far but regularly
  • Keeping everything going - not that easy, a couple of boo-boos.'
And yesterday I reaped the rewards.

28pounds / 13.7kilograms down.

And I plan to lose a little more.  Not too much.  I want to be healthy, not thin.

My whole plan is about assisting my health and not being about losing weight.  
The side effect has some weight loss (Yay) - but the overall goal is to improve my health.

And yes, my health has improved.  And that is the better thing. I haven't felt so good in years.
And my depression is not bothering me.

Shalom all.

I am walking the same path, returning to a previous level of fitness. 160 lbs down so far, 40 more to go. Good job and good luck!

Instead of soda try canned seltzer. Not the flavored kind. It satisfies the craving for bubbles, but it has no sugar or salt or anything else. Just water with bubbles. If you find it too boring try a squeeze of lemon or orange.

Well done to you......no need to be anorexic just stay within a healthy weight to height ratio. Moderation is my motto.
