I LOVE that you're feeling the change in the fit of your clothes. That's a biggie!

Changing your life completely forever is really hard but I'm trying to see it in smaller, more manageable, daily goals. <br /><br />Last night though, I totally chose the pizza ;)Michelle Longohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437193620480920753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244020003053532919.post-34987522189549100612012-10-01T07:16:47.718-04:002012-10-01T07:16:47.718-04:00I don't like shopping either.

We spent 10 hours at the mall and I had 3 friends to help pick stuff. By the time we got to the last hour and I had almost no shirts and no shoes, I almost cried. Now I buy a piece here and there, I'll never spend 10 hours shopping again!Michelle Longohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437193620480920753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244020003053532919.post-17325118031135853782012-10-01T07:14:20.784-04:002012-10-01T07:14:20.784-04:00Aww, thank you!

Believe me when I tell you most days it is so hard and I want to give up - that's why I love that quote so much about not wanting to start over. It's giving me the motivation to not quit today.

Sigh. But at least I can get some more mileage out of what I have!<br /><br />My weekend goals are to be reasonable with my calorie intake. I'm never reasonable when alcohol is involved, so truthfully I'm avoiding it because of the calories in it and the poor food choices I make when I drink. So it is really a full time avoidance, but if I'm going to have a drink, I'm definitely keeping it to the weekend. <br /><br />Thanks for such a nice comment!!Michelle Longohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437193620480920753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244020003053532919.post-10665306474810911902012-09-28T15:46:52.332-04:002012-09-28T15:46:52.332-04:00I am feeling good about things.
