I realized this morning that although I lost 14 pounds, I feel like I lost 100. I have become a brand new person. I eat better, I like to go to the gym and exercise, my motivation has increased, I have more energy, and all in all, my life is better! I never dieted either...not one day since this started. I have no idea how many calories I eat, how many points I consume, or how much fat I eat. All I know is that I have egg white omelettes with a little cheese and lots of peppers, onions, and broccoli in the morning, have a salad or a wrap for lunch, have whatever I want for dinner, and have desert. The only thing I do is have a little less and only eat what I really want. If I want stir fry, I have it. But then I realized...why do I eat the rice? I don't really want it too badly, it brings me no joy, satisfaction, or extra fullness...why not get extra broccoli. That mindset of non-deprivation and healthier eating (as well as anywhere from 10-60 minutes at the gym every day/every other day/every 3 days...whenever I feel like) is what has allowed me to change my life. I don't make myself do anything...if I don't want to go to the gym, I don't. I refuse to make it a chore.
