This thing called a diet!

I am totally amazed.......not even four months ago I went to the doctor and was told that I was a whooping 198 pounds.....I don't know what happened that day, but something sparked me that I needed to change my lifestyle and do something. Since that day, I have been watching my diet, not drinking pop, drinking a ton of water, not eating candy and chocolate AND yesterday I was able to go to Younkers and splurge on myself and buy myself two pairs of Tommy Hilfger jeans (they were actually 50% off), BUT I was able to fit in to a size 12 jeans. I ALMOST FELL OVER, when I grabbed a size 16, 14, and 12 and the 12 fit. I have not been able to wear a size 12 jeans since my very early high school days....possibly maybe when I was 14 years old. My goal is to get down at least 25 more pounds, so I am going to keep on this track and hopefully be down to where I want to be by spring. So, as of this morning I am a whole 168 pounds.........that is a weight loss of 30 pounds already! That is 30 pounds in less than five months..........that is a whole lot of fat burning going on! That is also a drop of four to five pant sizes......I was a size 20 before and now a size 12 to 14.......I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! I feel so good and my body image is becoming something I am more impressed with rather than trying to hide it under big baggy clothes!
