Celebrating

I feel like something is missing... how about 6 pounds of me!!! Gone, just like that, in one week! First week weigh-in this morning and I could hardly believe my eyes - 197! Remember when I was feeling so ambivalent about finally breaking 200? Not anymore. It feels so good! It has been a very long time and I can feel my body thanking me. What a fantastic reward for a very challenging first week.

Also, losing 6 pounds in one week is CRAZY!?! No wonder I was feeling so hungry and tired and grumpy! Definitely a confirmation for me that I made the right switch by starting this diet for nursing moms. The weight loss will be slower week to week but way more doable and way more healthy while I'm still nursing my little one. I've been on it now for 2 days and feeling so much better - no headaches, less hunger, more energy. I have found the right fit for me. 

One week down, six pounds lost. Six is a significant number for me regarding my weight loss story. Part of my story includes an eating disorder. And the number six back then was 6% body fat. But that's for another post. 

Tonight I celebrate. Feeling very grateful. I am on the right path. And that much closer to the healthy woman I want to be.

How should we celebrate tonight?! Join me!
