I'm feeling really good about the last couple of weeks. My outlook about losing weight is quite different this time around. It doesn't feel like such a chore and cutting back on the poor food choices hasn't saddened me like it has in the past. I went an entire week without a McDonalds sweet tea without thinking much of it and my "after the kids go to bed treat" hasn't been missed. I'm not sure what has made the difference, but I like the feeling because it gives me confidence to achieve my goal. Don't get me wrong, I still need to remind myself to be patient. Its only been 2 weeks and I already want that bikini bod. It'll be a while before I reach that milestone.
Its funny how when you improve your life in one area, it causes you to want to improve all around. I shaved my underarms two times this week (as opposed to one) and I flossed my teeth everyday instead of my usual 3-4 times a week. I'm even handling my money better, which gives me such a peace of mind. Extra weight really "weighs" you down in many areas of life. I'm only 4.5 lbs lighter than I was 2 weeks ago (btw, I lost 1.5 lbs this week, today was weigh-in), but my way of thinking has been completely transformed and I hope it stays that way.

That is so great! Congrats! I can totally concur. When you start losing weight, it just feels like you have a better grasp for all of life. It's nice to not be pregnant and finally able to loose the weight once and for all!!!
