Adjusting perception, not waistline

Had a fabulous talk with my nutritionist yesterday. I came in with food logs that showed I was not eating exactly as I've been told. I drank wine almost every day and sometimes a beer. I ate more starches and more fat and more protein. And yet... I feel great. I feel amazing at the place I am now. I am not where I said I would go. And well, so what?

Finally, I like the body I'm in now!

It's not the size I was going for, but it's at least 2 sizes under what I was. I have a waist! I see myself in the mirror and I SMILE! This me is a good me. Yes, I'm going to keep up my logs and watch what I eat. Yes, if I stay at least "close" to my plan I'll keep loosing. It won't be obvious. And thats just fine.

I've learned to think about my food choices. I'm not going to eat sugary foods, much. I'm not going to eat foods high in fat, much. What I am going to do is gauge my activity level against my food. Active = more food. More food= more active. As long as I am more active than what I eat, my weight will go down. If it's equal, I'll stay at the weight I am.

Drepession for me is a big factor in how I eat, so I'll always need to pay attention to that. And if I start feeling like I'm fat (when I'm not) I need to come back and read this.

If I don't loose another ounce, I'm perfect just the way I am.
