One pound a week is slow, but I am pleased to be losing and not gaining. I enjoy working out and feeling strong. I hate sweating though.
I am contemplating buying clothes in a smaller size to have something to look forward to wearing... but I am not sure if that falls into motivation or punishment with me. I would like to think motivation. But the smaller size makes me think better of myself, and therefore dislike myself at my current spot-- because I am not yet at the place to wear said clothes.
I have just talked myself out of that all together. :D
Things I need to work on:
On the weekends, I indulge. I don't think overly-- but enough that I feel I should reign it in a little. My goal will be to indulge less on the weekends. That is my goal for now. That and keep up all the good I am doing working out and eating better during the week.
I need to add more veggies into my diet. I need to eat more frequently. All things I am working on. I need to drink more water. Less coffee ( um, yeah)
One thing at a time-- that thing is less indulging.

I won't buy clothes smaller than I am because I get frustrated... I do however have a bunch of Shirts in my closet waiting for the day they can be wore again!

I'm also trying to eat more frequently, at least every 3 hours. It can be a struggle.

One pound a week is great! The bonus is less hanging skin because you're losing it slowly. I know you're seeing very small changes, but they will add up. I completely agree that you shouldn't buy clothes until they fit. I find it discouraging to have clothes I can't wear. I have a personal policy not to buy something until it fits. As much as I have had success losing weight consistently so far, I never want to assume it will continue, so by buying clothes only when they fit, it's the achievement of being a smaller size, not the achievement of FINALLY squeezing my ass into the clothes! LOL

Yes, the smaller clothes idea is out the window! I do have this tshirt I got at a concert-- it's one of those, I dont know if they still call them this, ladies baby-doll shirts. It's an XL-- truthfully it is more like a M, and when I put it on after I bought it, it was downright scandalous! So, wearing that without feeling like a sausage is something I look forward to.
Thanks for all the encouragement guys :)
