When I first started changing the way I ate, I could tell I was losing weight because of the way my clothes started fitting. I never started this journey with a goal weight in mind. If anyone would have said in about a year you will loss 130 lbs, I would have laughed. I started it by making changes to my lifestyle. It was about how I was feeding myself, dealing with stress, boredom, and loneliness. I knew my beginning weight because of my doctor appointments, in fact we didn't own a working scale. I could picture myself standing on it every morning, feeling discouraged because the needle didn't budge. I'd then feel depressed because I hadn't lost anything, so I'd feed that depression with....you get the picture.
4 months after James birth, I would weigh myself about once every 3 weeks. That's all. Even today my weight can fluctuate 10 pounds in a day, so I don't bother. I go by how I feel mentally and physically- how my clothes feel. This past weekend, I came across some photos to share. I need to scan them in and will weight to do that at home. But here are a few my parents had on their computer.
