This month as been so frustrating for me for many reasons! But mostly with my weight loss. The weight is still coming off but so slowly!! And then Sunday afternoon it hit me.

I was talking in church with friends about our family thanksgiving and then we got on the subject of weight loss. And I was telling about how slow it is now. And on the way home it was like someone slapped me on the back of the head. I figured it out!

I forgot to be thankful..........
With every pound that I lost I was thankful. Even if it was 1/2 a pound. And when I stopped being thankful, the weight stopped coming off. Since then everyday I get on the scale and its gone down 1 pound. Its only Wednesday and I've lost 3 pounds this week. I haven't done anything else differently. I've just remembered that as with anything else in your life that if you forget to be thankful for all that god has done, good things stop happening.

So with renewed faith. And weight loss determineation I am hoping to be at 200 by Nov. 30th. I really think that my christmas goal of 195 is achieveable. Wish me luck!!!

91.6 kg Lost so far: 0.9 kg.    Still to go: 10.0 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
