Baby Steps

I started my weight loss (lifestyle change) after reading Chris Johnson’s book "On Target Living." In the book it tells you to take baby steps and that is what I do. That means give up one thing at a time. I gave up deserts first and started watching my portion sizes. Then I gave up breads and the list goes on and on. But the main thing is not to try giving up everything at once.  It took me a whole year to get where I’m at now so don’t expect to lose all of your weight overnight. I also do baby steps as far as the weight loss is concerned. I lose ten pounds and then go for the next ten . When you reach the ten pound goal treat yourself with something that you like. I usually go shopping for a new outfit or two because my clothes are getting too big. It really makes me feel good to go down one or two sizes.

I'm still working on my 10lb goal. I've got about 3lbs still to go. I blame the weather for making this baby step take longer than I had hoped. But I won't be sidetracked. I think I have to go out and buy another new pair of jeans. My size 18's, that I bought just over a month ago are getting loose.
