I am a tall gal, never really struggled with my weight. I was one of those girls who could drop 5lbs in a week with better eating and exercise.

Into my late thirties now, and this is the year I thought it had finally hit. No matter how well I ate these past 3 months, or what I did for activity, that stupid number on the scale (and the size of my waistband) never changed.

It’s not that I have a problem with what I am toting around, but I knew the skin I wanted to wear, the size I was proud to wear. It just seemed like I needed to change my expectations.

It has been 1 week since we made “our decision”

I have lost 3 lbs.

I don’t know if it is stress that increases my metabolism? Or if it is excitement.  I do feel like 3lbs of “weight” has been lifted from my soul though. I feel lighter. I feel like I can breathe again.

Personally, don’t really care… if drastic life decision is listed under “diet and weight loss plan” I guess it works for me!

Here’s to creative weight loss, and a totally unexpected benefit!
