You are very perceptive to realize what you've been doing, and I'm here to tell you it does change. I was walking to get my coffee this morning, mulling over all the BS that accumulates, as it always does, and I remembered that I never dreamed I'd be wearing these size pants, and how nicely I coordinated my wardrobe this morning. Not that I'm a fashion plate, but having a closet full of clothes that fit can make a big difference.
It is a great feeling to be in control of things you CAN control. But our health, and our eating habits, should certainly be one of them.
Maybe it was silly that I patted myself on the back a little, just for losing weight...but it does spill over into a lot of other areas. Just as when you neglect it, it spills over too!
So take a pat on the back from me, and remember that you are right. The mental work is just as important as the physical.
