When do you become satisfied with your success?
I have lost 50+ lbs and I still feel fat. If it wasn’t for my clothes size, I would still think that I was a size 18. Is it all psychological and unless you feel good about yourself you will never be satisfied? I do feel good about my success and love what I can do now; that I used to not be able to do, but I am just not satisfied. I want more. I want the body I have never had. The tone arms, legs, abs. I want to look amazing. Now I just have to figure out how to work the work-outs into my crazy busy life to get the success that I want. With two little kids and a husband that works crazy hours it is hard for me to fit it in. I am going to come up with a workout schedule to start some strength training exercises to do at home. Hopefully, I can get the kidlets to do it with me. Well it is time to go home from a long day at work. Happy Monday.

I’m not sure if anyone is truly satisfied with their weight loss. After all, we can’t change certain things. For example, I will still be an apple shape after my weight loss, just a smaller apple =). So, I focus on the positive things, like the fact that I can get into some summer clothes and jeans that I could not wear last summer rather than the double chin I have through bad genetics (and probably will still have at my ideal weigh of 150 pounds, just a smaller double chin…)
I have a two year old and balance him and the hubby with school. Getting out to exercise at lunch or after the toddlers bed time is a must. It gives you a mood boost and a better self esteem, it really is worth getting into the exercise habit.
