Anyone else feel like their live revolves around numbers lately? Here are some of the numbers swirling around in my head:

5 - number of points in the 1 “snack” bag of chips I ate today… why?!?

24 - My target points for the day (for 7.6 more lbs)

16 - Number of weeks I’ve been on plan (woo hoo!)

14 - the size of jeans I am hoping to fit into S00N!

7 - the number of weeks left until I go to HAWAII!! (working to be at my 10% by then)

0.9 - the amount of weight I’ve lost the last 3 weeks in a row.

I have a love/hate relationship with the numbers. Without them, I would still be 29 yrs old and 50 lbs overweight. With the numbers, I am learning how to eat the right foods, in the right portions, and to set and meet realistic goals. I am still overweight, but becoming less so with each day. Without the numbers, I would still feel like I was spiraling out of control and watching my body become something that the didn’t represent the person I feel like inside. The numbers are there every day. Sometimes they betray me and taunt me elude me. Other times, they seem to magically appear or to go the direction I want them to go. I need the numbers. The numbers are helping me get to where I want to be. Hope your numbers are taking you where you want to go to.
