This morning I weighed 218.7 pounds. That is 37% less than I weighed this day last year. Tonight, I am celebrating my one year anniversary of better living with a Coney Dog and french fries.
Part of me thinks, "You can't have a Coney! You just binged yesterday! You weigh the exact same you did a month ago! You haven't earned that Coney!"
Shut up, voice. I have made many good decisions this year. I've made plenty of bad ones, too. This is a celebration of time spent, not a number on the scale. Time spent is what I really need, in fact. In the past, I've never been able to sustain loss. I need to remember to keep working, keep moving forward.
Oh and the fact that I'm having a Coney and half an order of fries is miles ahead of the patty melt and full order that I would have gotten last year. It fits in my calorie goal for the day, and I'm going to enjoy every bite. So there.

Enjoy that Coney. Healthy living is not about deprivation. It's about smart choices. And smart choices is not always going to mean a salad and baked fish.
Big Hugs!
