Today was a big day for my sister. She officially has lost 100 pounds. She started about a year and a half ago, but she's done it. I can't help but be so proud of her - she has worked hard and been so inspiring to me and what I am trying to do. She has done everything the right way - through a proper diet and exercise. She is always there if I have questions and she has always been there to encourage me when I might be going through a struggle. Also, she's been there when I might have been to hard on myself to tell me that I can go out to dinner and have what I want occasionally. I credit her with teaching me that it is important to weigh your food, use measuring cups and spoons. That you have to keep up good habits and that its not going to happen overnight. She has really helped me to realize that I didn't become where I am overnight so its going to take some time to get where I want to be. She helps me realize that I need to set smaller goals; ones that are attainable. Also, she helped me to learn to take it one step at a time, that its hard to do everything perfectly. Master things slowly. Then add in other things. For me it was just getting used to eating less, then it was making my own food and not over eating and next its going to be incorporating more exercising in to my day.
In happier news, I tried on a pair of jeans that I previously could fit (but were pretty tight) and they were a tad too loose. I couldn't wear them all day. So that's pretty exciting for me!
