Ladies,
I told my husband that on the days I am feeling down about my weight, I will carry a backpack around that weighs exactly what I have lost to that point. It’s so easy to get down about our weight. We want immediate gratification. We don’t see the loss so much because we look at ourselves daily. Next time your feeling down, try it out. It may just amaze you at how much you were carring around not that long ago.
That is an interesting idea! Hmmmm…

Ha!! I should have done that on Friday. I’ve lost almost 50 lbs since my daughter was born (granted now over 2 years ago but still lol). I’m not sure I have 50 lbs worth of stuff that would fit in a back pack and I doubt one of my kids would let me cart them around all day. I’ll have to think about this though….I like the idea!

Okay. I just put 20 pounds of canned goods in a wal-mart bag. I can’t believe that I had THAT on my body just two months ago. No wonder I feel so springy!! And I have three more bags to go!
