Things I'm Learning . . .

If you had told me any of the following last year, I would have told you that you were nuts.
But there are a few things I'm learning about myself over the course of this journey . . .

• Shirts that used to be tight and are now loose are not very flattering.
• Ditto for swimsuits.
• Two tablespoons of cream are more than enough for coffee.
• Egg whites are really good.
• Quinoa, chicken breast, and squash is an ultimate comfort food.
• I am a lot stronger than I give myself credit for.
• I love the water and I love to swim.
• One (actual) serving-sized serving of something is MORE than enough to satisfy.
• Carrots and laughing cow Garlic Herb is the world's greatest snack (and an answer to chips and dip!)

I am still struggling with tracking and measuring EVERYTHING, but I'm getting better. 

I guess, in a sense, I'm following Weight Watcher's "simply filling" without thinking about it.

I still have to count my chips.

I still have to eat ONE brownie instead of five.

But I've learned that I CAN do these things - and now, I do them without thinking about.

It's become automatic.

And that feels pretty good.
