I'm noticing a way flatter stomach and slimmer arms and legs. I'm not exactly where I want to be yet, but I'm a little less embarrassed to take off my shirt in front of my boyfriend. And here's the truth: I don't starve myself and I don't eat salad all day, everyday. But what I do is make a decision between having leftover cake for breakfast or a banana. I always choose the banana. And I honestly feel better! It's not like I never enjoy fast food either. It's just that I always get grilled chicken sandwiches or a large salad instead of deep-fried fat. The thing I'm most strict about is snacking and sodas. Of course every once in a while I'll take a sip of my boyfriend's Dr. Pepper, but I never get my own. 99% of everything I drink is water. And not just when I'm thirsty; I'm obsessed with water. I like cleansing the toxins from my body. My skin looks better and I pee a lot. Soda is just not good. Ever since I watched Super Size Me, and I saw how much sugar is in a 2 liter... no. Just no. It feels good to make lifestyle changes. I've always tried crash diets or excessive workouts and noticed that when you have unrealistic expectations and put too much pressure on yourself, you usually let yourself down. Yea, it's a process and it'll take time, but months from now I'll be glad I made these changes. The fact that my arms are slimmer and my tummy is shrinking is enough to keep me going. :)
