A small little benchmark today: this morning's weight-in resulted in another 2 pound loss, and thus making a total of 30 pounds lost since starting this diet over 3 months ago at the back end of April!
I still have another 11 or 12 pounds left to lose in order to reach my interim target; but to lose a total of 30 pounds in 13/14 weeks feels quite significant, especially when one visualises exactly what 30 pounds looks like, and to realise that that's what I was carrying around as extra baggage at the turn of this year!
As an example, I rummaged through my kitchen cupboards and found a fresh packet of self-raising flour, weighing in at 1.25kgs. 30 pounds works out at at just under 14kgs. So that's equals out to around 11 bags of flour I've subsequently lost!
It's only when you visualise such things that you realise exactly how much you've lost, and how much you've been carrying around. Obviously I don't have 11 bags of flour in my cupboard, but to actually weigh just one in my hand, and then appreciate what a further 10 would weigh like in my hand(s) just makes it even more important it is to lose all this excess burden and give one's heart a rest!
Anyway, there's still plenty of hardwork left to do, but this landmark has encouraged me even more. And my tip to my fellow dieters is to buy a packet of 1.2kg flour (or any other food item of similar weight), and just appreciate the amount of excess bulk you could be losing on a weekly/monthly basis by following a good diet!
Good luck!
