Ruthie’s Step 3: Let’s keep track….
Let’s take a picture. This is a marvelous way to document your journey. It is great to look at yourself when you start and during the process. Make a graph with the date you start and watch that graph line move! Keep track of all that you eat and drink. This is a major step! That way if you’re not progressing sometimes you can look at your tracker and see where you can change a food choice. This is also a way to see just how much you are eating. I have done this every day of my journey. It has helped me when my weight loss stalls. Sometimes I will need to cut out a dairy product or a starch, etc. Increase my water or add variety.
Measurements are great if you can do this in the same spot every time. I personally don’t do this because it is hard to get it in the same spot. I know I am loosing inches by my clothes and that is good enough for me.
Just think of the new clothes you will be getting! I look forward to the day I can buy the basic colors and just add to my wardrobe not buy different sizes all the time. I have had so many people giving me clothes! It is like going to a store! Wow! New shoes too! I have gone from 8 and half wide to an 8 regular. I am starting to fit into in some mediums now. I just can hardly believe it! I am excited as you can tell! I started at a 4x. You can do it if I can; I am a former binge eater. Take control and do this!
