73 pounds gone!

Wow.  I've lost 14 pounds this month, which makes a total of 73 pounds gone.  It looks like the healthy eating and exercising are paying off!

As usual, the self doubt is quick to creep into my thoughts.  "Yes, you've lost 73 pounds but you have so much more to lose."  "Yes, you've lost 73 pounds but can you continue to lose until you're at a normal weight and maintain it for the rest of your life?"

This is when I have to make the conscious decision to take this one step at a time.  I have to tell myself - yes, you can do this!!  I have to remind myself that the healthy choices I'm making now are setting the pace for a lifetime of good health.

Yes, I can do this.
