06-Weeks Afterwards

06 Weeks Afterwards (124 lbs  56 Kg)

124 lbs going up again. I went to a conference wearing a comfortably fitting expensive suit. Last year I wore the same suit to a different event and I was very uncomfortable because it was tight in all the wrong places and the zipper pinched my skin. I felt ugly in it and it showed in the way I carried myself. At this conference the suit was not tight at all I could even close the buttons.  I was confident, friendly, and it showed in my executive presence.

That difference fueled my will to pass up the majority of snacks. In the past I would have had no problem reaching for a buttered bagel, high sugar fruit juices, or sodas to keep my energy up. This time I looked for water, the veggie trays, snacks with protein like crackers with tuna pate, and of course coffee (especially at 2pm). It was hard finding these healthy snacks, but they were there. Knowing that by making that conscious decision of searching for better food choices means I wear the clothes in my closet and carry myself well in professional settings.
