147.6

I have been eating whatever I want for the past two weeks. I haven't been going crazy, but I had fast food probably 4-5 times these past 14 days and I started buying soda for the house again. I just got so sick of worrying about every calorie I was consuming and rebelled against it a bit.

I skipped my weigh in last week and promised to do better this week. I did a bit better, but not all that much. So, imagine my surprise when this morning I got on the scale dreading the number and I was still at the same weight as two weeks ago!

I mentally prepared myself for the weigh in. I knew I had to do it because otherwise I would keep eating fast food and not take responsibility as the pounds packed back on. I told myself that even if I was 153 and had gained 6 pounds, I would still have lost 13 since the beginning of the year and that is something to be proud of.

I am just so happy that I did not meet with a set back. A plateau after eating the way I have is more than I could have dreamed of!

Today is my 23rd birthday and I am happy with my body for the first time I can remember. I enjoy looking at myself in the mirror and have no negative self talk or body image distortions. I look great because I worked my butt off to look great and I am so proud of what I have accomplished in so short a time.

My birthday present to me: a rockin' bod.

Here's to years of healthy living and happiness.
