- the smell of bacon and coffee from the kitchen in the morning.
- scoring on reduced meat and cheese at the grocery store
- strawberries and whipped cream
- buying and trying "mystery cheese" sold as cold cut ends.
- chicken wings and a low carb beer
- a crisp, cold salad on a hot day
- a bowl of hot beef stew on a cold day
- a long walk
- doing everything on your "to do" list before lunchtime
- appreciating everything you can do, now that you have the energy to do it.

(keep going...)

....feeling so awake all the time
....the energy, oh yeah!!!!
....asking for a smaller size
....I second you on those long walks
....seeing people on this forum getting closer and closer to their goals
....my friends here

Hugs, Kristine!

...not having to shop in plus size stores.
...having my kids beg my food instead of carby alternatives.
...hearing "hey skinny!" from co-workers.

*****the smell of fall in the air again
*****knowing that i am reaching my goals
*****keeping off the pounds
*****giggling with good pals
*****waveriding
*****dancing til the wee hours
