Well week 4 is on us already in the Chris and Heidi Challenge.  I am so amazed at how fast it came.  I remember in the past when I would go on a diet, 4 weeks seemed like an eternity.  This has flown by and I have stayed the couse the entire time.  I have had my bad days, just like everyone else. I have learned form those days.  I expect more bad day to come, but I think there will be fewer than I think.

Some of the body changes I am noticing is super great.  When you are over 300lbs just doing some of the every day daily tasks that we all take for granted is much harder and complicated.  I am able to put my shoes on easier, I can bend down and pick something I droped much better and just walking around the house is easier.  My mother even commented yesterday that I am walking better.  I don't feel like am waddling around any more.  Yes after I work out hard, my legs don't want to move as well, but its getting better everyday.

Even through I reached my 4% goal already I am nowhere near my utimate goal and I am going to keep on going.  One step one meal one day at a time. 

My appetite has changed also.  I think that is becaue of my new mindset.  Yes I still want the bad stuff at times.  It is easier and easier to by pass it.  The few items I have had just doesn't taste as I had in my mind.  Part of that is because I think I ate fast, now I am eating slower and really tasting my food.  Not just filling my stomach, or stuffing my emotions.  Good food tastes so much better than the junk I was eating before.

What changes are you seeing in yourself, has your body changed, your mindset changed?  I hope so, I know it has for me.  Look back at where you began and where you are now and you will be so surpised at the accomplishments you have achived. 

If you are just starting, don't focus on what you used to be able to do, or what you want to be doing, but focus on what you can do, and do it your best, and push yourself a little harder each day.  You will be surpirised in how little time you are doing better, getting stronger and doing more,  Keep it going.  We all can do this.
