Here I am sitting 8 months after losing those 32 pounds you see written below (well, it was more but I gained 3 back a while ago) and realize it is HARDER to lose these last few pounds than to lose that first pound!

As I’m analyzing WHY this hasn’t come off yet, I’ve figured it out. I’m comfortable with where I am right now. It’s really the first time in my life I can honestly say I’m comfortable with my body. Well, there’s that whole issue with the muffin top, but that will NEVER go away (sorry, evenJillian ^[1]cannot help with that)so I’m accepting where I’ve arrived.

I STILL want to lose these last 8 pounds. It’s a goal I’ve made myself that I won’t give up on! But, when you get to the final 10, I think you either get really focused or get really comfortable. As you can see above, I’m the latter. I feel like for this goal of mine to become reality, I need to get focused once again.

So, next week (starting Monday) I am going to be tracking all of my foods again using the Sparkpeople ^[2]nutrition tracker. Of course, I’ll get exercise in – that’s never been my problem (I’m one of those sick people that enjoys exercise). So, next Friday, I’ll report back my food results for each day. Since it will be written down it will be easier. And, since I’m telling you I’m doing this, I should hold myself more accountable (or that’s my logic anyway :).

How did you do this week? Do you feel like you are focused enough to get those pounds off? With summer just around the corner, you could make a change today that will leave you feeling so much better about yourself come shorts and tank top season! If I can do it, anyone can!!
