50 POUNDS!

I can't believe that it's been a month since I've blogged (is that a word?). I have been overwhelmed running my insurance business. My assistant quit, I'm training a new assistant, and my best employee cut her hours. I should be working right now. I just thought I'd add a bit to my blog. I met with Dr. Smith for the first time last month. He is amazing! He spent over 30 minutes with me. He pointed out that I was on a weight loss plateau--I didn't even know--he asked me what I was eating and I told him. The answer was simple but I didn't think of it on my own. I had lost 38 pounds and I was eating the same amount of calories that I ate to lose the 40 pounds. I needed to cut my calories because I was maintaining my weight eating the same amount of food. It makes sense! So I started eating less calories and the first week I dropped 10 pounds. Last week I shed 3 pounds. It almost feels like I started over again. I feel great! I keep telling myself that this is my new eating habit and I will eat like this the rest of my life. I know I can do it! I love feeling good. I just try not to think of the fact that I have at least 70 more pounds to go. I love what Fountain of Youth has done for me! I wish I had found the program 10 years ago. When I think of how much time and money I spent trying to lose weight on my own I just shake my head. I know I couldn't do this without the Fountain of Youth program.
