I had a couple Non Scale Victories this week. I had several people comment on how they can see how much weight I have lost. When in reality I feel that although I have lost a lot of weight in the long run it really isn’t a dent. But people noticing is really good motivation. My clothes are starting to be baggy and I have to start thinking about going and buying smaller ones.

I am now getting to where I prefer my Chocolate Shakes. I actually am starting to crave them. I love sitting down to my shake and look forward to my next one. It amazes me how your taste buds change when you are trying to get away from things. I find myself wanting things other than the things I use to be craving before I started Medifast. I actually spent a little time researching our taste buds and reading about the physiology of them.

As always, I keep the goal in my mind and try to keep focused. I have heard a couple sayings about once you envision the goal it is within reach. There are so many motivational speakers out there that talk about something similar. As long as you know what you are reaching for you have more of a chance of obtaining it. This seems to help when it comes down to the parties at work and the what seems like weekly pig outs. This is when nasty little will power seems to disappear and I have the hardest time sticking with the program. But with the help of my coworkers, who know what I am trying to do, I normally get through it pretty well.
