A Whole New Wardrobe without Shopping

So this year has been a year of productivity for me. My goal list is keeping me moving forward towards the person I want to be.

Weight loss is probably the most common new years goal, and it is on my list as well. I am making a conscious effort to lose weight and so far it is working. I have lost about 15 or 20 pounds already without any major work. No I am not taking a diet pill or doing some sort of trendy diet or cleanse system. I am simply trying to live a healthier lifestyle.

I have decreased the amount of food I eat to a more normal amount. Trust me I still eat whatever I want but I take the time to decide if I am really hungry or if I just want to eat. What a difference that has made. I am now aware of what feeling full feels like as opposed to feeling stuffed and sick from eating too much.

An unintentional side effect of the weight loss is the fact that I have lost enough weight to fit into some of my old clothing. It is so exciting to be able to wear shirts that I have not worn in more than a year. It is like a whole new wardrobe. I hate shopping so this is the best system ever. I get new clothes without shopping....and I know that they will fit me because they were my clothes to start with. Oh how wonderful life can be.

Here's to hoping that everyone achieves the goals they have set for themselves and that you enjoy the journey of reaching them :-) (maybe I'll post some before and after pictures of my weight loss in the next couple of months :-). )
