Default Feeling hopeful

Isn't it amazing that at almost 300 lbs, a 7 lb loss can feel like I'm thinner already? It is amazing at how just this small step has lighened my mental load and gotten me thinking in a positive direction. Took my family out for a small walk today, another small step, but a huge mental hurdle has been crossed. I am learning how to do this diet cheaply and getting my family to eat healthier without them even knowing it!!!! 6 days down, a lifetime to go, but I realize that it's all mental and I have to have the tools readily available to fight the battle.

Sending good low carb thoughts your way.
Robin

It's great that you feel so positive Robin! And it'll get better and better as you go along. Isn't it motivating when you feel yourself shrink? Nothing like it!
Congrats on your 7lbs gone forever!!
