The jeans fit!

I put on a pair of jeans this morning that I've had to squeeze into for the last 5 months and they fit properly!! I am so excited. The lunchtime workouts are paying off. I know that the scale has barely budged, but this is exciting. So far, I've worn 4 different pairs of pants that has some varying degree of fit and they are ALL fitting better. One pair in particularly feel too big to be wearing! That hasn't been a problem in a LOOOONG time!! Yeah!!!

I am reading the Slight Edge by Jeff Olson. His philosophy is the small things done consistently over time get us where we want to go (intentionally or not). He says that the error most people make is that when we don't see immediate results, we quit. He also says that we make a serious judgement error in NOT doing the small things as the small things seem insignificant.

I was comparing the Slight Edge philosophy with previous positive results that I've had. The easiest life experience that I've had with "small, consistent effort" is from my previous weight loss experience. I know that it was the small, almost insignificant daily choices that brought me to the victory of losing 85 pounds. You don't gain 85+ pounds overnight and we surely know that it wasn't because I ate 1 piece of cake or 3 slices of pizza that packed on that weight. It was the small, seemingly insignificant choices that made that major change in my body! I know that doing the opposite of what got me to be an obese woman will bring me the opposite effect/result.
