So I weighed myself this weekend and the tally is up to 9 pounds that I’ve lost on the Best Life Diet. Wanting to lose 30 to 35 pounds, it is nice to know that I’m close to 30% to my goal…after less than 2 months. Not bad!

You know, we all think weight loss is so hard. Have you every looked at what a pound of fat looks like? At my last job, there was a weight loss program’s storefront business near my office, and they had this big blob of yellow mass that actually looked like a brain on a scale in the window. The scale read 1 pound. I remember thinking how large that mass looked, and more importantly, how 30 extra of those one-pound-brain-lookalikes currently reside in my body and how gross that made me feel (great marketing tactic!). HOWEVER…it was a huge mass. And I have literally been losing one of those a week on average since I started the Best Life Diet. The body can actually lose a lot of mass very quickly…the word “one pound” almost minimizes this impact…and I don’t think the human body really gets the credit it deserves sometimes!

I encourage you to do an online image search to see what a pound of fat looks like–somewhere I’m sure someone has recorded this digitally. And as you go through the Best Life Diet or your other weight loss program, you should really be in awe about how a body responds to you. If you give it what it needs, it will do what you want it to do.

I’m rejoicing in the 9 pounds the Best Life Diet took from me and look forward to the next 25. Stay with me!
