Getting dressed for work this morning, I was able to tighten my belt up one notch further than I've ever been able to before. I had to, in fact, as it would have been really loose had I not (where it once was almost too tight.)
The scale has been telling me I've been losing weight, 20 pounds so far, but I haven't been able to see any difference in myself. So it's nice to know that it is actually making a difference, even if I can't see it readily.
I'm still not happy with my appearance at all, but I'm going in the right direction. I've got a lot of other changes planned, so I'm hoping that I'll look back a year from now and barely be able to recognize myself. And, hopefully, they'll have all been changes for the better.
