Inspired by my brother

This week I was able to see my family including my little brother. Thomas has lost over 100 pounds and I cant get over how great he looks! We went out to sushi and I kept freaking aout over how differnt he looks. He really looks like a whole new person. It was amazing to see him that thin. I have been inspired by his loss. I am committing to step it up once again and get this stuff OFF!!
I have been making slow and steady progress but kind of hitting a plataeu that has been going on for way too long. I have decided to do a 30 day committment of journaling my food and eating NO packaged food for that month, and no sweets. Just 30 days. I am getting nervous to go to Utah in January and be the same size as I am now.
The good news is that when I flew to Arizona this weekend I did NOT need a seatbelt extender on either airline...I barly made that mark I will tell you it was a project to get that seatbelt on and snap it in...but I did it and I am happy about that. The next goal is when I fly in January to not hit anyone sitting on the isle seats as I walk to my seat on the plane. My hips need some work for sure. I am proud that I have been listening to the pain in my back and slowing down when I need to but quite frankly I am tired of living with pain. There are so many things that I feel motivated to do, but just cant do them because of my back. I cant wait for the day that wont be an issue. If I feel like painting, weedins, running or riding rollercoasters I want to do it!! I am way more motivated to get this stuff off now that I see how good Thomas looks. He looks so healthy, and its been since he was a teenager that I have seen him look this good.
Just for today I will take my vitamins, eat my planned meals and refrain from abusing my body with yucky food. I feel success already!
