I'm changing. And I've noticed.
As I was talking with someone this morning, I put my hand on my side. It startled me a bit. Know why? Because I noticed something. There is less side there! Yes, as my hand rested on my side, it struck me: "Hey! I've shrunk a little!" And I have to tell you. It felt good to notice that change in myself. As you lose weight/get in shape, you are usually the last one to appreciate the changes that are occurring during the process.
Sometimes it takes an objective third party.
Monday morning I saw a friend that I hadn't seen in about 3 weeks. She said: "Are you losing weight?" I said: "Yes." She noticed right away. And it felt good. Paul has been commenting, and calling me "slim". That feels good too. But not as good as it felt to notice (for myself) my shrinking side "chub", as my kids would call it. Strange, I know. But true. It was a teeny, tiny-yet momentous-event on a long journey to fitness.
Thank you God, for small victories on the way to THE Victory!
