Weight loss is not easy. The more you have to lose, the longer the journey will be. Along the way, we need to celebrate every victory.
Every single pound lost is gone and that is a victory in your life. We need to find ways to celebrate those victories along the way. I love to shout “Praise God!” every morning that the scale is down. Every tenth of a pound is a reason to shout.
Every time I reach my next goal (which is currently 2.8 lbs.), I get to celebrate by changing out my reminders throughout the house. When I reach a milestone, I get a new music album to listen to while I workout. When I reach my ultimate goal, I get a two-fold celebration, I am going on vacation with my family and also getting new clothes.
So, let’s take time to celebrate along this journey, time to praise God and give thanks for all of the wonderful things God is doing for you and within you. What do you plan to do to celebrate?
I think it’s great to reward yourself every now and then. I’m going on vacation too!
