way of living. Thats wonderful! For some people it just clicks, i 
think part of the reason is why they are doing it. You " want to be 

a thin person with good habits". That is so much bettter than saying 

i want to lose 15# or 50#. Its a life style goal and a healthy 
attitude. Not wanting it instantly shows adult mentality instead of 
the child attitude" but I want it now !!!" I have days of both 

personally to be honest. Mainly because i know what it feeels like 
to be "thin". But i have never really had good habits formed until 

now. Its a wonderful feeling isn't it, knowing you are in full 
control and you even give yourself permission to take it easy and 
still you choose to not indulge.Woo hoo ! You inspired me you 
newbie! Updates from everyone really do help, so i am so glad you 
posted. 

Peace and blessings to you & your family
