Week One - Visualization
Something is different here than all of the other times I've attempted to drop weight. Without thinking, I am constantly seeing myself as the way I was: Thin, strong and fit. I can see myself mountain biking and running and eating the right foods as I once did. This is just verification to myself that I will succeed.

When I came back from my Christmas holiday up north, I was hanging up some new clothes. I looked very deep into the trenches of my closet and pulled every size in there: 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18. I visualized myself in every size I came across - even the 18s. Even an 18 is something to visualize because it's one size lower than I am now.

I found myself become giddy - excited at the prospect of fitting into old jeans, visualizing myself wearing them. The size 8s were nice - even made my heart flutter - but this program is about moderation, and I won't be wearing the 8s next month.

Visualization helps me behave like the person I will become (i.e. Would a 152-pound person eat this? All of this? No.) The RightSize really helped this week in managing my appetite. With 9 grams of protein, it works for itself. I ate much less. I've already dropped 5 pounds since starting the program last week and I will drop another 3 to 5 pounds this week. Come back next Monday to see how I did!
