Thanks Unis! After a good night's rest, I realized this morning that there HAVE been gradual changes. I think part of it for me is to begin noticing the gradual changes. Some days I feel discouraged because I have had a tendency to go to the extremes in diet and exercise. I tend to drastically shift to eating that vastly differs than how I eat now. This is also true with exercise. Either I'm working out 7 days a week or 1 if that! So I think you're right that I have to gradually move into new patterns. I think part of me became impatient yesterday and discouraged, because that part wasn't being satisfied with immediate measurable results! "I SHOULD be working out every day! I SHOULD be on an eating plan! Nothing is happening!" Even though I know small internal changes are happening!
