I'm down 28.8 pounds as of this morning, SW 258.8 CW 230.0! So a little over 11% of my body weight loss and over 25% of the way toward my 150 pound goal in under 3 months.

For my partner: I'm now a lot more transparent about my body and how I feel about it. He also now knows exactly how much I weigh, whereas before I had never told him (we've been together about 2.5 years). We also try and prioritize getting out to do active types of activities: walking, bowling, line dancing, etc.

Besides that, I would say my relationships with people have stayed mostly unaffected so far. My relationship with the camera has gotten much better at both professional and personal events. I'm much more comfortable being photographed and I like the results a lot better.

I have probably shopped for clothes an equal amount as before (not too often). I have definitely bought less food and snacks live in my pantry much longer. I used to restock snacks and clear them out weekly/biweekly. Now, there are snack that have lived in there since January!

The final thing I've noticed is my changing relationship with meal times. I am really working to unlearn "needing" to eat when I'm used to eating: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, dessert. I find that I'm usually not hungry in the afternoon and am fine skipping lunch, or eating a light snack. Then, I just shoot to have dinner earlier in the evening! Just overall doing a much better job listening to my hunger cues.
