Walked past a diner in Cleveland and saw my reflection in the window. That was it.

Been eating whatever I wanted for like 8 years straight. Burgers, fries, pizza, the works. Last month I caught my reflection and barely recognized myself. Started tracking calories with a free app and cut soda completely. Only down 12 pounds so far but my belt fits again. Anyone else ever just snap after seeing yourself in a random window?

Yeah that random window reflection is brutal. Caught mine in a laundromat once and it hit different. Twelve pounds is solid progress for a month though, that's actually a lot if you think about it. Cutting soda alone does so much, I swear half my sugar intake was just from that stuff. Keep going, you'll be surprised how fast it adds up.

Wait, was it a laundromat window specifically or just any random window? I had a brutal one at a gas station once where the lighting was so harsh I looked like a completely different person. Twelve pounds is huge though, that's like a whole bag of dog food you're not carrying around anymore.

Twelve pounds in a month is actually wild when you break it down by week. That's like 3 lbs a week which is definitely on the faster side, most people aim for 1-2.
