Em GI's Journal, 09 May 2019

As you might know, I’m a cowgirl and I like to equate pounds lost to weight of hay and grain. So, at this point, I’ve lost more than a 50# bag of grain. When I really ponder that, I think about the struggle it was to get to my barn under the weight of it on my shoulder. That is the relief my body now has for every move it makes when not carrying anything at all. I’m excited for it to be a bale of hay 😊

Great comparison. I used to do that pushing a shopping cart with 8 cases of bottled water around the store.

nice comparisons. for me I keep my eye on my goal. #200 was how much I weighed when I got out of high school

My 7 yr old granddaughter weighs 50# and I've lost 59#. She has autism so I carry her a lot, which helps me remember why I feel so wonderful and full of energy now!

Yes, losing a bag of grain or a bale of hay is definitely a lot less to haul around all day. I'm more suburban, so I think in terms of bags of dog food. Congrats on losing all that feed!

I use bowling balls. I love the imagery. And thinking about schlepping that bag into the barn makes me feel lighter too!

Thanks! And all imagery works! Bowling balls? Holy cow, I know what my 12-pound one feels like...to imagine a bunch of them 😲 Love there’s a fellow horsewoman here and I just bet there’s more...we should start a group!

I love that comparison! I have lost a total of about 62 pounds. I started my eating plan a year and a half ago. I also carry my dogs’ 50 pound bad of food to the house and it is a big job.
