I hadn't realized how much work I have put into my lifestyle changes until my mentor said to me? Why don't you go to the Grocery store and pick up 40 lbs of potatoes, feel how much weight you actually took off your body, bones, etc.

I hadn't really thought about it that weigh (no pun intended) But it really puts things in perspective if you lose one pound, go take a look at a pound of butter, then pat yourself on the back for losing that much...
