Project: Muffin Top Reduction - Week 1

I've decided to call my bi-weekly "weight/measure-ins" Project Muffin Top Reduction.  I think this reflects my goal more accurately, as I do have specific weight/measurements I'm aiming for but the more important goal is how my clothes fit.  So, to make this fun I've taken a picture of my current muffin top in my size 14 jeans to watch it "disappear" over the next couple months.

Most of these bi-weekly posts will be short and sweet.  Post the picture with the measurements, and say what went well, and what didn't go so well.

Here goes the first one (the Starting measurements are from two weeks ago (February 28th)):

What went well - I began focusing more on eating plant-based meals, and as a result my digestion is working super well.  I think that was a partial contributor to the great Hip measurement (plus, some normal bloating went away, but as I know it "will be back")

What didn't go well - I'm having a hard time with eating all of the food on my plate, when I'm know I'm full and eating all the food I take to work even though I'm not hungry.  I know this comes from the "clean your plate" upbringing.  So I'm going to help myself by taking at least one snack that is not perishable, so I won't feel it will go to "waste" if I don't eat it the next day.  And I'm going to try and focus on portions for my lunches and dinners.
