Discouragement or Rejoicing

Well I am still at minus 21 pounds. It is a bit frustrating. I have been working out 4-5 times a week. My eating has been pretty good. Smaller portions and less junk food and sweets. I have been trying to eat healthy but I have not been a die hard about it.
So am I discouraged?
Yeah a bit. It has been almost 6 months. I am still heavy. I still have fat where I don't want it. I still look in the mirror and see to much of me.
However, I am 2 sizes smaller than I was. I am more toned and have more muscle, which we all know weighs more than fat, I look thinner and I feel much better with lots more energy. So I think I should rejoice. It may not be coming off as fast as I want but 21 pounds is still good and it is staying off. I think it staying off is the key. We will see how long I stay here. If it is longer than I wanted then oh well. Maybe I will lose 21 pounds every 6 months. It will take me longer to lose it but I am at peace with that. They say it is better to take it off slowly and I will be learning healthy habits along the way.
I went through my dresser drawers this week and tried on some capri's (from 2 summers ago) and workout pants that were to small. They all fit. I have 2 pairs of workout capri's and one pair of black capri's for the office. I gathered up my sweats that are to big (but really comfy) and gave them away.
