I'm struggling every single day. It's not that I'm hungry; it's the food I want for comfort. The weather is cooler and I want to eat warm casseroles and add melted cheese to everything.
Yesterday I wore a pair of dress slacks that I purchased for work approximately two months ago. They fit but were painful in the waist area when I sat down. They were incredibly loose yesterday. This makes me feel good and strong and gives me momentum to forge ahead. Unfortunately, that feeling doesn't last long.
The 800 product tomato soup was a freakin' lifesaver this week. I added basil and Mrs. Dash seasoning (table blend and garlic) to it. Tonight I hope to purchase another box of that plus the 800 product chicken soup to have an alternative.
Last weekend I baked all day long without sampling one little morsel. It was tough. I made peanut butter blossom cookies and magic bars--a chocolately, pecan, coconut delight. While baking I tried a new shake. Vanilla with apple pie spice and pumpkin pie spice plus a shot of white chocolate sugar free Torani syrup. Mmmmm....that was really good.
My naked weight this morning compared to my naked weight last Tuesday is 4.5 less. I'm actually going more by my Tuesday morning naked weigh-in than what shows at the clinic. The clinic weight varies depending on what I wear that day. And trust me...when you're not eating one tiny crumb, every ounce counts on the scale.
Next week's goal: E X E R C I S E
I'll post my weight later.
P.S. Welcome Jennifer! Thanks for the comment. Congrats on a successful start to the program. Awesome weight loss!
I agree, I want food because it is comfort to me. I haven't really felt too much "hunger" since the first week.
ReplyDeleteCHEESE! OMG, what I wouldn't give for a big ole cheese casserole. I don't know what a cheese casserole is but I'm sure I could invent it. Ha ha ha.
