My week in a nut shell!
Well this has been an unusual week! The week seemed to drag on yet I couldn’t wait for the weekend to arrive. I had a long week at work, busy busy busy! I had to put in long hours this week too! Hince one of the reasons I didn’t blog quite so much this week! I lost 2 more pounds, I was actually amazed…didn’t expect that so much…I have been eating right htough and working harder at work so maybe thats why. I did not have too much bread this week, and ate my yogurt. I swear they are right when they say yogurt will speed up your weight loss! Or milk products actually! I have been trying to add in at least 1 or 2 yogurts a day. I have been dieting now for 3 months and almost hit the 50 lb mark…it seems like a lot in 3 months to some people but to me it just shows my determination and strong will power that I have maintained. Now since I have been dieting I have had no real JUNK! I talk to some people who splurge a little bit every day, and this is not how I achieved my weight loss thus far….See I have came to the realization that I am a FAT girl! Now no matter If I stay fat, or if I continue to lose the weight to get to my goal I beleive, and I really really do believe this- that i will be always a fat girl, just maybe trapped in a thinner body! I know that I can not set limits for myself! I love to eat. I now have to eat things that are readilly available, not go out of my way, drive in my car, and buy junk! I will not allow myself to buy JUNK because ugh well You know I will eat it! If I no longer have it, I can’t eat it right! WRONG…my husband has stopped drinking since I started my diet, and thats another reason why I started dietting, if he can quit drinking alcohol as much as he was every day then I know I can lose this weight, his stopping drinking= my dietting plan! So far though since he has stopped drinking he developed this insatiable craving for candy! All chocolate too! So now instead of me buying the junk he does! And it winds up in my house still! Now this sucks, but so far I haven’t dove into his so called secret stash which seems to be wiggling out of hidding more and more each day! He just piles the stuff up now so I can see it and want it yet not eat it! I really don’t think he understands how much it bothers me, even though when he starts chomping on it I then leave the room and walk off mumbling and grouchy! I mean for real I would not turn up a pint bottle in front of him! That is so rude if I did. But he just doesn’t tend to think of things like that for me! So ….Also I am worried because my doctor has taken me off of my diet pill now, because he only prescribes it for 2-3 months ever and he says I am fine now and that If I continue to eat right and excersise then I will still lose the weight.I am worried that the pounds will gradually work their way back up! No doubt in my mind with the calories I am consuming now, I can lose weight on my own, but I do worry about my energy level! And I stopped drinking sodas altogether once I started dieting too, whats gonna give me my energy boost..I had to lay off of the caffiene, so now I am worried that I will be slower and less productive now, and more grouchy too…see this is what happens If I don’t take it for several days. Ok well I hope that I didn’t bore you, and that I didn’t ramble on and on too much…I will try to blog more often this up coming week too! Angie
I agree with you about dairy products speeding up weight loss. Calcium in this natural form, not in a form of dietary supplement, is what does the trick.
As for the diet pills… it’s a cratch that sooner or later you need to let go of. I am so glad that you are doing diet pills under doctor’s supervision. Trust your doctor.
Congratulations on keeping exercise and healthy diet this week even when you were so busy. There are no excuses not to become healthy. You are doing a great job.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Tatiana
3 months and 50 lbs. I wish to be so lucky or hardworking or whatever has done this for you. Anyway, we all know men are from mars and women are from venus. They just aren’t wired like we are no matter how much we want to kid ourselves that they are. It probably never entered his mind that leaving candy in front of you would bother you, then again, maybe he is subconsciously looking for a reason to drink again. so if no alcohol = your diet, then maybe he is thinking no diet= I get to have alcohol again. I hope not, but you know it is an addiction just as food is. So, there could be more going on here. Try talking to him about it.
Wishing you the best,
Debbie
Hey Girl…congratulations on another 2 pound loss I am so proud of you ….keep up the good work
Your willpower is great! I am sure that if you have a nice talk with your hubby you can work things out. One of the best things to maintain in a relationship is communication. Plus all that candy can’t be good for him either. Good luck I know you can do it!
I’m so inspired by your weight loss! I know it’s scary to come off the medication but I think you’ll be fine. I took meds for a while to help me out and it worked. That said, I’ve now lost more than ever being just diligent about the program. I agree with you completely - this is a life changing process. Congrats! Ellen
