I lost another 3 lbs! I just wonder how much I would have lost if I hadn't cheated. My 14 year old cousin spent the night and we watched really bad movies and ate pizza and s'mores. She doesn't come visit often so it was worth it. I and found out that my appetite has decreased significantly. I could barely finish one slice of pizza, where as I used to be able to polish off at least three. And I controlled my sweet tooth instead of the other way around. I only ate one s'more. I wasn't even going to eat that but she made me watch this horribly depressing movie, Remember Me. It was awful. I told her that I had to eat the s'more because the movie had sucked out all of my happiness like one of J. K. Rowling's dementors. She thought it was hilarious, not the movie but my reaction. Apart from the one slip up day I was very good as evident from my results. Which proves to me that the occasional splurge isn't really going to have a tremendous effect.
It is amazing how easy it has been for me to break my unhealthy relationship with food. Instead of potato chips and cookies washed down with a Coke, I snack on an apple, a cheese stick, and some whole wheat crackers all washed down with skim milk or Crystal Light. The thing that really gets me is that I feel satisfied. In fact I feel down right full. It's great. Before I always felt hungry, but now I only occasionally feel that way.
I can't believe that it is this easy. Why didn't I do this before?
Good job! As I started to eat smaller meals and more small healthy snacks throughout the day, I found that my stomach wasn't so stretched out. I became full easier. I have one cheating day a week. I'll make banana splits with my son. I'll use frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, go easy on the chocolate syrup, use low fat whipped cream and extra maraschino cherries. Oh, I almost forgot a-healthy banana. Keep up the good work.

I hear ya on the why didn't I do this before. I am learning that eating healthier is just as satisfying, if not more so.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the loss - and I'm with you about the movie, wish I would have had a s'more when watching it (=
Best of Luck!
