I think I was in denial for a while...you know when you step on the scale and think, that can't be right. Am I really that weight? How on earth did that happen? Well I'll tell ya, it happened slowly over the course of 8-10 years. You think eh' 5 lbs who cares, 10 lbs no biggie, then you move a size, then 2 sizes and before you know it the fat jeans turned into the skinny jeans and you're shopping in the plus dept of the store. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I would just prefer to go where there is greater selection and cuter clothes. Ya know? Ugh, I said I would never go back there. And you know what? Instead of beating myself up about it anymore, I decided to finally make the change. So I am at the end of Day 2 in the 17 day program and it's been OK. I am not hungry right now and I stayed completely on plan all day long. I am finding that the headaches are gone and despite an icky Spring cold, I have more energy and feel clearer headed. Sugar really does mess with your head. So tomorrow is Day 3 and I feel strong and capable, somehow different this time. I REALLY appreciate all of the feedback both on Facebook and here on the blog. It helps me feel accountable and like someone cares. So thanks! Thursday is weigh in day. According to my home scale I was down 2 pds but we'll see. My Aunt Flo is coming for a visit soon so the scale may not reflect as big of a loss as I might hope for and that is OK. It will probably be bigger loss the week after. But I will not get discouraged and I will stay on target. One meal and one day at a time. Love you!
