Well hello. Here were are 11 months from my first entry. Just think of how much weight you could lose in 11 months!!! Even if we say we only lose 1/2 lb a week that is 22 lbs. 1/2 a lb a week anyone can lose 1/2 a lb a week, right? However I am here to say I am still overweight. Last weigh in a few days ago was at 169. While my DH was away in Barbados, back in Oct. I missed him so much I could hardly eat. By the time he came home I was down to 158 & had to buy new jeans cause nothing fit. In less than 2 weeks I was back up to 164. I realized something in the last 6 months. I have always said French Fries were my weakness they are truly not. It is chocolate & sweets & I know your all thinking well isn't every bodies? But I have a real problem I can't stop eating them. I will shove candy after candy in my mouth through out the day & not even think about it.
I am very thankful that God has blessed me w/ a well paying job but the job makes me miserable & I find my only escape to be eating. So I will go buy a bag of reeses miniature cups, trees, hearts, eggs & can eat the whole bag during my shift. I am just confessing the amount of chocolate I've been consuming over the last 3 months to my DH & SIL. DH had no idea it was that bad. So starting today I am not dieting. I am only trying to cut the chocolate out. I have done this before. When I first found out I was severally lactose intolerant I stopped everything w/ dairy but then after a year I found I could tolerate some. So I am proud to say that today was a successful day!! No chocolate & I even still had it left at my desk & I didn't touch it. Another key part to this is giving up my Diet pop. I LOVE DIET POP!! I have been drinking it as long as I can remember. I think it taste better & it makes food & sweets taste better. The real cause of this is the aspartame. Aspartame not only keeps your feeling less full, (for example when I feel like I can't eat another bit I know if I go get a can of diet pop to go along w/ my food or dessert I will be able to finish it.) it also makes your body think it is getting sugar so when your body never gets something to process like sugar you then crave it. My DH has wanted me to stop drinking Diet Pop for years but I've just haven't been willing to give it up. But I find it hard to eat sweets w/o it now & because that is my gluttonous weakness I am going to try to put it aside as well.
I am hoping this is the start of something positive. I have recently also started a small business as an Independent Mary Kay Consultant & I am planing on it being my way out of my current job situation. :-) Hopefully my next post won't be
