It's been two weeks today that I started this program and I have to say that week two was way more challenging then I what I thought. BUT it's been OK because I have stayed the course and over come the obstacles that I have had. It's mostly been a mental battle then anything else. Last night I was watching some t.v. and they did a segment on the woman that wants to be the heaviest woman alive. She's now tipping the scales at 1,000 pounds. 1,000 pounds....really? What makes a person decided one day that life is much better at 1,000 pounds. They interviewed her boyfriend who said he loves her look. Now please don't get me wrong...but this is just out of control. I know that we all deal with our own fears, insecurities but it comes back to what did it for me...why would I allow myself to become sick, possible death because I liked food more then my well being. Hopefully that same light bulb will go off for this woman before her heart decides too.
Today was also a small challenge because I had lunch at Chick Fil A with my mom and daughter. I loved Chick Fil A. It was once one of my favorite places to eat-but today....not so much. What I use to get was the Caesar wrap with all the Caesar dressing...not anymore. Today I had a grilled chicken sandwich. Fighting those old habits has become a daily battle...but it's a battle that I am winning at because every night when I go to bed, I know that I've done this right...that tomorrow I'll do it again and that's a great feeling.
Weight loss: -1 pound. Total to date -16.2 pounds and 6 inches. Tomorrow I'll do my weekly measurements. :) Have a great night!
Hey Amanda!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on here in a while, I just played a whole week of catch up. I am sorry this past week has been a harder one... however you can still celebrate!!! Doing the "right' thing is the hardest thing to do sometimes!!! 16.2 pounds...my goodness, that is awesome!!! I wish I would have taken my measurements at the beginning.... but I hear you when you talk about old pants fitting once again... so much fun!
I got your message the other night. It has just been one of the crazy weeks for me, if it's not one place I am going it is two of the kids friends to pick up and head to the next venture!!!
