Well, here I am again! Thanks for your replies, I know 3lbs is a good loss, and 13 lbs off in 2 weeks is awesome, I just wanted it to be a stone lol! Silly logic
Well, it's been a busy busy day, but I made it. I forgot to say this morning that I had my black combats on today for work - trousers I have not been able to fit in to for over 6 months! So my 13lbs is already changing my wardrobe. Yes I am still wearing a size 20, but they are comfortable. In fact, they are a little loose, which is a refreshing change from busting at the seams
I should have done my measurements but I couldn't find my tape measure. My 6 year old likes to measure things so no doubt it is in the bottom of one of his (many) toy boxes!
I had 2 compliments in work today - one saying my face is showing my weight loss already, and one saying it is clear in my side profile. So that was nice!
I looked after my friend's 2 boys today whilst she was at her course, and I made a big casserole which fed my hubby, my son, her 2 boys, her AND some leftovers for my son's tea tomorrow too! When I was serving it up I got a splash of gravy on my thumb and without thinking I licked it. I almost cried, and I shrieked in horror at what I had done! Poor hubby thought I had burnt myself (quite a common occurrence lol) so he came running through to the kitchen, then laughed when I petulantly told him why I squealed!
Had a really good chat with my mum tonight about the diet and my relationship with food. I think she feels a bit guilty in a way as she has struggled with her weight all of my life. She lost 4 stone last year with the Rosemary Conley plan and has kept it off, so I think I will be heading for that once my CD journey is done. We are heading back to the UK for a week over Easter and will be living out of hotels, so I am going to have to come off plan for that week as it will be very difficult to prepare my shakes and keep the tetras cold enough for me to stomach them. But I WILL make the right choices with what I have. Then I am going straight back on CD until the end of May when I go back to stay with my parents. Mum is going to talk me through the Rosemary Conley plan and help me get my head round it. I have promised myself that I will never have this big weight battle in my life again. I am tired of it, and determined to change the way I view and use food forever.
Sometimes, I think it would be 'easier' to have a problem with alcohol - giving up food just isn't a possible option in life, food is a necessity. What I need to do is re-educate myself and STOP using it as an emotional crutch, time filler, and reward! I will view food as a necessity, and will only eat when I need to not when I want to. So there!!!!!
