I have lost 28 pounds!
I am amazed with myself. I have such a long way to go. 28 pounds is a drop in the bucket compared to the 180 total pounds I have to lose. But now that 180 pounds is 152 pounds. I am finally under the 300 pound mark and it feels good.
I live in constant fear that I’m going to slip up and blow it. I am still craving sugar even though I’m avoiding it as much as I can.
My first big test since Christmas is going to be Valentine’s Day. I love those little conversation hearts. But I hope I can put on the blinders and stay away.
Cupcakes are another temptation I’m trying to talk myself out of. Not to mention sugary cereals.
It’s strange the things I’m craving now.
One of my goals for the next few days: cut out some pictures of women I admire and hang them up somewhere I can see them.
I think it’s helping that I have some things in my life that I’m “getting ready for.” Keeping those goals in my mind ahead of my desire to eat certain foods is what’s helping quite a bit.
Thank-you, God for the weight loss! I can hardly wait until it really does start showing up in my clothes (I’m still the same size clothes-wise) and in the way I feel. As I said, it’s not that much weight compared to what I need to loose all together.
