What did I give up?

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

I gave up a comfort zone and allowed my body to do it's job. I gave up unattentiveness. I had to hone my listening skills to my body and eat a meal in the middle of the night when my body said, "I'm hungry."

I also listened to my food buddie. When others said don't eat those ice cream sundaes, and my body said yes....let's take the slower route and give me one now. I gave it a sundae followeed by a celery carrot stick--bunches of them. I listened to my food buddie when I told her what a great pasta meal I made, and she had the guts to ask me the amounts of veggies and pasta--and when the pasta was way too much, she had the guts to ask me if I was crazy, and then I had to ask my body to listen to me while I made an executive decision. It was my hands that I delegated throwing the dish away.

I gave up hurriedness and elected to have patience that while others were losing quickly or not at all, I kept on track being one of the slowest turtles around. I had to look elsewhere when I got on one of those plateaus that lasted and lasted next to forever.

  

"get rid of all of your clothes"

Thursday, April 19, 2012

that's what my daughter said to me

hm.....close your eyes, people, cause if I follow her advice there might be a streaker nearby

as I lose weight the slacks etc fall off
as long as it is hanging on my shoulders, it keeps hanging

LOL! Have you gone clothes shopping yet. Don't buy too much if you're not at you final goal yet. Report Inappropriate Comment

I found standing in front of the full length mirror with a rear view at Goodwill motivated almost as much as shrieking at my new tan and thin legs sitting in my bathtub! I bought inexpensive smaller clothes while looking honestly and where I wasn't seeing progress. Report Inappropriate Comment

SIZE 12

Tuesday, April 10, 2012

My kids have been complaining about my clothes, and yes I have been retiring many of them to Goodwill or the rag bag.

However, it wasn't until this weekend when my daughter said, "hey mom, try these on" and it was a pair of her jeans and they fit. Then I looked at the size...Size 12.....wow!

Then my old ones--size 16--she wanted me to throw them out, and not keep them for around the house. Really great.

If you do keep the size 16, its only to remind yourself where you don't want to go again. Congrats, great job. Report Inappropriate Comment

Get rid of them so you will never be tempted to fit into them again. I judge my weight lose by the way that my jeans fit. I have been changing sized about every 8 to 9 months and it feels really great. Report Inappropriate Comment

Spring break

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

I was emotional eating towards the end of the term, and then I realized it but didn't, couldn't change it....need to work on it.

This week catching up on all sorts of things, eating the fruits and veggies. Of all things.....I found another more direct way to drive home and then I found a cute little grocery store with a parking lot, where parking is closer.....so, and it's nice, it's less cluttered with non-food items, and the produce was reasonable and plentiful. A real gift. I was able to buy the food that I needed and I didn't buy all of the produce because it looked too good. :-). :-)

Great week.
