7 pounds in a little over a month....

With increase walking, hoping to shed more.

One month and four pounds ago....

Yes, I'm down four pounds. I think the Biggest Loser has messed with my mind. Like I should be down 40 pounds in a month or something. Grr.

It has been a month!

I'm actually surprised at this milestone.
I haven't weighed yet. I keep putting it off.
Perhaps tomorrow, I will get my nerve up.
Cravings are still a major struggle.
Wondering how long until that goes away.

Almost...

I almost caved today. Eric brought home supper. (Mexican food) AND soda AND a donut dessert.

Know what I ate? Burritos & Water. Yes, I survived, and I didn't give in to the soda or dessert temptation. AND I didn't gripe at him about it. (Please, don't remind me how horrible burritos are for your health. I'm just glad I didn't fall completely off the wagon.)

Go me! :-)

One thing that worried me, it was such a strong temptation. Just hope I can keep being strong. Really unsure how long I can keep this up. Just being real.

If I can....

If I can hold on for a few more days, it will be one month from when I started.
I decided not to weigh myself again after all, so that I can weigh at the one month mark. Surely, it will show a difference and help keep me motivated.
For some reason, the cravings are stronger than they were in the beginning. I must be going through some kind of hormone thing or something. BUT...so far, I'm just biting the bullet, and drinking my water. Ugh, I sound like a martyr.

Almost 3 weeks

It's so strange sometimes. The cravings will be very intense, but if I just hold on, they pass. I'm very proud of myself for not giving in yet. I always say "yet", because I can't promise anything for the next hour/day/week/etc. It's too overwhelming if I do.

This morning, Eric said that he was seeing a difference in my face. He thought it looked thinner. I think he was just trying to be nice.

Anyway, tomorrow should show a definite difference.....I hope.

Which do I believe?

The evening I arrived at Pa's, I weighed myself, and it said that I had lost NOTHING!!!
BUT...
The next morning, I weigh and it says that I've lost 4 pounds.
NOW, which do I believe?
Guess I'll try to hold on for one more week, then see if there is any difference.
I don't want to fail, but I also want to give up. :-(
Just being real.

Almost 2 weeks

Tonight I go to Pa's and I'll weigh myself tomorrow. It will be the 2 week mark.
I'm still caffeine and sugar free, so far.
It's amazing how many people try to get you to quit something like this. They want you to lose weight, but when you try anything they say things like:
- Are you sure this is a good idea?
- Don't you want even just a little bite?
- Oh, a little bit won't hurt you.
- Maybe a little sugar is good for you.
- Etc...
It's a battle not only with myself, but I'm fighting those around me, in a way.
I'll be back on here in a few days. There isn't any internet service at Pa's except through my phone, and I don't know how to update this from my phone yet.
