I was beside myself on Monday when I got on the scale and found that not only had I made my mini goal of 50 lbs, but passed it by 3.5 lbs. Things have been so busy with family here, that I didn't do the daily weigh in like I had been doing. I think it had been about two weeks since I had weighed. Very exciting to me. This last week was a real test though. I had my daughter and her friend here and between them, they have 7 children ages 6 and under. With kids comes candy, cake and pastry and at times it was hard to see everyone eating it. I finally broke down and had a small piece of cake with about a tablespoon of ice cream. Didn't taste nearly as good as I thought it was going to. But at least it ended the obsessing that I was doing about it.
It's strange the way that food has a hold on me. Such an addiction that if there is candy in the house it's all I think about. How to get it so no one knows, how much I can eat without screwing up my weight loss. I've found that it's just better not to have it around. It did make me realize that when I get to my goal weight and start adding food back in that I'm going to have to make sure and really watch myself and keep to the healthy habits that I've formed over the last six months so that I never get back to that horrible state I was in.
It seems with this last 10 pounds that people are really starting to notice the weight loss and that feels great. Yesterday I was having one of those days were I was just uncomfortable in my own skin and just felt like the fat girl. Yet I had three different people tell me how good I was looking. That's just what I need to keep to this path. Positive affirmation!
