Hello everyone!
I just had my weekly weigh in! I am proud to announce I am down 2.0lbs now a total combined 8.6lbs! I don't feel it anywhere...but I guess it's coming from somewhere. If I can push myself, 1.4lbs I'll be at my 10 pound mark, if I can really push myself to lose 2.7lbs I'll be at 5% of my body weight by next week! :)
I now understand what an 'addict' goes through in a sense. Spending time with people enjoying themselves. Gorging themselves in food. Dips, chips, cokes, cake.... ugh. Multiple helpings of pasta, pizza, and cookies. The list drags on and on. It's hard. The lows that I've hit and I am only in week 4 really. Gosh the lows are hard. Overcoming the psychological mindset. Overcoming the urges. I have a new found respect for those who have overcome their addictions to drugs, alcohol, or even smoking.
This was one of the hardest weeks I have had yet! I struggled. I cried. I felt hopeless. I felt alone. This was hard stuff. BUT, I am so so so so so grateful for all the people in my life who have been a huge support to me. My aunt has sent me weekly cards in the mail that I have proudly displayed at my house. My favorite is NEVER EVER EVER Give up. The friendly messages on Facebook, the emails, the phone calls...and seriously I think I tell everyone every week how I have no faith in myself and my support system listens to me complain. Daily. I'm not kidding, DAILY, I explain everything I've eaten. I am sure these people have no clue in what format they have helped me. But... thank you. Thank you all so much.
Prayers and support are always welcome...think of me as I push myself through this next week :)
