Feeling Better/Weigh-In

I have started noticing a difference in the way I feel lately. My husband and I both have started feeling better, having more energy, and having less cravings. I have heard people say a million times that if you stop eating sugar or drinking coke that eventually you will stop wanting it, and I have always thought that this was a bold face lie...but it's true. I use to crave sweets really bad at night. I mean I was constantly saying "I want a big fat brownie and a glass of milk" or "I would die for a piece of cake or a cookie right now." Literally this was an every night occurrence, but for the last two weeks I haven't even found the thoughts in my mind. It really blows me away, that a self proclaimed sugar addict like me, hasn't even been thinking about desserts. Now don't get me wrong if I see or smell a desert I still want it but I can pretty easily resit it.

I also feel so much better when I put on clothes. It is kind of hard to explain but it is like I feel lighter, that is until I'm in the middle of one of my jogs and then I feel extremely heavy. This sounds funny or crazy to me but I really do. Maybe it is because things aren't as tight on me as they use to be. I'm still wearing the majority of what I have always worn because I haven't bought very many new clothes yet. I want to be down at least another size before I buy new ones.

I'm so proud of myself for putting all these good and healthy things in my body instead of the normal fatty foods that I was use to eating. This is finally starting to feel like a lifestyle change. Which is what I intended for this to be the whole time but I'm glad it is finally starting to "feel" that way.

Now for my weigh-in for this week:

Starting Weight: 280

Weight This Week: 248

Pounds Lost This Week: 1

Total Pounds Lost: 32

A little disappointed with a one pound weight loss for the week but I guess it is to be expected after the whopping six pounds lost last week. I really just want to have a consistent two to three pound weight loss every week. At least I did loss and not gain! So I'm just going to keep working hard and I know that I will reach my goal!
