This week I weighed 154.3. The most I've ever weighed is 160 so 154.3 is awful. I'm only going to weigh myself once a week so I don't obsess over every tenth of a pound.
I've given up fast foods and chocolate so far. The first week I didn't use any of my cheats, but this week I had a few oreos and sweet and sour chicken. I used 2/3 of my cheats.
This week I'm giving up sugary coffee drinks. I can still have coffee, but it's has to be made with no-fat milk, and no sugar. I did buy some artificial sweetener. I read a really good article about ordering skinny at Starbucks.
I also attempted to buy healthy food, but all of it, that isn't fruit flavored, has chocolate. I ended up make Energy Bites by Smashed Peas and Carrots. I used butterscotch chips instead of chocolate, but since I've been eating less sugar they seem VERY sweet. Next time I think I'll go without any baking chips. My brother and boyfriend both really liked them. I'll be making more VERY soon.
I weighed 196 at my heaviest. Losing the extra weight didn't happen overnight, but I made it happen! If I could lose the extra weight, you can, too! Being able to own up to how much you weigh is a big step. And I think weighing yourself once or week (really, once every two weeks!) will be a good way for you to measure your progress more realistically.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Skinny Starbucks article!
And ahh...I wouldn't mind trying one of your Energy Bites! =P
I almost brought you some. I DEFINATELY will now.
