Morning Weigh In: Down 1 lbs.
Get me out of here! One more day of denying myself the simplest of pleasures…bread! By the way, isn’t bread supposed to be some sort of foundation of life or something? And these kinds of foundations, these simplicities…these are the things that brought me to this place to begin with!
I’m down another pound today. Hooray! So I end at 136 pounds. Not too shabby! I’ve got my final weigh in and appointment with Dr Watwood and I’m thrilled that I’m going in there yet another pound lighter. This is going to be the best Dr’s appointment EVER!
The Dr and I had some good discussion about keeping my calories up more; making sure that I don’t loose any energy and giving my metabolism a chance to really work to my advantage. Okay, okay! Weigh me already!! Measure me now!!
Here goes:
STARTED ENDED
Weight 154.8 135.6
Measure 1”above belly button 35” 29”
Measure 1” below belly button 37.5” 34"
Hips 40” 36.5
Right thigh 23” 21"
Left thigh 23” 21”
Hey, wait a minute! My scale is about ½ pound off! Oh well, it’s all headed in the right direction! I’m shocked at the loss of inches. In fact, I pretty sure I started to tear up in her office today. This has been a long haul and even though I have a great satisfaction in feeling good and fitting into all my clothes again, I’m feeling exhausted at the tremendous toll this has taken on me mentally.
I can’t recall any other time I’ve done something so ridiculously taxing. And it’s food. This simple looking thing that is there to give us the sustenance we need to function throughout our day. So easily abused, this simple thing. I’m going to celebrate today. I won’t be having any ice cream parties for myself, but I will leave this office and breathe deeply. I’ll find myself smiling throughout the day for no apparent reason. I’ll give myself mental hugs and pats on the back as I go through this day.
Now, I can set my sights on the next day. I can be reasonable and calculate what I’m eating without beating myself up. I can set new goals for myself…and keep them. I can see food and now it only takes a second for me to consider it. I can say no without feeling as though I’m missing out. 19 pounds lost! 17 inches gone! And now, a new list of priorities for myself…
