At the end of week 4 I finally feel as though I am making progress on an emotional level. There was a tiny baby step this week of feeling as though I had control over the food and it wasn't controling me. It was enough of a step that I want to feel it more. We went out to eat twice in the last week and I was able to find alternatives each time. Don't think that I wasn't still wishing that I could've had some nachos or a cheese quesadilla or that big juicy cheeseburger because they still look yummy. I know well enough at this point that if I ate any of that I would get sick and it really wouldn't be worth it. Yesterday I put on a pair of pants that 5 years ago were the pants that I was always so excited to get into. I put them on thinking awesome I have another pair of jeans to wear! Much to my amazement they were too big. I wore them anyway but realized as the day went on that I should not have worn them because they really were to big. I don't ever have that issue. Usually I put pants on hoping they will stretch throughout the day and then wish I hadn't worn them because they are so darn uncomfortable! Today they were uncomfortable because I knew they were too big. Such a strange feeling and sort of hard to wrap my brain around. I started thinking today how in the world am I going to be able to afford an entire new wardrobe? There aren't going to be those clothes that I really wish I could get into. Again another hard thing to wrap my mind around.
My second order of food that I got I love! I was actually craving the honey mustard pretzel sticks for the last 2 days. The brownies and ice cream are life savers :-)
SOOOOOO the results for week 4 is...... 1.2 pds lost14.7 lost in 4 weeks! I was honestly hoping for more but it is all still progress!!
I have started posting pictures weekly on my weigh in day on my facebook page under my weight loss folder. So watch the transformation happen with me :-)
