DONE...

Well, not technically but with the diet portion I am DONE. After Monday and seeing such little results in the previous 10 days and frustration hitting a peak I decided to bag it. I can lose 1-2 pounds a week on Weight Watchers eating and still eat REAL food!

Now I am not bashing the diet itself. It really did work. I lost a total of 14.5 pounds in one month on it. It also helped me to get off the Diet Coke and be determined to eat healthier. I really feel like it has helped reset my insulin levels and hopefully that also means my thyroid and metabolism as well.

I started doing Weight Watcher eating rules on Tuesday, June 9. In the three days since, I have lost 2.5 more pounds. Go figure! Oh it reminds me that even healthy food tastes good. When you have been so deprived for so long, good food sounds fantastic. I am going to stay off the Diet Coke for sure. I have tried to eat only whole grains and brown rice when I have to eat carbs. I know that won't stay like that 100% but if I live that rule 90% of the time, then I should do fine.

I started my real journey with losing weight on April 9. To date I am at 20.6 pounds down! YEAH!!! Only 12 more to go before I am in healthy range. My scale says my Body Fat has gone down 4%. I have no clue how it knows or even how reliable it is but a loss is a loss.

It feels good to not feel like a big round balloon. I know I have more to lose but I can feel a significant difference and my self esteem is rising with each pound down. I still had a lady ask me in church if I was pregnant (something I haven't had asked in quite a while) and I started crying. I didn't lose 20 pounds to be asked if I was pregnant. Oh well...

Here's to another week and a few more pounds! I am 1 pound away from seeing numbers on the scale that will surely make me cry! YEAH!!!
