What I’ve noticed so far:

Aug 20, 2010

·         I’m better at keeping my food log during the week. I tend to get a bit off track on a non-work day.  ·         I can drive past Fast Food places without feeling deprived. I may have to have a conversation with myself, but healthy choices have won out 99.9 % of the time ·         I keep healthy snacks in my glove box & office and water handy so I’m not hungry when I pass by those temptations. ·         I’ve lost an average of 0.88lb per week while learning these behavior modifications. ·         All my jeans are too big and I have to wear belts. In fact my largest jeans I don’t even try wearing. ·         My wedding rings are getting loose. ·         I eat much less processed carbs. I might have a few but I don’t feel the need to glut myself to feel full. ·         Thoughtful eating can be pleasurable:  No books, not TV, no multi tasking ·         If I have a small amount of something it’s more enjoyable than a huge quantity. ·         I have more energy ·         I still don’t like sweating but I like the results ·         I plan out my day better. I have to be aware of when I can eat and drink so I tend to use my time more thoughtfully. ·         My food bill is smaller since I’m not throwing out unused food as often. ·         I’ve learned not to swallow my gum ·         I can treat my aches and pains with Tylenol Arthritis ·         In general I feel healthier ·         There are times when I eat because I’m bored, but they are becoming less ·         I’m learning not to eat in front of the TV ·         I can’t consume any product with Equal in it. But I can have Splenda. ·         I’ve lost 17lbs from my highest weight so far.
