Four weeks

Nov 09, 2009

Here are the stats:  Down 20 lbs and a solid pant size.                                                                                                                          
                                    Managing a full 70 + grams of protien every day.
                                    Taking all vitimins and have only missed one or two a few times.
                                     Still staying away from carbs, but no problem eating anything I've tried.


OK so all this being said, I still miss food sometimes and I always miss not being able to drink anything with meals.  I have always been a "food pairer" and did not realize how much I enjoyed this.  The thing I miss about food is how it accompanied my events or activities...like movies/popcorn, Sunday football/chips & dips etc.  Now I find myself not caring as much about doing these things because somehow it doesn't feel like it will be as much fun without the food.  Hummmm..........

I just today came off a solid 8 day stall, which did not throw me too much I'm happy to report!  I'm sure this is just the first of many and as I read something similar on another post this morning and happen to agree....this is not a quick speedy road I'm on to quickly reach a goal so I can return to old ways, but a NEW and very DIFFERENT life I am seeking.  I am positive that in time new ways of being will have rewards yet unseen.

In the meantime.......I am dedicated to holding steadfast to what the experts and those further along have said to do.  Get in my protien & fluids, exercise, and trust that the new life will follow.  I'm convinced that it's true, or I never would have done this.....and YES I am getting glimpses of this new life already.
