2 Kgs - gone just like that

May 28, 2010

I am listening to Toni Braxton 'Im redoing my wardrobe with brand new love' and it somehow seems appropriate for my journey at this point.  I think being an obese person leads to one accepting less in terms of love than one should or is entitled to and at least I think this has characterised my relationships so far, including with my DH.

Well, that aside, I have lost 2Kgs - 4.4 pounds in the course of roughly this last week.  I woke up and decided to give up the sugar, the muffins, the croissants, and the hot chocolate - oh I have cheated here and there, but so far I am feeling good about the way this is going. I can see a glimmer of hope in the distant future... a lot to go, but still a beginning and I will be doing it with a tool.

Yesterday I got myself a pair of sneakers... Nike Lunarlite, now if I only get to use them instead of them sitting gathering dust in my closet, that would be a good thing.  The thought of me at a size 14/16 as opposed to where I am now - errrrrrrrr - 28/30 should be inspirational enough.  It is the summer and if I can just leave the car at home I would be well on my way.  Also bought a nice carrier bag - Nike as well... I am trying to totally embrace this new lifestyle.  On Wednesday I stocked up on protein shakes and a shaker.

I officially on Thursday night begun my liquid fast on Modifast - which I take three times a day.  So far it seems to work - although I have cheated once or twice, but I must say it tastes great - not like I was thinking - having read some of the comments about protein shakes.

So... I am on course.  Having a relaxing Saturday and looking forward to life.  Just when I think I am all alone, my phone rings and it is friends checking up on me.
