Weight Loss Journal

Well today is day 2 of the Metabolic Weight Loss Program we have here in Charleston (AhhhhhMAZING!).   In just ONE day I have dropped 7lbs!  It might be a little water weight, but I highly doubt that since I have to drink a GALLON of water a day!  I feel so energized and full of hope.    I'm so excited to get down to a lower weight pre-surgery so that I have even less weight to lose post surgery.    If anyone is interested in finding out more about this program, please let me know.   I know they are only local to Charleston, and maybe even SC...but I'm sure there are comparable programs out there.    What I love about this is that I don't have to think about what I'm going to make to eat.  Sure I could get that with Jennie Craig or NutraSystem, but those foods always seem to make you crave MORE real food to then binge and crash.   With this plan and the magic pill of phentermine to reduce my hunger (doctor prescribed) and simple soups and shakes/puddings I just add water and go.   

I also bought myself gerber baby spoons to help with taking smaller bites, practicing for what I'll be doing the rest of my life.  It also helps me slow down and eat slower.   Like right now I just had the 8oz of chicken noodle soup that I made with 2 oz of canned chicken breast.   I've probably eaten a half ounce and the rest is in the bowl.   I'm slowly going to pick at it as I finish writing this. 

On a personal note--I had a great time RV'ing with my dad and boyfriend over Father's Day Weekend.   I know I'm not supposed to know this, but my boyfriend asked my dad permission to marry me!  Haha--they both told me about it without the other knowing so it looks like they are both really excited for this, as am I!!!  I'm so excited to see my extended family in a few weeks and excited to get it over with too so that James will propose!  :)  Hopefully I'll be at a decent enough weight come 11-11-11 (our wedding date) to look fabulous in a wedding dress and not look at my pictures with disgust.   So happy right now!!! :)
