Doing Great

May 07, 2009

Sometimes the scale doesn't move, but the clothes are definately getting LOOSE !   I'm down to 188.5 today (yay).  I guess my mini-goal is to get back to 175, which is where I was after my last DIET ... Atkins ... LOL.  That worked great until I went to CHINA ... no carbs there ! 

After China, I could NOT get back on Atkins.  The sight of a steak so turned me off !  Food, how to eat/what to eat is still a challenge.  I used to really like to cook ... but it is so pointless when you can only take a couple of bites !  I just don't want to spend an hour making something right now for 3 bites.    Lucky for me, I really did like the Atkins way of eating ... so I don't mind it now, either.  Last night I took my son to chinese.  They put the crispy noodles and sweet sauce in front of us.  I figured, what would a "bite" hurt.  Well, the sweet sauce was horrible !  I guess THAT is where my taste buds had changed.  The sugar kind of permeated my body ... it was awful !  It didn't even taste the same.  Weird !  Food, now is mainly just a way to get in my nutrients.  Except the crab ... that is still "to die for" !  Crab meat is one of the best ways to get in your protein.  I can't eat a 3 oz. serving yet, BUT 3 oz. gives you 20 grams of protein !  3 oz. is not that much ! 

I DO love my sleeve and look forward to it being easier and easier to work my tool.  Now, the old saying "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" will REALLY be true !
