8 weeks and 4 days out... What I have learned

Jul 28, 2014

I've been stressing lately that I'm not losing the way I should. According to my husband, I'm like this about everything. So, I've been reading blogs on others' weight loss and it seems I'm right on track. I'm not losing the lbs I lost in the 1st month, but I'm losing inches. I'm not too worried about the rate I'm losing but I just don't want to mess up and stall my weight loss or start gaining. I'm having a hard time finding a protein supplement that doesn't make me gag :( I found a couple of bars by Pure Protein that I like though. Those are my life savers. I also stumbled across an awesome blogger. I'm sure a lot of OH people know about her already, but I just discovered her --www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com -- I was SO lost before I found her blog. I'm NOT a creative person so coming up with new stuff to eat was very challenging for me. She takes all the guess work out of it.

So I have learned that I still cannot eat anything that has hamburger meat in it. I can have ground turkey though. That goes down just fine, but something about hamburger meat doesn't sit well with me. IF I eat bread, it has to be toasted or it balls up too much and I get sick :( but for the most part, I stay away from all breads and pasta. It was really hard at first, but now it's like I don't really even miss it.

I've also learned that even after a 40+ lbs weight loss, I sometimes still see myself as I did when I was 267lbs. I FEEL a lot better, I have a lot more confidence and I care less about how other people see me, but when I look in the mirror, I still see the old me.... Not every time, but more times than not. I'm hoping this gets better. 

I'm extremely moody. I know when I'm being an ass -but I can't stop myself. Sometimes, I feel like the world is ending... Nothing has to happen to get me feeling that way, I just wake up like that -or I'll wake up fine and then all the sudden I'm in a shitty mood. I feel really bad for my family lol.
