Weigh-in: Week 59, In For The Long Haul

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

My weigh-in was what it was.
The scale is difficult to read (not digital), old and not adjustable. MAYBE I’m still weighing in where I was last week, maybe I was reading it wrong the last two weeks.
I refuse to get frustrated. My temptation is to go drop $50 on a scale. Nope. My choice is [...]

FINI!!

Tuesday was good, I was really wanting water. Number of glasses is a guess, I just kept reaching for it and wanted hardly any grape soda. I consider this focus finished for now and will work to stay on the water and keep increasing it. YEA!!!

Monday was day four of no dew or sweet tea. And, I’m still clean of those addictive-to-me drinks.
It is not just the calories, or even the caffeine (which I’m over sensitive to). These are gateway drugs to me. Once I’m having those, I find myself willing to [...]

What I did yesterday was pick up some grape soda - which is okay because it satisfies the craving without generating more craving.
If I can hang in there today and tomorrow, on drinking water, on the tea and dew, I’ll consider this water watching a GREAT success. [...]

YAY AGAIN!

What’s happening is my body is starting to want water.
10 days ago, it definitely did NOT want water, it wanted the others.
This is happening much more quickly than I had hoped so I am working to stay with it. If I can get through today, without craving tea [...]
