I have an admission to make: I watch Oprah. I don’t always agree with what she says, and sometimes I just shake my head at her “analysis”, but she has good topics, especially Dr Oz. I love this man, he explains things very well. I’ve been meaning to get his book for awhile and the library finally had it. If I really like it then I will buy it. It seems like I’m always reading some diet book or another. Some of the things that stuck out to me in this particular book is the talk about the waist size needing to be 32″ for a woman. I know that I carry a lot of fat in my abdomen, or my omentum. So I did like they said in the book and measured at my belly button, without sucking in, which I didn’t even really realize I was doing. 46″ I can’t believe it. I was at about 40″ sucking in. It’s just so natural to suck it all in. Now that I think back on it, I’ve always sucked it in during measurements. Getting my waist size down is something I need to work on. I was almost ashamed to post that here, but I have to be honest with myself and with others and this is the start. Lying to myself is what got me into this situation and a size 16 jeans.

I was SO hungry last night, but I stuck to my resolve not to eat after 8. That’s been a bit of a problem for me.  Finished up the day with lots of water…and looks like it paid off!

Today’s weigh in 225/205/160

-20 pounds.

The scale didn’t even tease me with multiple weights either.
