Good Morning!
Day 2 of staying on plan was a success! That solid yellow square was hard earned yesterday! I want to report I felt emotions instead of stuffing them down!
Terra you remind me so much of myself. Wanting to lose weight and not knowing where to start. I used to think if I just exercised enough that it would come off. I had to learn to only put healthy stuff in my mouth. Now I am learning to not put so much of it in my mouth. My idea of healthy was pre packaged diet foods. Now I know it is fresh or frozen veggies and fruit, fish, chicken, eggs, nuts, and meat. It was all the sauces, and empty carbs like pasta, breads, cereal, sugars, candies and baked goods (Yes even "diet" ones.) that were doing me in. Everyone is different and has to find what works for them. My best advice is to keep learning and trying until you find what works and you can live with.
Fi I don't know if you've ever tried anything sensory to help you through these times. When our daughter is having troubles with feeling out of control she wears a weighted vest or lies down and covers up with a heavy (25 pound) blanket. We do other things like having her roll up tight in a regular blanket like you would swaddle a baby. It really helps her. Maybe give it a try, you never know. Wishing you well.
Sam you go girl! I'd like to google the baking soda thing. What do you recommend I type in?
Jane thanks for reminding me to focus on my clothing sizes. My body shape has stayed the same so it does trick me into thinking I have not made much progess.
Yesterday I was sitting in the chair and I grabbed my large pannus and told it I did not like it, I don't want it to hang around anymore and that I would be getting rid of it! It was a step from wishing it was gone to telling it I am Spring cleaning my body and it will take a while but it is outta here!
How is everyone doing?
