I hate to sound like I am bragging but it's so darn exciting to see the numbers go down.
I have only ever been on a "diet" once before in my life I went from 110 to 160 over the course of 2 kids and 2 years. I lost the 55 lbs in 3 months.I was younger and it was easy. I just watched what I ate.
I kept it off for 25 years even through a nasty divorce and several not so great relationships. I weighed 109 when I married again. Everything was going great till my husband became ill.
I guess I let myself go while taking care of him.
Now with MF I feel very strongly that this will be a great success. I have the tools and the willpower and the selfishness to get the job done.
Yes
Selfishness. I have become selfish. This is time for me.
Last night DH asked me to cook dinner, I said no. Just like that ...I said no.
because I am a nibbler and I love to cook...and nibble. So I told him he is on his own till I lose this weight.
Today I took all the food out of the house that he will never eat and replaced it with easy to prepare foods for him. He has simple tastes but can eat stuff like pizza and pasta and never gain an ounce. He was a bachelor till well into his 40s so I know he can take care of feeding himself.
So that's it. He's on his own for at least two months. His health is fine now.
I'm not getting any younger.
I need this weight to be gone.
I know this is just the beginning of a long walk with MF.
I must remind myself that the weight is not going to pour off this quickly every week.
I know I will have days where I want to eat "real" food.
There's a banana on the counter that keeps calling my name and I swear if he doesn't eat it I am going to flush it down the toilet.
sorry to go on and on....but I needed to get that out
