Hello! I can't believe I can stand to lose 100 lbs, but it appears I can indeed do so. So here I am! I started very close to 235, though I didn't actually weigh myself until my clothes fit better. I am estimating I have lost 14 lbs based on how tight my clothes fit another time that I weighed 235. In any case, my goal is exactly 100 lbs less. At 5'4", it's not a too terribly unrealistic goal. And it's what I weighed on my wedding day 11 years ago. And saddly, I wasn't happy at 135 then! But boy would I ever be now!
I'm proud of myself for having lost 14 lbs. Tomorrow marks 3 weeks of trying...again. So 14 is very, very good.
And happily, I sailed through Thanksgiving! I figure if I can get through the holidays, I can get through anything. I drank a slim-fast shake as late as I could put it off and then when I loaded my plate up, I did so with about a tablespoon's worth of food per item. And I ate slowly. My only concern was that I really didn't know how many calories I was eating. Also, I had to do that two days in a row since I hosted twice. But that's all behind us now! I'm back to my normal six meals of 200 calories each! I feel better eating this way. Much better than one slim-fast and just one other meal. That's not healthy.
I hate breakfast, and always have. I find that if I eat too early, I actually gag. I don't know why this is. So I've happily settled into drinking a slim fast shake on my way to work. I don't gag on it, it has vitamins in it, and then I simply have my first meal/snack at 10:00.
