So I’m in week three. Not happy with myself because I haven't followed the plan 100% but mostly unhappy because I know this diet works!
Okay, so only four days into the diet I was tempted and I weighed myself.. Four days and I had lost 7 lbs! It was amazing!! But the downside -- I got "happy" and figured "eh, I can cheat here and there and still be good".. No, no, no!! I feel like a kid sneaking food around -- and what's worst is that my own son has caught me and asked, "mom, can you eat that?".. I felt so guilty..
So yesterday morning I had a talk with myself and told myself that this is for me and nobody can do this for me. I've been very unhappy with my weight and cheating and/or eating like I used to isn't going to help lose the weight so I cooked my breakfast and lunch. During lunch I ran into a friend who just finished the diet, she looks wonderful.. That was enough.. I even felt embarrassed at myself for knowing that I cheated..
On a good note, which is also quite motivating.. I put on some knee high boots (which I only wear w/pants because my calves are so thick that they won't zip up all they way)..And they zipped up all the way! Not only that, but they actually slouch down when I walk.. Great feeling indeed! I'm early enough into the plan that I can "start all over" so here I go!! Oh, and no more weighing myself until I have to!!
