I walked around yesterday in a glow. I felt like everybody should see me and know how good I look! I expected to go up a bit today but nope down again. WOW. It just shows me that I am doing what is right for my body. It's like I've finally found that sweet spot. I was not ment to be fat. I was not ment to be a little chubby I was ment to be healthy! My body wants to be a healthy weight. It was just the carb monster all those years blocking my way! =) I'm getting close to -30lbs and I'm going to go for another 18 after that. My weight loss has not slowed down infact it's picked up. It really makes me think that 125 is a doable goal. I always thought I'd have to kill my self to get into the 130's and live on rabbit food and obbessive exsercie but wtih this WOE it's possible. I will do it! Feeling very blessed by these answer to my prayers. To be free of the roller coaster and the cravings is truly a gift.
ETA:
If forgot to write earlier that my husband told me last night that he thinks I'm a really dilligent person. He admires my hard work and dedication. That really felt like a huge compliment. I've never felt very dilligent I've always felt weak and easly swayed. But looking back over the last year of this journy I have shown dilligence. I guess it's it's never too late to change, to grow and to learn.
I love that doing what is good for me is becoming important to me. I've never felt worthy of taking care of. Avoiding certian food because it's better for me to do that feels more like freedom than a jail. Crazy as that may sound.
LAst year in January I cut out white sugar. I was still eating honey and dates. I've cut out sugar before with great results but not this time. Month after month I continued to gain wight while eating not sugar......I felt like I was trapped. What I didn't realize was that I was replacing it with natural sugar, the honey, dates, and even fruits. I am a huge carb addict. So on July 18 I started Atkins. I didn't realize how far my addiction had taken me. How badly I was addicted. I felt awful for weeks. I craved bread, white flour, sugar but I made it through and now...well. I'm down almost 30 lbs. I cold hardly squeeze into my size 14's and now I'm in an 8. I feel cute and sexy for the first time in years. I've broken the 140 barriar that I have not crossed in 12 years. 12 YEARS. I came home from my honeymoon fat and have never gone back. My poor husband. It' only took 12 years to figure out the probelm and work on fixing it.
I jsut feel like I could go on and on..... I need to have this to look back on when the times get hard again
