Today I am down to 185.8!I haven't been this weight since March 4, 2010. I did sink under it for a little while, but that was the month that marked my rise and four-year residence into the 190's. Here is my journal entry from that day.
Quote:Sunday I have an acupuncture appointment, my first. For those of you who thing holistic medicine is all in your head, that's half the reason why I'm going. My addiction to having food in my mouth and the taste and the feel is probably all in my head.
For those of you who believe in holistic medicine that's half the reason why I'm going. I don't want to take diet pills and medicine to get my weight under control.
First acupuncture. I'm currently doing the 200 situp challenge. I start weight watchers next week.
The acupuncture did work, in terms of breaking my addiction with food. It was bad. You would think I was crazy if I explained the full scale of my food experience around that time. To give you an idea, I could eat a full meal, sit down to watch a tv show, see a fast food commercial for something delicious, and be immediately hungry again. I could go eat that second dinner or I could feel very moody and inexplicably hungry for the next few days...those felt like my only options.
I don't really know why and when the food addiction started. I didn't grow up with it. If memory serves me right, I think it might have developed a year/year and a half prior to the post. It felt normal, but my mind knew it wasn't. So I was searching for someone who understood and could help.
Today, though, I feel spectacular despite the bruises from yesterday's tumble. I'm going to the chiropractor just because I'm sure that I'm slightly out of alignment. I have plans to go out for a few hours afterwards, and then go home for some tv before bed. Tomorrow, we'll see if my front wheel can be straightened out because it has a slight wobble now.
I am happy. That is all.
