spellbound76's Journal, 11 November 2007

Ok, my first posting here. I'm practically jumping for joy to have finally hit my 20 pounds lost mark. Took 9 weeks but I'm there. My page here says 26.5 but the starting weight was wrong. I started at 243.5 pounds. When I first logged in, I went with what my doc's office scale said, but I had 4-5 pounds of clothes on, so it wasnt' accurate. Anyway, I probably would have hit 20 pounds during the 8th week, but I had such a craving for a cheeseburger and fries. I had it for 3 days and eating turkey burgers just wasn't going to cut it. I did manage to eat a small size burger from Wendy's and the small fries. I did notice that I got full sooner. Before this diet, I'd eat the medium sized #1 and it took that whole burger to fill me up. I'm glad my little indulgence didn't cause me to gain anything. The past few weeks have been bad due to Halloween chocolate around the house, employee appreciation days at work that consisted of pizza and burgers and a slight wavering in dealing with my cravings. I have to admire myself though. I am a burger junkie. I would have at least 1 a week before. To go 8 weeks without one is a miracle for me.

That chart looks great spellbound. It's just the right slope. When the angle is too steep, the chances of regaining the weight quickly through a series of binges increases. You seem to be doing really well so just keep up the good work!

You are doing fantastic! I think part of the beauty of this eating plan is you can easily recover from any wayward grazing you do - as long as you catch it right away and refocus yourself on your goal and the reason you decided to adopt this new healty way of eating. I just returned from my weekly trip to the grocery store and I find I am noticing what others are putting in their carts - and it seems those that have healthy food choices, lots of fresh produce, healthy carbs and lean meats in their carts appear to be real healthy! It makes me feel good about the positive steps I am taking to improve my overall health. A FS buddy mentioned Bocca Burgers as a substitute for regular burgers, I meant to pick them up tonight - but forgot - I have heard from others that they are quite delicious - so I think I will take the plunge and give them a whirl. Wishing you continued success in your quest to improve your health!
