It's been an interesting week. My parents were staying with us from last Wednesday through yesterday. So we did a lot of movie watching, video game playing, Angry Bird gaming, tax filing and so on. Basically a lot of sitting around at home. Typically, this is the kind of scenario that causes me to overeat. I spend my couch time stuffing my face with popcorn, cookies, ice cream and other fatty things. But I really feel like it's getting easier for me to stop eating after dinner. I feel fuller longer and I haven't been craving as much sugar as usual.
In fact, I have a pair of pants that I bought for work a few months ago. I wore them a few days ago and I felt like I was wearing a circus tent (slight exaggeration). But I'm not the only one that's noticing a difference. Greg said he can really tell that I've lost weight when he hugs me. And my mom who hasn't seen me since Christmastime said that I look thinner too. I like think to think that they're not just trying to encourage me to keep going but that it's actually working. Slowly but surely my weight is dropping.
Things I learned this week:
-Wearing baggy clothes doesn't look so good but buying new clothes while your on a diet seems like a waste of money.
-Sometimes you just need to take a break from dieting and eat delicious creamy pasta from Alberona's in Fremont. YUM!

ReplyDeleteNo I did not say that you look thinner to make you feel better about yourself. I said it because I can really see how much thinner you are. You look fab!! Keep up the good work sweetie.
