Slowing Down

Well, my weight loss is definitly slowing down, and it is to be expected.  I was practically starving myself in the beginning and was seeing fast results but I took everyone’s comments and made a decision.  I need to do this the healthy way so it will stick.  So, I started adding more food to my diet.  Healthy, low calorie, low fat foods, but more of it.  Then I had a death in the extended family (a cousin) and everything that goes along with that.  So I ate.  Southern Comfort foods with the rest of my southern family.  You know fried chicken, potatoe salad that type thing.  I did ok though.  I only a little bit of it and still managed not to gain.  But it seems harder and harder not to eat my old foods now that the fats are back in my system.  I had mexican for lunch with collegues today, but again I tried to eat at least semi-healthy and I am taking the Alli pills.  I stayed within my calories and fat according to my alli plan so maybe I will be ok. 

 I just have to stick with it and know that I can tell a difference in my body.  My clothes getting loose so what I am doing is worth it.  I need to start adding some exercise back into my day.  Maybe walking.  I guess we will see. 

It really does help to read other blogs and see that I do not struggle alone and it is encouraging to see so many who have made so much progress.  We are all hear for the same thing.  We can do it…together.

    Sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin. It’s good that you didn’t over indulge on all the good cooking there though. I had a WMU meeting at my mom’s church yesterday and I felt the same way. Those older women can COOK, but I managed to just eat 1 Tbsp. of each thing (not sure how I did that). Anyway, all in all, it’s best if we don’t completely deprive ourselves and just have the little bit of each thing.
    Hang in there. You are doing great with your weight loss. Just remember that even when the weight loss slows down, you are still doing your body more good by continuing on with the weight loss plan. Those scales will start dropping again soon. Hang in there!! :)
