You've brought up some really relevant points in your blog today, Don and since I know what I weighed before the fantastical cruise we took, (310 lbs.) I realized something this morning just as I was about to weigh; what if I only lost the weight that I gained while on the cruise? Although it doesn't seem likely, and I'm wearing some things that I couldn't wear during the cruise, I could have lost inches and not pounds. I know, I sound like I'm obsessing, but I do not want to be devastated if I don't see a significant weight loss.Bottom line?...I couldn't get on that scale! And I'm glad I didn't. I too will wait until I am mentally ready for the truth.
On the upside, hubman mentioned today that I must have lost about 15 lbs. since the cruise. I, being ever greedy wanted more, so I asked, what do you mean?....how can you tell? *giggle* He said, "well, that night shirt is swimming on you"...*Huge grin*. Yes! It's beginning to show!
Today I am going to have a shake after my coffee, which I am enjoying right now. And for lunch, I really want more of the eggs with salsa. It's the one thing I cannot live without on this plan. I do miss the dreaded BREAD!! so I've been thinking of having some tuna on a low carb (7 grams) whole wheat pita for dinner, somebody stop me!!! I know that in the past, when I've had one taste of it, I wanted more. *sigh* Yeah, I'm facing a dilemma here and I know it. Do I test myself and try my best not to go overboard or do I use my will power and resist altogether? Some mind wrestling will be going on today, I can feel it.
Well, that's my day so far...be back later.
And thanks for the comments from my last post, you are a help, more than you know!! I love coming back to read them all. And you have a great weekend too, Galpal ;)
Hi Sunny Girl..
ReplyDeleteFirst, wow.. your huband notices.. THATS GREAT!
Next, on the scale issue, you totally got what I posted. It's not that I don't want to weigh (same with you), it's just I want to be ready to handle that part of the process both process wise, and emotion wise CORRECTLY, and with all the changes we are currently making, I'm not ready for that one yet.
NOW.. for the PITA.. please, resist, don't do it.. that one item is more than 1/3 of your total carb load for the day (20 net carbs or less if you are doing long term induction). I know you and you know me... we're both BREAD JUNKIES.. I'm staying totally away so I am not tested, consider doing the same if you can. I know you can do it. Do the roast beef, tomato and cheese under the broiler, with mustard or something like that. To me it was like having a hot sandwich, without the DEAMON BREAD MONSTER at the table.
Remember, we own our choices, and are responsible for every one we make.
