Well, it is now day 5 and I am down 17 pounds! That's right! 17!! I am thrilled!! I can't believe how much better I feel, even with just 17 pounds! I say "just" 17 pounds, but it really is huge!! I feel lighter, if that makes sense! I am finding that I have more energy, and even the hunger pangs are subsiding! I made a vinegarette with just plain white vinegar and Splenda for a no-calorie spritz! It's just a bit of flavor for those dull salads! I got to have 2/3 of a cup of chicken broth, and I swear, it was the best thing I had ever tasted! I also got a sugar-free jello - I was in HEAVEN!! It's so great to be able to have a small treat like that once in awhile! I ate it with one of BabyJ's spoons, so it felt like more and I ate it a lot slower! It was awesome!
Today we went to a birthday party, and I was SO proud of my willpower! There were vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting, my kryptonite, and I SAID NO!! I didn't even lick the icing off of my fingers when I gave G her cupcake! How strong am I?!?! I wiped it on the napkin and I had some water instead! Yay me!!!
I feel better already. I'm finding moving a lot easier, and I am just feeling good. I'm super tired sometimes from the calorie drop, but that is just temporary. And if I have some water or salad, I am good to go again! I wish I had done this years ago, but I am proud of myself for making this decision to do it now!
I'll keep you posted!
Love J
