i'm wearing size 13 jeans, and my xl shirt is too big...oh boy....
i went to my parents attic and pulled out all the clothes i had up there. its a ridiculous amount. but i have to get them all washed and sorted through to see what i'll actually wear. probably not much of it.. .but there is a lot of jeans i can see myself wearing....expensive ones too

Those clothes are my smallest size clothes......once they dont fit.. its all sweat pants and t's untill i'm completely done and i can go shopping!!!! i'm sooo very excited...also excited to give myself a reward by going to arizona and seeing my brothers... last time they saw me it was christmas and i was back up to 200lbs :-( i've lost a total 16.6 pounds since the last time i've seen them! and by the time i go down in may i am confident i will be down 65lbs!!!! that will be sooo amazing... (thats 65 from 200 not from today..)
i started this diet at 191.8 with a goal weight of 130. that means i'm going to try to lose 61.8lbs to make it easier i just stuck with 60. i now have 53.4 to go!!!! yay

habits...
a lot of things i've noticed in the past 6 days are directly related to mine and i'm sure many others weight gain. It's small things you'd never think of. What do you do when you have lets say a frosting or a sauce on your hand... Do you immediatly wipe it away or do what 90% of you do...LICK IT OFF. How about when you are making food... you taste it right...maybe one spoonfull, maybe 2, 3, 4 till its just right. When I make grilled cheese for the girls I usually eat natalie's crust cause she doesnt like it...i'm eating a healthy lunch and i think to myself... its like 1/24th of the calories i WOULD have eating if i had made a whole grilled cheese. right??? WRONG!!!! its still not good. making mac and cheese..oh i love mac and cheese...but i'll have a healthy lunch and then take bites of it as i'm serviing it up.. next thing i know, i've eating 10 bites...in my book thats eating a bowl of mac and cheese. it all adds up.
in addition to the amazing weight loss i've already experienced with this diet i've learned to control my urges...realize what habits i have that aren't good. and also to say no to the foods i DONT need. i thought this would be hard... saying no isnt the hardest part... its the habits you dont realize you had. like maybe taking a few extra bites of the dinner as you're puting it away in the fridge or that extra piece of garlic bread you have... then theres alcohol. As you may have read in previous posts its really bad!!! hidden calories for sure. you would never have thought you were drinking douple your daily intake of calories and almost 5 times the amount of carbs you need in a day. done drinking thats for sure. not to mention you can't have it on this diet.
habits are hard to break but i started wearing a towel on my sholder when i cook so i can easly just wipe my hands off and not think twice. also putting the food RIGHT after dinner is the best thing i can do.
I"m giving this my all....i'm expecting to get great results...
tomorrow is my weigh in and i'm hoping it goes good. i'm hoping for 10 but will settle for 9 lol

the reason you shouldnt weigh yourself every day when you are trying to lose weight....
--you get discourage when the scale is up a few ounces or nothing at all. today i weighed 155.6 thats a 1.6lbs more than i did on sunday... i couldnt tell you why. i did everything just as i'm supposed to do.
see my problem. now i beat myself up all day long not knowing what the problem is. so now its gone. the battery is out of the scale. i'll try again on thursday and hope for no more weight gain. :( with this diet its not like i can DO anything to progress my weight loss. if i work out i'll just gain muscle and that will make me weigh more. oh well....i'll just stick with it. see what happens. i want to loose 20 total by march 26th and at 7lbs down i'm already well on my way to that goal. now i just have to find the clothes in the storage unit that fit me at that size

man i'm doing freakin awesome!!!!
i thought yesturday would be hard, but luckly i have GREAT friends that support me. even went to arby's and i didnt have anyhting. i didnt even want the curly fries. then went to a few bars in bremerton adn had water. and i still had soo much fun!!! sucks that my pants were falling off of me! oh well. this will pass...
ANNNNND i lost another 2 pounds last night. thats 7 total sooo far. 3 more and i'll have lost 10 pounds and i'll be 181 pounds. pretty exciting!!! i know i shouldnt be excited to weigh sooo much but its a good thing for me. i weighed 184 last may so 181 is the smallest i've been in years. i'm very excited to hit 175!!! i looked sooo good at 175. i'll be even more excited when i reach 150!!! man 150 is what i weighed in high school. and although i thought i was fat i was WAY smaller than i am now. and then at 150 i'll be just 20lbs away from my goal weight!
i think its easier for me to go by 20's. set a goal of 20lbs and then go to the next 20lbs. so far since 8-18-09 i've lost a total of 46lbs. the sad part is its really more like 60 cause i've gained back 20 over last summer and then ten at the end of january. i now know the results of cheating on a diet. 60lbs is what i want to lose NOW. and adding it up makes me mad that i could have already been half way there if i'd stuck to it.
oh well live and learn right!!! hope everyone enjoys the sun!!!

day 3 week 1 phase 1
day 2 wasn't too bad. not eating the delicious food that i make the girls is getting easier every day. lost 2.4 lbs since yesturday, thats a total 5.8 so far! i think thats pretty good! so i'm down to 186. my goal is getting closer pound by pound, day by day. also not as hungry as i was the first day. was able to wait till 930 today to have breakfast. i'm hoping by waiting for breakfast i wont be soo hungry at noon so i can have my lunch at like one or 2 then dinner at 5 like normal. its the time between eating thats hard. i get sooo hungry. but i'm doing good. and by this summer i should be lookin great!!!
today is gonna be a challenge.... gonna hang out with a friend and go see a movie. i'm sure there will be dinner in there somewhere...and then popcorn. i'm already getting dinner ready and my protien shakes through out the day. this is gonna be difficult. not sure how it will go. but if i have even 1 peice of popcorn its throwing me off three days. and even though i'm only 2 days into i've done really good. and i haven't given up.

WHOA!!! just weighed myself and i've already lost 3.4 pounds. I really need to put the battery away for the scale. This could become very addicting!
Yesturday was HARD, and thats an understatement. The habit of tasting food when yuo are cooking is very difficult to break. Taking bites of the girls foods is also another habit that is hard to break. Preschool is hard...yesturday they had cinimon rolls and cupcakes. Normally i'd just have a little snack. Self control is very hard when things smell soooo delicious. I just tried to convince myself that just cause things smell sooo good doesnt mean they are. I did not cheat once. I found myself a few times almost taking bites or tasting things. like when the cinnimon roll frosting got on my fingers it was almost impossible to put my hands under water and wash it off rather than lick it.
3.4 pounds in one day is a good motivation to not cheat today. Lets see how the weekend goes. Supposed to go see a movie saturday with some friends. The smell of the buttery movie theatre popcorn filling the air. oh man.... i'm already drooling for it. But i think i can say no. I'm excited to see how the first week goes
