Weight Loss and Deprivation.

I'm happy to report that my weight loss is moving in the right direction again. I have lost that 1.5 pounds I gained during my PMS stage and hopefully I'll see an even bigger improvement (maybe another 1.5 pounds by Monday. I intend to do some celebrating this weekend, but the funny thing is that I'm happy with my food choices. I don't absolutely deprive myself, but I am still careful what I eat.

For example, yesterday, I wanted some Combos. You know that really salty pretzel food with cheese stuffed in the middle. Well, instead of eating the whole bag, I just had one serving. I wasn't absolutely satisfied, but I did indulge and again, I'm happy with the way I handled my craving.

What I like most of all is comparing my now (16 lbs thinner) pictures with my pictures from back in January. Even though it's just a few pounds less, what a difference. My face looks smaller, I don't look so swollen and even my skin looks clearer. These are the benefits of losing weight and eating right. Why didn't I think of doing this before? Oh Yeah, I did. Why is it working now when it didn't work before? Because I wasn't committed. I wasn't ready to be. I wanted to eat anything I wanted. I can't stand working out. However, the reality is I owed it to myself to find out how to get away from fat. I owed it to my husband and my children too.

Now I don't take any fat burners or try to lose weight artificially, not yet anyway. I'm just watching my food choices and portions and moving a little more. You'll be surprised what you're satisfied with after you train your body to accept less addictive food choices.

Try it one day..actually a few days in a row. No Sugar! No Rice! No Bread! No Chocolate! It will be hard. You'll feel like you're in a daze. You might even feel angry and deprived. That's the addiction coming out. Then all of a sudden you won't feel those things so much. You won't feel them everyday. You'll be satisfied.

Happy Weight Loss!
