Morning Naked Weigh In - Week 17

What a STRESSFUL Week!!  Between an Emergency trip to the hospital with my husband,  Him off work all week, Lay Off's at my work, and a meeting to discuss this "critical period" at work,  I have been one stressed out Momma!  The scale shows it too....... I GAINED 1.4lbs.   Gotta get busy and hit the gym this week to work it off!  Weigh In results: 248.6 pounds. 

MORNING NAKED WEIGH IN - WEEK 16

This was a pretty bad week, weight loss wise, but I still came away with a loss. All week the scale has not budged, and then finally this morning it was down 1.2 pounds.  T.O.M (Time Of Month) showed up yesterday, so that may be why it is so low this week.   This week marked the end of another month. Monthly total loss: 7.2 pounds.  Total loss so far: 52.8 pounds!

NSV - NON SCALE VICTORY

Yesterday I finally bought a new pair of jeans since having the surgery in October! I've been wearing the same jeans I had before surgery, but they look really bad now, way too baggy.  They aren't falling off yet, but the legs and rear end just sag.  I bought a size 20 Jeans! And they fit great! At my highest weight I was in a size 28 and they were tight....  I have to admit, the thrill of fitting into a size 20 yesterday was greatly dimmed looking at myself in that full length mirror.  Seeing my clothes sag on me felt great, it showed progress!  But seeing myself in a pair of jeans that fit, really showed me how far I still have to go.... not just to goal but to just looking decent in a pair of jeans.  And I've got a belly roll above my jeans line that is still there, that really bothers me.  I put on my saggy jeans again after trying on the 20's and noticed that in those jeans too, the roll is there, I just chose to ignore it.   I was a little down last night...... but I'm feeling much more optimistic today.   I'm not going to get there over night.  And while..... 51 pounds is a lot to lose, when I have THIS Much excess weight, it's not going to have as great an impact on me as it would on someone with less to lose. My husband suggested taking pictures each month so I can compare, which I really should have been doing all along.

Head Hunger

Tonight, I'm dealing with Head Hunger.  You know that feeling that you want to eat a snack?  Even though you've had dinner, you still just want ...."something" but can't figure out just what that "something" is.  Something sweet? Something Salty? Something Snacky.   I've got that now.  I know that it is head hunger and not actual hunger.   While I'm very tempted to start trying various things to fill that craving,  I will not let myself cave in.  I am strong.  I am determined.  I will find something else to do instead....  and as soon as my phone finishes charging,  I will go to the gym and distract myself.   It is finding and maintaining the power to make THESE kind of choices EVERYDAY that will see me to my GOAL WEIGHT and keep me there. 

What An AWESOME Day!
