It's day 12, and as you already read, I have lost 6 pounds! It's been quite a journey so far, and I feel like I have been dieting for 12 years, but it is getting easier. And, even though I have had a few slip-ups, I still feel really good about my accomplishment! Though, I cannot help but wonder how much weight I would have lost if I would have been 100% dedicated to the diet. Oh well, there is nothing I can do about it now except stay on track!
There is some more pretty great news I have to share...In the last 2 days a truly amazing thing has happened. I feel slight repulsion for anything that is high in carbs and sugar. I honestly do not want to eat it, and the thought of it literally makes me feel ill. Never in my life have I felt this way about carbs! It truly is a Christmas miracle! : ) I still get cravings, but I never really know what they are for...it's this weird feeling in my body and I know I am 'craving' something, but I can never pin-point exactly what it is. And usually when I feel this way I also feel like stuffing my face with something. So, earlier today, when I felt like stuffing my face, I stuffed it with celery. Then, this evening I stuffed it with a taco salad of sorts...lettuce, hamburger meat, a small amount of salsa and some ranch dressing. Yummmmm!
So, it's been a pretty good last couple of days! There is one thing that I have noticed this week though, and it's not a good thing. I have been wanting to smoke cigarettes. I had pretty much quit, except an occasional cig if I had a drink, but now I have the desire to smoke 3 or 4 times a day. I am not sure what is causing this, but I cannot let the urge take control. I must resist!
Well, that's my update for today. Overall I am feeling really pumped about the weight loss and it makes me want to work harder. I am hoping for another 6 pound loss, but I want to lose it in a week, not 2. Though, Christmas is fast approaching and the food will be begging me to eat it. I think this year I will show it who is boss!
