Hey, Hey, a declaration was made about a month ago, i said that i no longer wanted to be a overweight / obese woman anymore. So its time to pay the piper, what have i changed since our last chit chat. Well, I am no longer a 485lb woman. As of this morning i am now 464lbs. Lets do the math 485-464= -21 now that's not much but you know what? Its a damn good start in the right direction. You know what i have been here before "weight wise" so lets just keep this ball rolling, i am not getting too excited and staying focus on the little achievements as they happen.
So what has changed? Okay so i walk at least 10 mins a day i go out. I make sure i have 6 meals a day, i took the advice of my nutritionist and have my fruits and veggies servings at every meal time and not cram it in at lunch or dinner. I continue my portion control strategies and a big lesson learned was not trying to run the marathon the first race out the gate. Meaning don't go fast there is no race brewing here so slow your ass down and don't do too much to fast. Haa..
I also make sure that all cylinders are working and at the same time. In the past i would do the portion control but not the exercise or the exercise and support but not the portion control. Lesson learned i have to have everything clicking and on the same track here. Now i think i may have it, taking it nice and slow and work on all of the attributes together as the well oiled machine i am. I also have support too i get to sit with a nutritionist and a overweight persons support meeting and i think its helping. At least its penetrating the fact of importance on change and since the meeting is 3 or 4 blocks away i get that 10 mins of walking in too. (Now that's using the ole noodle)
Am i proud of myself so far? Yes i am but don't tell anyone i said that because i almost never show happiness with success when i am concerned. Yes, a character flaw of mine but we can always work on that later in the game. So my jeans are creeping off my bum more than usual now but i am at least 6 inches shy of fitting a belt i brought about 3 months ago so the first goal is to get that around me and buckle it!
I am going to go work on that goal and if anything good happens in the meantime i will speak to you all soon.
What a wonderful start! How encouraging that must be for you! I'm so glad to hear of your support system... that will make all the difference in the world.
