So I am continuing to lose weight and it definitely feels good to be just back into the one hundreds again. When I started weighing over 200 pounds I think I was in denial. I would weigh myself once in a blue moon (because obviously I wasn't thinking too much about my weight in general) and when I would see a 200+ number I would think to myself: "Well, I'm weighing myself in the afternoon. I'm feeling pretty bloated. I have some clothes on. This is only temporary, I will be back down in no time without even thinking about it." I can't believe I fooled myself for so long.
But now after three weeks I have said goodbye to the 12 pounds that I have been in denial about. I think from here on I will be even more excited with any weight loss because somehow in my mind I never really did weigh 212 pounds. It must have been a "fluke". I have only been over 200 pounds one other time in my life and the highest was 205. Obviously that weight was sticking because it took me this long to get rid of it.
My weight loss is averaging 4 pounds a week at this point which is a great start. I am starting to become more realistic and I know that my weight loss is going to slow down and that is not a bad thing in itself. I am so ready to be the thinner, more healthy version of myself. I can already see how many of the things I have learned on this diet I can incorporate into my maintenance lifestyle. So far I am loving this diet and I feel like it is so doable. Especially because it makes it easy to stick to the diet on weekends when I would normally fall off of the dieting bandwagon. Feeling good in general about getting my health back on track!
