I just came from weigh-ins and I'm at a total loss of 18 pounds in just over 5 weeks. Was really hoping I would hit the 20 pound mark but I guess I'll have to wait another week (and add 2 days to my weekly fasting - woo hoo!!). I am at the point where my fat pants are finally too big so I'm starting a pile in my bedroom - now what to do with them?? If I had complete confidence in myself and my commitment I would pack them up and donate them but that's a lot of money in jeans and black pants to send out the door. The plan is to never need them again but what if... If I don't have them lying around what happens if my smaller fat pants that I'm wearing now ever become to tight ~ I won't have them to slip back into. The theory of getting them out of the house is a good one but can I do it?? I may need to stare at the fat pile for another week or so before I decide.
So I head into week 6 and I will get 2 pounds off this next week so I can loudly proclaim I lost 20 pounds. Twenty pounds sounds like you are actually doing something about being fat. Anything under 20 makes me think "that girl is going to throw those 18 pounds back on next week." I'm not sure why the number 20 means so much to me but it does. Thirty will be even sweeter and when I hit 40 pounds down I'm having a vodka tonic party for anyone that wants to join me in celebrating. OK, let's be honest, I'm having that party a number of times before I hit the 40 pound mark.
So my date night of April 4 is fast approaching. I slipped the plum dress on the other day - and although I'm not svelte, I have to say that it fits and I love it! That will be one of my vodka tonic celebration days so I better plan on fasting Tuesday and then again weigh-in day next Thursday. Starvation, leaves, veggies & vodka - I finally found my perfect diet!!!
Food for thought: when Dave and I wanted to stop smoking, it was a lot easier when I decided that starting again wasn't an option and ignored all the outside sources saying how hard it was to quit and how it's easy to fail. Once you remove your big fat pants as an option, you may find the weight falls off a lot easier. And you might panic more if your small fat pants start to feel tight.
