Onderland and then some FINALLY!!!

HIP HIP HURRAY!! Yesterday the scale was 201 and this morning, 199..at 5 1/2 months. I am so thrilled and just want to keep on going. I think its been 20 years since I have been one hundred anything and it feels fabulous! One thing I have learned is that even though I have this amazing tool, I still have head hunger and give in sometimes. I can snack, graze and those calories definitely add up. Yesterday was a prime example..I wanted a cinnamon bun in the worst way and eventually bought some while grocery shopping. I felt defeated in that I still need to work on cravings etc and how I gave in to it (just like in the old days that got me to my heaviest). But the amazing part of this whole incident is that once I grilled half of one (the gooey half!!) I could only enjoy 1/4 of that before I was full and satisfied. I LOVED that part because I got to taste what I really wanted without consuming the whole thing and all those unnecessary calories. So for me and my mindset that was incredible. I don't have to beat myself up over it and feel the guilt.

The next time that happens, I will be able to remember and draw from that. I am so loving this amazing new life!!

Wooohooooo.... I'm waiting for that day I am in onederland. The weight loss has slowed and I am so close I can taste it.( it tastes sooo good better than any food lol) 

 

Yay!! Way to go!! so happy for you!!! 

I am Loving this new life too, I was just talking to hubby about that yesterday.  He was saying that he was disappointed that we can`t go to the Keg anymore.  I told him, of course we can, and the best part is that it`s going to cost us half of what it used to! I wont be having 4 chocolate martinis, an appy, my meal and dessert anymore. Now he can order the biggest meal on the menu, and I will have a few bites of steak,  a bite of his twice baked potato and a couple asparagus and be full, AND completely satisfied that I had a great meal out with my husband :) 

What a great life!! NOTHING revolves around food anymore... except for when those nagging cravings kick in.. but hey.. it`s all a learning process, and we`ll get through those!! 

Have a great day and enjoy the journey through Onederland!

 

I went to the keg a few weeks ago and ended up with enough for about 4 more meals ! Yum yum

That is so true..its absolutely NOT about the food anymore. Doesn't matter what's on the menu whether at home, at a restaurant, or at friends, I know how much I will take and that will be that. I LOVE THAT. And even if there is something delicious that I want to try, I can only have a bit so it had better be worth it. I still struggle with cooking a lot of food (I did that so I would have leftovers) and now leftovers get thrown out before they can get eaten. Our grocery bill has dropped considerably and even eating out is so much cheaper when I order an appy and am satisfied!!!

Hi there

Good for you, that must feel fantastic.  I have been giving in to a few too many cravings and when I saw the doctor this week, I had only lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks, but the doctor was happy with that.   I still have a long way to go but hopefully I'll be able to celebrate that one day.  Right now, it seems far fetched.

Today I had Japaneese food, tempura one of my favorite, but I got to stay away from deep fried stuff, I know thats a weakness.

 

Take care
