It feels great to lose!
Posted by ksbess on April 4th, 2008
Ok! So I was so worried about posting a gain this week at weigh-in and instead I LOST 2.2 pounds! I was totally psyched! There’s a lot of success at my work with this contest we’re doing and the main consensus among us is that it’s all about portion control!
I’m about 3 pounds away from the lowest I got last year when I was regularly attending Weight Watchers. I REALLY want to get below 220. That’s my most immediate goal as it’s a huge mental block for me right now.
Really and truly so far all I’ve been doing is cutting back on my junk food eating and just really being more aware of what I’m eating. I’ve been really trying to track my points the last few days because I’m tired of feeling guilty if I have a cookie or something here and there. But I never really know where I’m standing as far as points. So, that’s helped in various areas.
Small Wins for the day:
While at work I REALLY wanted to go back for a 2nd roll, but I did not. And it felt great!
I started eating some cottage cheese today and it just didn’t taste all that good. Instead of eating it all regardless, I threw it out.
How’s everyone else doing on their journey?

Great job on your loss and all the “little” successes you listed! I have also made a pact with myself — if the first 2 bites don’t taste great, then don’t eat it. I would rather spend points on something I enjoy rather than eating something just to be eating. Even if it’s a healthy something, it’s just not worth it. Keep on keeping on! You WILL get below that 220!
