Crazy how this entire journey has been a nonstop series of ups and downs. As I have often said. This week was definitely an up. I went to my weigh in and had a surprise I did not expect, a huge weight loss. I lost 7 lbs this week. I don't trust that this loss is going to stick because its too much for one week but it still felt good to go and see that. My leader made me an example at the meeting and made me tell my total weight loss so far.
I'm feeling positive about what's happening right now, I'm looking good and people can see it in my face that I am feeling differently about myself and my self image. I still have all my issues those will take time to resolve, if ever they are resolved, but it is wonderful to at least have some of my perspective change and shift. I've decided that I want to again try my hand at maybe cooking. I've been buying a lot of prepared food because its easier to calculate my points but I would like to eat a few less processes foods. Here's to new outlooks and beginnings! And for a continued happy shiny feeling:)
Now I have that song stuck in my head!
ReplyDeleteWhat a turning point for you! You're acknowledging the good and the positive. Own it sister!
Cooking your own meals will be a huge learning curve for you. It also will involve time commitment. It's going to be tough going but if you find easy recipes then you should have no problem. Best thing would be to aim for cooking Mon-Thurs since you know you will most likely be home, since you'll have to get up for work the next day. Another plus will be leftovers! I'm in favor of them which as a single woman, will make it easy to plan lunch and even dinner the day after.
As always, I'm proud of you and more importantly you should be proud of yourself! Love you! <3
