Well I have now been on this diet for 5 months and I am starting to see the end of the tunnel. I only have 12 more pounds to reach my goal. I started this particular diet 5 months ago at 230.8, but technically started dieting a year earlier at 255lbs. so over all I have lost about 93lbs in just over a year. Now the true test comes when I need to go off the diet and start living normally again and not gain the weight back, Right?
This is a picture I took of myself last week, My husband thinks I am nuts for taking picture's but to tell you the truth, I just don't feel like I have lost that weight and I keep hoping that looking at picture's of myself will make my mind realise it which will enable me the determination to keep it off if I believe it made a difference. I have notice people treat me differently. People are so much nicer to you when your thinner! Like I mentioned in my december post that I was considering a job change, well I did leave the company I was working with and I have found this company I get a completely different feeling from people then anywhere else I have worked. People I don't know stop and talk to me, say hello, men hope the elevator door open instead of closing in my face, people let me exit elevators or go through doors first, they are just "more polite" So now my biggest hurdles are finding cloths that fit. As you can see by the photo my size 10 clothing is getting too big. Though considering I started at a size 22, I am so happy to be able to walk into ANY clothing store and find cloths that fit! It's great! Now just to make that last 12 lbs come off quicker! Well till next time...
