IP day 11

Well, I woke up and weighed myself (just because I'm obsessive that way, LOL) and I saw a .2 loss and was disappointed. I need to lighten up (not just literally but figuratively!) because a loss is a loss!

Yeesh.... so I'm working on that.  I ended up having a busy day and wasn't prepped with lunch so I had to wait until I got home and eat. I decided to weigh again even though I had just been drinking water to make sure I was staying hydrated and I had lost another 1.2 lbs!  Of course, my body was lacking food so I know if I weighed myself now it would be higher again but that is A-Ok with me! I'm just so happy to see the numbers going down!

I put on a pair of my fat jeans that were feeling super tight not too long ago just to test my body and see what's happened since I haven't been measured in over a week.  They are super comfortable now so I know I've lost inches! Yay!

I have figured out that I'm still trying to reprogram my head a bit.....when I'm in a hurry or hungry I will see a BK or Wendy's and think "I can just stop by and get a burger!" and then I realize I can't. It's a little disappointing but it's not my stomach that's sad. It's my memory of the taste and smells of a burger and fries and a soda that I'm missing. I can stop by these places and get a salad and if I really wanted to get a burger I would have to not eat the bun. Or the ketchup. Or the fries. Or the soda.  There will come a time when I can eat these things every once in a while but the lifestyle change I'm making will eliminate a lot of carbs (which includes most sugar) for my lifetime.  I know that sounds severe but I won't eliminate all these things 100%. I'm just cutting way, way back. It's my choice....especially since my pancreas was taking a diabetic turn for the worse and I really needed to heal it and bring it back to normal which is what I'm doing right now.  If you can believe it, I cannot wait for my next physical when they do blood work! I want that diabetes to go away and I know it will now that I'm not eating sugar!  Hopefully the high blood pressure meds will get eliminated too!

Well, that's it for the moment..... one more full day before I go to my first official "weigh-in"!
