My 1st week is now complete...
« on: September 05, 2011, 02:24:39 PM »
and I've lost 6.8 pounds!  YAY!!!!

And I can honestly say that I feel it.  I feel a difference in myself mentally and physically, and this is the very first time I've tried something and I haven't felt starved, cranky, unmoved, etc.  I'm actually not hungry at all, happy as heck and thrilled because I'm looking at the big picture and see this is something I can do, all the time. 

I took my girls bowling last night and I always get the fries there (big steak fries, I love(d) them at one time).  I could smell them, I could see them...but I didn't get them.  I saw pizza and ice cream and the candy machine.  Nothing even enticed me, and I was super duper proud of myself, but also super duper happy the want for those things has been purged.  Now that I know I may as well down a bowl of sugar--well, that visual keeps me going.  Plus my butt in my old jeans!  I'll be in them before I know it.  And that is worth more than a french fry, for sure!

 ;D

THANK YOU, ALL!  I appreciate the support.  Like I wrote somewhere before, I've only told you here and my kids.  Seems like every time I try something and tell someone, I either hear how dumb it is or else weird attempts at sabatoge.  I don't need anyone holding cookies or candy in front of my face at work, telling me one won't hurt.  I'm just going to do what I'm doing and when someone notices and asks, I'll let them know.  Not to worry, I will spread the good word on the F2S book--it's just all in the timing.

THANKS AGAIN!  You are all great, and so inspiring to me.   :)
