This is day 45 for me, 6 weeks and 3 days on the limiting of artificial sugars and added sugar after 3 p.m. My measurements are beginning to show it to me (at least). I have gone down 2 inches in chest circumference. one bra cup size, 5 inches in my waist, 6 inches in the biggest part of my belly. I have changed 2 sizes down now clearly ( in the same brand I measure from so the “new sizes” won’t mess me up) I sleep MUCH better and Dh says quieter! I am now beginning to desire to eat vegetables (proof that miracles are for today!) though I prefer them steamed or grilled. This weekend I realized with my little Civic that what is missing is my old Yakima rack for our bikes! Yes, I want to bike for fun again! I find my stamina for picking up dirty socks is there again without feeling head light after the tenth one (5 folks leaving them to bless me) and best of all….well….its just alot more fun to be a complete 11% down in body weight! ELEVEN! I am so thankful for the right appetites God has given me and for the grace to learn a new way to handle life.
Hints:
1. The sugar free stuff was making me not only swell, but it kept me hungry. better a Coca cola as a treat than the wolf in sheeps clothing on diet sodas. Better above all the water!
2. Every 5 lbs try on something that was snug. I have ended up in new wardrobe from yard sales lately. My favorite brands from Dillards for $.50 to 2.o0 apiece as I change sizes down. A belt wouldn’t even cover the waist problems now though there are miles to go.
3. Each day I literally say to my self…I am shrinking as I speak…I absolutely LOVE feeling healthier by making better health choices….and my actions follow my words a lot more of the time!
Nothing is worse than a reformed dieter, so I will get off my enjoyment of the success and on to the socks awaiting on me!
