Week 3 complete

This journey to a new lifestyle sure isn't easy. Normally, I would be beating myself up and go get the most fattening thing I could find and gorge. Today, I won't. I will stay up late tonight and do the meal prep that I haven't been doing the last few days. The days that make a difference between a gain and a loss. Between keeping fat burning going and bringing it to a screeching halt. So progress this week.

Feeling ok. Repeating affirmation in order to fight this negative self talk.

This is what 202.2 looks like on a 5 foot half an inch body. Won't go into a negative rant. Suffice it to say, enough is enough.

Some time late last year or early this year, I'm not quite sure when it happened. I did what I thought I'd never do and that was tip the scale over 200 pounds. I have been struggling with depression and stress for at least 6 years. In that time I had gone from 169 pounds  to 202 pounds. A friend from middle school had become a weight management coach. I watched her fit physique tighten up through the program. I had gone to a medically monitored weight loss doctor and had dropped to 171 May 2013. Yet, here I was over 200. I am not into supplements and things of that nature. I saved up the money for the supplements and started the program. 

The first week was fruits and veggies only with vitamins, fiber, B-complex and a carb inhibitor. I lost 8.9 pounds and 3 inches. It wasn't really hard until I went to a funeral. All the fried chicken and macaroni and cheese surrounding me was a bit painful. I was tired of salad with no dressing. Here I am in the 2nd day of Week 2 and I feel ok. Started more supplements yesterday. My body didn't particularly care for one. Had to stay close to home. I am venturing out today and I hope that my body behaves better today. Didn't really sleep well. Actually, broken sleep is my norm but the last week I have had a bit better rest. I hope this transition period is short and I can sleep tonight.
