I'm sorry I haven't been posting anything since October 7! Wow. I'm also sorry I wasn't losing a ton of weight.
Well, at least I'm down to 184, this morning. And I can wear my ring again! I haven't been able to wear this in Months, maybe a year. It was too tight on my fat fingers. When I first started wearing this ring (size 6) it was pretty loose on my finger.
One night in my sleep it fell on the floor. I'm glad I didn't have it resized then because I wouldn't have had it to wear for the last 8 years (at least).
Wow! That's great, and so neat you can wear your ring again. This is one of those little blessings that we get surprised with along the way.
ReplyDeleteThe way for me has been an interesting journey. I would never have made it this long,two+ months and 25 lbs, had we not:
1- adhered to a basic structure that actually works, and
2- support each other to motivate us to keep on keeping on.
I am coming along slowly and surely. I'm now 10 lbs from reaching my prime dive weight, which is my first major goal. Just being here is a nice feeling.
I have momentarily plateaued at 165 for a few days. I rather expected this would happen. I just need to carry on until I can kick it into another gear.
Admittedly, as the holidays grow nearer, I see the trip-up foods I want to cook, roast, bake or slosh in my coffee. But I somehow have sort of turned off that part of me that just blindly joins in the merrymaking foodie fun. When I have an urge to splurge, I think:
I only have to wait two hours, and I can eat. I'll have some yummy protein, and something no-carb to pair with it, and I'll be fine; so find something useful to do in the meantime.
Its been like flipping a switch. Its working for me right now, so I'll use it!
