I've lost 32 pounds! Things are going well. I go through spurts of major motivation to allowing myself a little too much. It's so interesting to me how personal dieting has to be. I am fine with allowing myself treats here and there, but I've learned that I can't keep it stocked in my house.
I LOVE Lindor Dark Chocolate Truffles so when I go to the store at the check out I grab one or two for a treat. One day I thought that it would be cheaper in the long run to just buy a bag of them so I did...big mistake. They went pretty fast. They were so yummy! So for now I stick to grabbing one or two at check out. :)
The same goes for baking. I made cookies last Sunday, which I've had to avoid at all costs because I know I'll eat lots of dough and cookies! Well, I gave some to the hubby and kids, ate a little dough, a couple cookies, then gave the rest of the cookies to a good friend. I knew if I kept it in the house I'd eat them, so why get them out and have an excuse to visit a friend? It worked out great.
This dieting thing is tough, but I love it. I love feeling better and happier. I love feeling like I have accomplished something difficult and wonderful. I love knowing that I can do hard things. I love believing that I can lose more. I love feeling the love and support from my family and friends. Thanks to all of you for your comments and even just checking my blog. I love to hear that people read it.
Thanks again and keep checking for updates!!
