I weighed myself this morning. 207. I've lost 7lbs in 7 days. Incredible!
I feel like I'm on the Biggest Loser or something! It's nice to have something that I can SEE is making me healthier. I'm taking the blood tests every month but that's four weeks apart. I can't stress enough that this is about my journey to become healthy inside and losing the weight is a by product. A great one, but nonetheless secondary as the motivation to change my food intake process.
I was very happy to start Stanzi's 10 day plan today because I can actually eat the vegetables and not just juice them. That must be why today was a rough. I experienced headaches, nausea and lots of evacuation but no barfing which is awesome! I am surprised at how I am having phantom cramping. My period isn't due anytime soon but I feel rumblings in mah lady parts! I can't tell if it's my bladder working overtime from all the water and peeing but those parts are painful. My face is breaking out even worse now and I have developed a rash on my jawline. I don't feel pretty at all.
We had a dinner long scheduled date with friends who are meat lovers and great cooks. After a few email rounds of "what can you eat?" we settled on the fact that I would be bringing my own food and they'd make what they'd originally planned for el husbando and I. They made a delicious lemon scampi as an app and scrumptious lamb sliders with home made yogurt sauce and grilled veggies. Dessert was a lemon bundt cake with home made blueberry ice cream! I honestly can say that I didn't feel deprived at all. The food looked amazing but somehow in my mind I knew that I'd be able to eat that way again at some point in my life. Just not tonight. They were gracious and we had a fantastic evening of good conversation and great stories.
It's unusual for folks to have an adult conversation about food addictions in such a casual manner but it can be done. With honesty. It's only shameful if you hide. For so many things in life!
