I forgot to post my "Things I'm Grateful For" yesterday. Well, not quite. I kind of posted it in the other blog.
I'm grateful that a week in (I know it's just a week), I have lost 2kgs. I've lost a cm off all of my measurements.
But I've lost more than that. Already, I'm forming new habits, to replace my old, unhealthy ones. I've stopped eating out of boredom. I've stopped (though this has been very, very difficult) my middle of the night eating, my biggest weakness and a habit that has formed over the past year or two.
I'm now thinking consciously about whether I'm hungry. About what I'm putting into my body. And about portion size. I'm learning not to trust my stomach to tell me it's full - as it rarely does until I've binged. Rather, I'm being cautious with my portion sizes and making myself stop. As much salad or steamed veges as I want, but minimal carbs (I still need some, but I'm eating Low GI) and smaller serves of protein.
I'm more active. I'm spending less time just sitting and more walking around, playing with the boys, bouncing on the trampoline or working out.
Speaking of which. I'm grateful for Ibuprofen.
WOOOOHOOOO! Way to go Mel!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the loss! That is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteOne thing that helped me with portion control, was to only eat half of what was on my plate, leave it for 10 minutes (I normally go and stack the dishes ready to be washed, or load the dishwasher) and then decide if I need the rest of my dinner. Nine times out of 10 I decide I don't need it, and pack it as my lunch for the next day at work.

This is wonderful progress, Mel! Keep going, perseverance until it is usual habit is the key ;)
ReplyDelete*gimme an M....*
That is wonderful, well done!
ReplyDeleteAfter a while of conscious eating food just becomes fuel for your body and not comfort. Keep up the good work :)
Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat start! I started this week and I can't believe how much I've changed in one week aswell. I'm not eating just because I haven't got anything else to do, I'm not grabbing for chocolate and instead getting some fruit when I feel like something sweet.
ReplyDeleteI feel SO good and have already lost over a kilo so I'm keen to keep up the good work!!
