Ok, so last week I lost two lbs, and I am down a total of 24lbs. This is good but not good enough. I wanted to be down 30 lbs by Thanksgiving, and If I reached this landmark, then I was going to allow myself some pie, but alas I didn't make my goal. this was also a big week since I am two thirds of the way done with the program. When I went in for my appointment I was discouraged at only losing 2 lbs bit the nurse assured me that I was doing a good job, and warned me about not rewarding myself with food. I thought this was interesting since in the past I always have. She told me I should reward myself with a new pair of shoes, or a massage. This was an interesting concept to me since in the past I have always rewarded myself with food. This has always been my downward spiral. I will diet diet, and lose lose lose, all the while telling myself as soon as I get to Mexico I am going to go crazy. then I go on vacation, and go crazy, and never get back on the bandwagon. I LOVE that this program was designed to teach you from the beginning how to keep the weight off. This was especially helpful during Thanksgiving. I made cauliflower potatoes and they were delicious. I made sure to only eat a tiny bit of stuffing, and I ate it with my turkey to cancel it out. all in all I would say my first holiday on this plan was a success since I didn't gain an ounce, I actually lost about 8 ounces, but I am only counting full lbs, so all in all I didn't gain. Today when I went for my weigh in they said that traditionally people will gain a couple of lbs over the holiday, so to remain flat was a huge success, and I even got to eat some popcorn....shhhh don tell them!
