Tests are done
I went yesterday for my glucose test and today for the ultrasound of my liver. So I don't go back to the doctor's until Jan. 21. I would imagine that if something was horribly wrong they would call before then.
Anyway, I haven't eaten much the past 2 days due to those tests. I had to fast and then to eat only fat free foods. You don't realize how many foods have fat, even if they are low fat. I lived on veggies and a cup of white rice. Needless to say, I did not get all of my points in yesterday.
Today I was thinking about losing weight. It sucks that it takes so long to lose it. I realize that it does not get packed on overnight, however, I have had plenty of days when I felt like I gained 17 pounds in one sitting! I know it is a slow process to do it right, but it is hard to always stay positive and look at the bright side of it all. I keep trying to tell myself that I am making great progress and making positive changes. Any loss is a good loss right?
Hubby has still been giving me little rewards each day for staying OP. Last night he brushed my hair for me. Sounds silly, but when I was little my mom used to let me lay my head on her lap and brush my hair. I found it to be incredibly relaxing and still do. So my hubby did that for me last night. He has been great.
I think the worst part of it all is knowing I am losing weight, but still seeing the big, rolly polly, belly and not feeling good about that. However, I know deep down, it will change!!!!
Hang in there everyone! We can do this!
. Also I know exactly what you mean about taking so long to lose weight. It IS easy to get discouraged. I do so on a regular basis. At least once a day I think "What am I even doing this for". But then I remember that I actually have 2 reasons. I want to do it for my kids so I can play with them and also for my own self esteem issues. I hope this helps you out! Sometimes it helps to know that you're not the only one :D
