A whole month?
Wow, it's been a month since I got on here and made any changes. But big changes are coming!
I'm up to 203 - hardly exercising just working all the time. But I have taken a big step and will be having my introductory appointment at Dr. (S) Bernstein's Diet Clinic next Wednesday the 8th... this is a medically supervised weight loss program that guarantees a 10 pound per month loss... or it's free. I imagine you have to sign your first child away if you cheat... but they claim that most people lose between 17 - 25 pounds per month. I know it's fast... but I am so ready for this!
It's also screamingly expensive. It will likely take me 6 months to lose 100 pounds, and it's $1125 for 8 weeks... so multiply that by 3. I'll be paying somehting like $30 per pound to lose my weight but it will be gone! No surgery. I just have to follow the plan (super low calorie but NOT starvation, plus injected vitamins and a proscribed eating plan)... and it will be gone. I hear the first three days are HORRIBLE... but after that, it's quite do-able. And if I keep up my exercising (which I actually have been doing), it will stay off. Also I need to stick to it and plan any minor escapades I take off...
I know I can do this. Much harder will be sticking to the "I promise I will not buy ANYthing until I hit 140 or one year" promise I had to make in order for hubby to okay this major expenditure.
This is part of HOW I'm going to do it:
Eat mindfully
Do not eat at the computer
Drink a glass of water 10 minutes in advance of eating
Set the table - and sit at the table to eat
Pray first
Put your fork down between bites
Chew 20 – 40 times
I'm scared... I'm excited... I am so hopeful...
