Old habits die....they really do!
Someone tell me that Time doesn't fly. I have been meaing to actually blog about some weight related stuff this week, but I guess have been putting it off. So here we go.
I have noticed something about my eating habits lately and it is a good thing, I am eating less and eating healthier. I am talking myself out of unhealthy things. Questioning myself on if I am really hungry or if I just like the idea of eating? And if I choose to eat it, I make sure it is a smaller piece than I would normally have. I don't rememeber the last time I ate a candy bar., or bought a coke. I drink lemonade if we eat out, and we have yet to eat fast food this week. I also drink water when I think I am hungry and wait 10 minutes to see if I am really hungry or just need water.
Yesterday a co-worker brought cinnamon rolls for all of us to eat. One was calling to me in the afternoon, but instead I grabbed my bag of grapes and strawberries and I enjoyed that fruit much more than i would have that cinnamon roll. I am mastering my "everything in moderation" mantra and in the past two weeks I have seen it paying off.
Another small victory - I got out of the shower this morning and noticed that I could wrap my towel around me. We have regular towels, not extra long or anything. and the fact that I could wrap it around my body and not flash someone because my hips were too wide to make it cover everything is a big deal to me. Now mind you it doesn't close completely yet, but a little slit up my thigh is better than this big gap!
All in all I guess I am having a pretty good week. Skippy even seems to be getting back to her old self. She has started barking at people and following everyone around again, she is even eating without us having to sit and feed her now. I am extreemly thankful that she is getting well. She really scared me. And loosing her had the potential for throwing me off track for a while.
Ever the opitimist still!
