Week 7: Down 3 lbs !
I have been having some problems with my PC, so blogging is not going as well as I'd like; however, the diet is continuing to work. I'm down three (3) pounds this week.
I was able to pick up my activity level, after my foot injury last week. Although the foot remains a little tender, I have been able to walk and get out to play with my hounds a little each day.
My Jenny Craig consultant is always so cheerful and upbeat. She tells me how great I'm doing and won't it be great to maybe be in the 180's in two weeks? Truthfully, I didn't know how F-A-T I'd gotten when I started the programme and thought, two months ago, I was about 180. You can imagine how stunned and depressed I was to find out it was really 210. So does the idea of being 180 thrill me? Hell no. I'm also disgusted that I've now lost 18 lbs and am STILL wearing the same size clothes. They ARE definitely looser-fitting, and that's a good thing, but come on already! 18 lbs isn't a clothing size? I can squeeze into the next size down but only if I want to stand up all day and be really uncomfortable or risk catching flesh in a zipper. I know I will eventually get there but it's just crazy to me. It also cheeses me off when I hear these little skinny chicks say they want to lose 5 lbs to get into their jeans. Something is seriously wrong with that. 5 lbs is a clothing size for skinny gals but almost 20 isn't for me? I've been at this for almost two straight months now and NO ONE notices.
The diet is working; the inches are coming off and I do feel better but it
sure would be nice to have some tangible evidence ... like some "fat pants" to have in my closet for a change. I figure I will look and feel a whole lot better when I get down to around 160, which is still WAY too big and above what is healthy for my height and frame and even that is STILL 22 lbs away.
I'm 52 lbs from my goal weight ... about the weight of my 2nd grader.
I'm not unhappy with the diet and the plan definitely works ... but I want a clothing change! <sigh>
Next month I will see a friend that I have not seen since April. I'm hoping I will have lost another 10 lbs by then. I'm wondering if she will notice I'll have
lost 30 lbs at that point. My guess is, if things keep going like they are, she won't.
Does anyone else have this happen to them?
