Well, I felt like there were no changes in my weight forever--but then suddenly my body kicked in gear and down I go again. I weigh 165--bordering on 164! That would be 15 pounds! I guess I was on a plateau--my weight fluctuated around 167 for a long time and now I've been at 165 for almost two weeks! Hopefully it will keep going down!
Now--my weight loss has been excrutiatingly slow. But with that said, it has been easier for me to adapt to. I say adapt to because it really is a lifestyle change. The first week or two were definitely the roughest--I just had to eat less. I was overeating and its as simple as that. I think it is hard to stop overeating because your body expects it and tells you you are starving when you cut back--even though you are not.
After a week of being super cranky and drinking ungodly amounts of water, my body finally caved in and gave up on the overeating. And now--the amount I used to eat is literally not a possibility anymore as I would be sick if I tried to consume that much in one sitting. When I do eat more than what is "normal" for me now, the feeling is awful. I feel stuffed, sluggish, and just downright disgusting!
Now--I think when I hit that plateau I had to adjust again. But only just a little--barely noticeable from adding in extra water consumption again.
So I think that is a summary of my weight loss so far. I don't think that I will reach the 35 pounds by my birthday toward the end of December. I think I am starting to be okay with that too. I think it is better to do this slow and steady rather than fast and furious. I will get to that 35 eventually!
