No diet talk from me!
on August 5, 2008 1:00 pm
I dont feel like im too skinny and I  dont feel like I  have the mentality of an average person  either.  I think im  some where in  between. You'll  never hear me turn  down food b/c I am  on or need to be on a diet.  It always makes me chuckle  when my friends will  limit what they eat  b/c they think they  need to lose some weight.  I love the  DS...all those rich, delicious foods are  okay for me to eat. In fact, they are  more healthy for me  to eat then for my  normal non-wls friends.  That makes me feel great! 

And when I order  food and ask for more mayo or  toppings, etc...the  guys always  smile...like they  are happy to see a  girl eat. Im no  longer judged by what I order, how I  order, or whether or  not I want some more.  When your  thinner and like to  eat...it is almost  like a turn on for  guys. 

Maybe guys are  just tired of hearing normal sized  girls talk about  their weight or  their need to be on  a diet. 

That, or maybe im  also just so damn  cute! lol j/k

Month 17
on August 2, 2008 8:03 pm
Month 17...still -192 pounds. 
Shirts 26/28 - Small/Medium
Pants 24 - 4

I thought I might have to take protein enzymes to stop losing weight but it literally just stopped this month.  I will get the to the -200 pounds marker, Im sure of it...but im not going to diet so ill just trust my DS and let what happens happen.  I play with 4 pounds every month...up and down.  This has been a normal pattern for me -from the very beginning of my journey.  If I gain 5 pounds, I increase my fat and lower my carbs somewhat (I lower the flour/starch carbs but not sugar). 

I have noticed that I do not graze as I used to.  I eat 2 meals a day and 1 snack.  Im not pooping like I used to either (less now).  So I think not grazing and being somewhat constipated is the cause of my sudden holt. Ive been eating more frequently and it seems to do the trick (gets me going)!

Wows for the month:
1. I got my teaching job - so relieved and happy!! **

2. I fit in a size 2 SKIRT (not pants) from New York and Company.  It was also on sale so I bought it! 

3.  I tried a protein powder and actually liked it! Banana Scream flavor.  I ordered some but havent started making them yet. lol 

4. And ofcourse the Brad Pitt incident. lol

5. OH!!!  And since Im employed that means I get my Medical and Dental Insurance back!!!!  This is a big wow for me!   It will be BC/BS but oh well. lol 

** I report to work Monday but am already meeting up with the Cheerleaders.  This is exciting and yet also sad b/c my lazy summer is over.  lol
