Day 13

Okay the new weight showed up again this morning.  I am now down a total of 8 lbs!  Woot!  I am starting to be able to tell a difference in the way my clothes are fitting.  Some of them were getting too small, and I was going to have to go up another size if I didn't loose weight.  I am so glad I made the decision to change my eating habits.

Today I forgot to take my lunch to work with me so I ended up eating my larger meal for lunch.  I had a hamburger steak with mushrooms and a salad from Chilli's.  That is not really on the menu, so I order a Mushroom Swiss Burger, hold the bun and the cheese.  I substitute a side salad for the fries. 

We had left overs for dinner.   Chili and cornbread (no I didn't eat the cornbread). :) 

I have not been hungry today at all.  I feel very satisfied with the amount I am eating, but would sometimes like to have things like a frappuccino  from Starbucks.  I sort of miss things like that, although not enough to actually drink one.  I could of course if I wanted to, but I don't want to slow my weight loss down.  It just doesn't seem worth it at this point.

Looking back at yesterday, I am very pleased with the out come. I know I am an emotional eater, and yesterday was a very emotional day.  I got through it with flying colors.

Thanks for reading and hanging in there with me!

  1. Hey sister-in-law! :) When I was loosing weight I use to have a frapuccino for lunch everyonce in awhile. Not the best thing to do but after you get use to eating less a frapuccino can fill you up.

  2. If the Starbucks in my mall were better this might tempt me. I used to drink them for lunch when I was working anyway. They did give me energy. A frappe and 3 advil was my "work meal", lol!
