Day 156: Finally a new pic!

                      Well I finally got a more recent pic on here.. oh what little 40 lbs looks like, but how hard it is to accomplish! YES- its true-I have really lost 40lbs, its kinda hard to see in the pics, maybe the baggy clothes?

                  FINALLY! People are finally starting to comment on my weightloss! Up until like a week ago, no one at all had mentioned or noticed my weightloss! Which is fine, because now I get asked : How are you doing it? How long have you been on it? How much are you trying to loose? Do you excercise? So on and so on …..which is OK but some people ask at worst times in front of people  that makes it embarrassing. I am still fat you know and people that didn’t know me before must think, DAMN how fat was she if she looks like this ?? But thats all small stuff, I can’t wait to meet my goal! In about 6 months or so I should be there so long as all goes as planned and it has been. I should a been more like at 50 pound loss by now but I slipped up somewhere along the way- but hey I’ll take 40 lbs any day over zero!

 Well fellow bloggers, keep up the good work! Stick to it and rememebr that one day at a time it will happen! The weight will come off.

What feels better?……..                  Eating that Cheeseburger & Fries feeling embarrassed of yourself in the restaurant feeling like everybody is staring at you or strutting your stuff on the beach this summer feeling sexy and confident??                  Thought so.

MONTH 5: WEIGH IN - 40 pounds total loss!!

Thats right! I am at 196! I am finally under 200 lbs! I feel so great , I am not at goal but feel much better than I was when I started and theres no turning back! For the first time in 4-ever I am not quite ashamed of myself and the way I look.

It has been a battle and it is slow and very hard- but well worth it! I have to stick to it daily but I have to remind myself constantly its NOT A DIET, its the new way of eating healthy. The obese inside of me still wants to eat some junk and pig out at times, but I remind myself of howmuch better I feel if I don’t, not only do I fell healthier but I also feel more attractive!

 I still slip up once and again, mostly the same issue as in the past of just eating larger portions than I should but I get right back on track and have been doing pretty good with portions. It has gotten easier to eat less. Even when I am hungry, I have a rule: If my stomach is not actually growling then I can wait and I know its just all in my head! I know I am truly hungry when it growls and that rule has helped me eat less throughout my day!!!

Will try to post daily again and will add new pics!
