Oh WOW!!!!!!

This week at weigh in was a total shock. The day before we went to a friends house who made us steaks on the grill with asparagus. Accidently he added too much smoke and the steaks and asparagus were very smokey tasting. Which in turn made my stomach very upset and I had gas too. So driving Monday into my appointment I figured there was no way I had lost anything. If I had it wouldn't show and my gas would make me bloated. I never expect to lose as much as I lose every week. I try very hard to stay off the scales at home.Jennifer my nutritionist keeps telling me that I should only weight in once a week and at the same time.Our bodies change from day to day. Some days we have more water than others and if we constantly look at the scale everyday we would definately stop losing weight. Main reason because we would be disappointed in the amount we gain. Amazing how one pound can rail road you into thinking you are a failure but it is rough starting a diet and even harder to stick too it.
One of the things I still struggle with is stress. Stress brings on my bing eatting and on this diet I have no room for cheating AT ALL! So my cheat which I haven't told my Nutrionist about is my sugar free candy. I am very careful not to eat more than the package says is a serving. Besides if you have ever tried sugar free candy you would know if you eat more than what a serving is like oh say a whole bag you will have the worst case of RUNS and will wish you were dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think I am kidding go ahead have a whole bag of reese sugar free cups and you will have to call in to work for several days. Possibly call a plumber as your sewer backs up. Okay maybe not that bad but seriously it is a bad idea. You have been warned!!!!!!
Okay so I walk in the back to be weighed and like I said I didn't expect good numbers. Jennifer took the large weight and moved it from the 200 lbs to the 150 lbs spot and readjusted the top scale. I just about died. It was like an even bigger weight had been taken off my shoulders. Like all my hard work was finally starting to show. Even though I know it shows because everyone keeps reminding me with heart felt kind words and encouragement. Ya'll really are awesome. It has finally set in just how awesome I am doing on this diet. I am also excited to say in large print too that I am now UNDER 200 LBS!!!!!! I want to shout it from the roof tops. Dance around like an idiot. It makes me smile that I hit my first goal. I have never been able to reach any of the goals I have set for myself until now and I feel like I could take on the world now. Now I am at 198 lbs and I have only 48 lbs to reach my goal weight of 150lbs. At the rate I am losing I will be able to wear a bikini by spring break. I can't wait to visit my mom in April I plan on surprizing her can't disclose all the details but it will be awesome. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
