Monday weigh-in

So I am happy to announce that I have not gained any weight. I am not sure how I am accomplishing this because I have made terrible food choices this past week, but let me tell you the things that I am doing. I am staying away from fast food. I no longer have a craving for this type of food. I would rather have a nice fresh juicy steak instead of a fried greasy hamburger. I also am still having a problem eating all of my calories. I notice I am the most hungry at dinner time. I am not sure why my body continues to act this way, but I am not complaining because I am not gaining. I just hope this doesn't creep up on me later on. Here are the stats for this week

Weight: 211.6
Loss/Gain: 0

Just another manic monday....

Here we are at week 2 of phase three and it has been an interesting week. I am having a really hard time adding in more food. I don't eat all of the calories that I am supposed to because I am full and food is the last thing on my mind. You would think that this would be fine, but I was told that the people that follow the plan and eat all of the calories that they are supposed to are the ones that loose. I have weighed myself throughout this week and I have gone down, and I am now up 1 lb today, which is not a huge deal for me. I am in my two lb range. You would never think that this is a complaint, but I really do want to eat more. Two positive things occurred this last week. I went to the Dr. and she actually said she was proud of me and congratulated me on my progress. She said if I continue to loose, I will not have to take my medication for my PCOS, and weight loss is what makes this condition go away. On Sunday my mom said she wanted to talk to me and for some reason this scared me. It was like oh no, what am I in trouble for now. Isn't it silly that even as an adult if you hear this from your parents you still get scared. Anyway it wasn't nearly as bad as I had dreamt it to be. She had a new shirt for me that she had just bought from the mall and she wanted me to wear it for my work x-mas party. I tried it on and it fit perfectly. As I was trying the shirt on, my mom noticed my naked body and said you really are loosing weight aren't you. That was the best compliment ever. I will continue to try and eat this week and see if it gets any better. Here are the stats for this week:

Weight: 211.6
Loss/Gain: + 1 lbs.

I decided to start this eating plan today. With Thanksgiving last week it was hard to follow. Even though I wasn't following any type of plan last week, my body still wouldn't let me eat a lot. This is an amazing change for me. Food really isn't that appealing to me anymore, and I crave all natural food. The idea of anything fast food doesn't appeal to me at all (thank goodness). Also with Phase 3 I will only be blogging and weighing in on Monday morning. This will be a nice change, although I have become addicted to weighing myself every morning. Here are the stats for today:

Weight: 210.6
