Spring Dresses

I went shopping yesterday and bought the cutest spring dresses! My favorite part was --- They are a size 14/16 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, skirts and shirts are still an 18, but I think I'm getting closer to the new size of 14 !! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!

Oh ! and I've cleared out MORE clothing from my closet ! It's so weird to say goodbye to some of my "safe" clothing! I can't wait for mother's day to show off my beautiful new spring dress !

Another new thing that happened. I wanted to treat myself to a yummy lunch yesterday. I got myself my favorite cluck-U chicken wings. I decided to only have 4 and a nice big garden salad. I was so nervous that I would eat like a crazy head because I haven't had wings since December. After my first one, I was shocked at how unpleasant it was. All I tasted was the oil it was fried in. After the second, then third one, I just hated putting this greasy chicken into my body. I decided, if I felt like that after my 4th one, I would know for sure I wasn't crazy. And so, it was hard to finish my 4th one. I have actually lost my craving for what used to be a dish that in the past, I could have EASILY eaten 12 wings!! I've never had any "control" with wings. Now, it's not the least bit appetizing. Talk about changes!

Another good week !

Lost another 4 pounds this week!!

Well, I'm at 46 lbs total. Almost half way there. I feel really amazing. I'm totally proud of myself. I've changed in so many ways. Everyday I think about WHEN I'm going to exercise, not IF I'm going to exercise. Every time I'm feeling hungry, I ask myself OUTLOUD "WHY am I hungry? Am I really hungry?" I check the time to see if it's almost my next meal or snack time and if not, I realize I'm probably just bored or distracted. I focus on something else until my meal or snack time. I also fill myself up with water. whenever I'm offered something really fattening at work, I think about the pictures I've posted on this blog and I easily say, "No thanks!". I also see greasy fattening foods as unappetizing !! Completely opposite of the old me. The best thing is that I still eat what I want, just less of it. I'm much more balanced. I have to say, that hearing my kids talk about being healthy by exercise and eating right makes me very happy. They both "run" around the house saying, "I want to be healthy! I want to be healthy!".
Well, another week of healthy living... slow and steady, slow and steady... Every meal is a new chance to make the right decisions...

Week 14!

2.6 lbs loss this week.

What can I say..... I'm on fire !

My darling sis Ali bought me the most beautiful clothes from Lord & Taylor! Size 18 & looks awesome! Can't wait to wear it at next get together !!

Woo Hoo !!!
