Hello all! Time for my weekly check-in to update you on my weight loss progress. In the past week I've stopped eating after dinner and switched from regular soda to diet soda and water. Also I've severely limited my sweets intake and begun walking. The result? I'm happy to say I've lost 4 pounds! Yay!
I think the most helpful thing I have going right now regarding my weight loss is the book "This Year I Will..." It talks a lot about setting goals, making small changes, and transforming bad habits into good ones. One thing I've noticed is that between 900pm and 930pm I have a strong desire to eat something. Notice I said "to eat" not that I was hungry. Every time this happens I just ask myself, "Is eating the (blank) worth it?" Then I have a glass of water. Things are going well so far. Here's to keeping it up! (The weight loss I mean.)
Weight as of October 20, 2010: 233.5 pounds. Net loss: 4 pounds.
Another thing that really works is brushing your teeth. That's actually one of things that helped me quit smoking five years ago. Once you brush your teeth, why stink up your breath?
