wondering...

I won't spend much time talking about it, but I'm wondering if watching good food can make you gain weight. Paula made a wonderful supper tonight, which Bernie and she enjoyed immensely. It seemed last week when I watched everyone eat at D's birthday supper, it seemed like I had gained weight. Just for fun, I'm gonna check my weight in the morning to see... Speaking of weight, I forgot to report that I weighed in at 231 pounds on Mon, for a total of 63 pounds. I'm having some regrets about setting a bigger goal and will set an interim goal of another 25. In that light, I have 12 more to my next goal. The biggest challenge definitely will be not to look too far ahead and focus on achievements to date. So, yeah me! I met with the trainer this morning and I'm excited about the new stuff we set up. Tomorrow will be my first run-through of the whole thing and I will update. I suspect that the first while will be a challenge, but I know I have already noticed a change in my core, so that's exciting. Clinic tomorrow and I look forward to the next food lessons.

  1. I would guess that watching food would make one lose weight, not gain....you could be burning calories just from salivating! Of course i woudn't know about that.
    And I have to think about your dedication. I'm not sure how you mean it? Until I figure it out I'm just gonna assume it's a compliment.
    Love

  2. I'm so proud of you Elly. I know you will reach the goals you set for yourself, even if they take a bit longer that planned.

  3. How incredibly hard that must be to watch someone else eat a solid meal! That is the thing with being addicted to food, is that everyone else needs it to live. Unlike alochol, drugs, exercise, coffee, internet, video games, etc. For that alone, you are truly strong, dedicated, committed, and kudos on you!

    As per the shorter goals, I so agree. Right now I have two clients that I'm working with, and I have set for them 10 pound goals at no time frame. Once they achieve that, we move on to the next 10. I believe there should be no time frame in losing weight, it should be a lifestyle of eating to live with an exercise regime that can be performed regularly. The feedback has only be postive.

    I'm am so proud of you, not only for your weight loss but for thinking that you are worth it. and for sharing your journey with us. I'm learning something new all the time.
