5 kilos down!

I skipped last week´s weigh in as it was a really bad week (four days of unrestrained eating), however today was a good result with a loss of 1.4 kilos (in the last two weeks). 110 kilos YAY!! and 242 pounds. I am making progress, no matter how slowly and am SO SO looking forward to seeing 109 next time.

So far I have lost 5 kilos or 11 pounds - breastfeeding combined with trying to restrict my eating in a gentle way. I have to say "no" to myself 90% of the time and that seems to be working.

Stress did cause me to overeat two weeks ago. I have to learn how to take the stress and turn it on it´s head so I don´t run to the fridge all the time or make bad choices in the supermarket.

I am still doing the diet shakes- replacing one to two meals a day (and skipping some days altogether) and the rest of the time TRYING really hard to make good food choices in spite of other things in my life I can´t control.

I might take a progress photo next week and see if I can tell any difference so far! I think my face is thinner in any case :)

Stumbling on Snacks

Due to an unplanned (of course) carb blowout at a friend´s house on Tuesday, I ended up with a slightly disappointing loss of 600 grams this week. My friend had bought these delicious broken pretzel pieces with different flavours... I shudder to think how many I ate. Truly awful.

"I can resist anything except temptation"

Still, I know that it´s baby steps all the way. I can see 11o in sight now and will see if I can get there for next week´s weigh-in anyway.

The shakes are still working well for me, as well as cutting right back on biscuits and any type of junk food. In fact, its time for me to have a shake right now...breakfast calls.
