This is the eightieth day in my life without food.
I'm better. I'm back down to where I was Monday morning and officially in fat class the scale said I was down another 2 lbs. which just puts me a smidge under 50 lbs lost. OK, so I know it's only been 11 weeks and I've lost almost 50 lbs but it's not getting any easier and I am not the most patient person in the world but I also know I have to take this day by day.
Yesterday was not a good day. I'm allowed to have melt down days too it's just a little harder when times are tough and I don't have food to turn to. My favorite foods have always been my stand by friend and now they are not. Food has abandoned me or have I abandoned food.
In fat class now they are teaching us how to calculate calories by sight using what they call anchor points. Food labels are always helpful when you have them and they are correct but what do you do when eating in a restaurant? Shopping at the farmers market? Dinner party? Did you know an ounce of pizza is only 100 calories? Who the hell only eats an ounce of pizza? Ah, I learn the darnedest things in fat class.
Working week 12 now, I'll do the best I can do considering it's a holiday weekend and we are traveling. I guess the scale will tell.
I say congratulations are in order! It's taken me a year to lose 60 pounds! Fifty pounds in 11 weeks sounds good to me!
