Wow....Things have been crazy around here. I have been working 55 hour weeks. No time for anything. I work in a food processing plant so we work till we are done. How ironic is that? I am on a diet but I work with food. Thank goodness I have to look at all the stuff all day or I probably would be tempted. My Husband and I have been doing really well on phases one of the south beach. We've been on it now for almost a month. I know you are only supposed to stay on for 2 weeks but we have had such a great outcome with phase 1 that we thought we'd stay on for another month after the initial 2 weeks. I've lost 16 pounds so far and I am not sure what my husband has lost cause unfortunately he is a very big man and we can not find a household scale that will register his weight. However he did have to tighten his belt two knotches so I'd say about 20-25 pounds which is amazing. The only thing is I am getting sick of the same foods every day but I do try and switch it up.
Yesterday was the first time I went out to eat since being on this diet. I didn't cheat and was amazed at the will power that I had not to ask one of my friends for those fries she wasn't eating. I had a tossed salad and broasted chicken. I thought broasted meant a cross between broiled and roasted. when it came out it looked like it was fried. OMG! So I just took the skin off and ate the chicken. Good thing I don't like chicken skin anyway. Gave it to my other friend and let her feel guilty about it. LOL
Things at home are great. It seems my husband and I have a greater bond now that we have been successful in the diet. And I don't wanna sound forward but are having mor sex now than when we first stated having sex. You know what I mean? When you can't keep your hands off of each other and you can think about is getting so you can be with each other? Well sometimes I feel like a teenager again with all the "fun" we are having.
My daughter is on a mini diet also. She is 8 years old and weighs almost 150 pounds. I have had her to every doctor and nutritionist in my area. I've even taken her to an Endocrinologist to check and see if she has a thyroid problem. She's just a big girl girl who inherited he mothers fat jeans. However I don't neccesarily believe that getting fat is hereditary but thats just me. So she eats better foods that I can give her. The problem is she is so picky and how do you tell an 8 year old she can't have any of those cookies we bought when she is so used to having them. My life is a rollercoaster of weight. AHHHHHHH!!!!!
Well, thats whats been going on around here. keep me in mind. Good luck everyone.
