I started changing my eating habits (permanently) December 28th. Since then, I’ve managed to lose 14 pounds, arriving at my new weight (as of this morning) of:
233 pounds! Yes! It looks like I have settled in and will be losing .5 to 1 pound per week.
3 things that I’ve learned so far?
It’s much more interesting to go to a social function and focus on the PEOPLE who are there, as opposed to the FOODS that are there.
If you want to lose weight, you must stay hydrated. Water, water, water!
It takes less than 30 days for your stomach (the inside) to “shrink”. In less than 30 days, the sheer VOLUME of food I’m able to eat has been reduced. I used to eat a foot-long sub sandwich and still be hungry. Now, I eat regular 2 piece of bread sandwich, and I’m satisfied. I rock!
Thanks for that stomach fact – I’m aware that I should reduce my portion sizes and that’s just the type of information I need to make sure I don’t quit in defeat too early.
Great blog, Keep it up.
