Week One Down
So you know that you are overweight when you have to resort to wearing your husband's clothes. We had planned to go out to eat last night and I forgot to wash something for me to wear. I only have 1 pair of jeans and 1 pair of pants that I can fit into. So I had to borrow my husband's jeans and jacket for that matter. I don't have a jacket that fits me either. I have been wearing a hoodie every day to work and freezing to death because I don't have a jacket that fits. But it's ok because I have been on my diet 1 week today!
I lost 5 lbs. I hope it wasn't just water. The Biggest Loser Club has been a help and I probably would be lost without it. It was a good jump start but long term I don't think I will stay a member.
It helped me kind of plan my meals and food for the week but if I had bought groceries for everything it wanted me to get, I think I would have spent over 200 dollers?? NO WAY! It gave me some recipes for some simple foods. It was very time consuming because you have to plan all your meals and snacks. They recommend stuff for all that but I was having to substitute things because I didn't like a lot of the stuff they listed and it took forever to get a week done. Then everyday you have to enter all the stuff you eat which is also time consuming.
But I did it for the first few days and it helped me get going in kind of knowing what to eat and how much to eat so that was very helpful. I would have been lost without it. I plan on checking it weekly for ideas on food but I don't want to enter everything I eat and all my exercise etc. Takes too long. Now I semi know what I am doing so I can do without that and if I am in question on how many calories or carbs or whatever I can enter it and check it.
I have had to use a LOT of will power let me tell you. I am getting off of Dr. Pepper which has been the hardest. I would rather have Dr. Pepper than food...I know it's bad. I had the worst headache ever for like 4 days. I think it was verging on a migraine. I thought my head was going to explode. It was really bad. I almost left work one day but managed to muddle through.
I joined a book club type website called www.shelfari.com Thank you amberle404 for the recommendation. I am looking forward to getting back into reading again. I have really missed it.
