Today is my weigh in day, and I am down to 273.4! I was hoping the low would stick around to be official today, and it did! I am just thrilled! I think I'm discovering I'm one of those wait and whoosh type people that have been talked about. It seems 2 weeks out of the month I probably should just not weigh myself and save the mental games. It wasn't like this the first time around....but I didn't have a spinal cord injury hindering my exercise program like I do now. I was also 12 years younger. Hmph. Aging. Whose bright idea was that?
I feel fantastic...I feel sexy...I feel smaller...I feel like going out dancing and walking on the waterfront. The funny thing is I've only lost 18 pounds...and on my big body, it's barely noticeable to others, but I notice it. Just think how much more I'll think of myself in another 20 pounds...I'll be totally stuck up! hahahahaha
I had one of those annoying arguments with a friend last night about how "a diet so restrictive can't possibly be healthy"...restrictive? Because I can't have nachos and a pint of Ben and Jerry's every night? UGH! I said "I have eggs or celery and cream cheese for breakfast, chicken Caesar salad for lunch and Chicken and broccoli with cream sauce for dinner. I eat more vegetables when on Atkins than when off....how is that unhealthy. I've essentially only cut out pasta, bread and sugar...how is that unhealthy? And by the way, I’ve lost 20lbs...wanna compare lipid profiles?"
I hate this argument. *eye roll*
