3 Weeks Down!
When I started this little venture, I had gotten up to a size 14 and it was TIGHT!
I knew that I was NOT going to buy a 16. I was already in an XL
shirt. And elastic waistband was both my friend and my foe. I looked
in my closet and see all my cute "little" clothes that I could no longer
wear. Sadly hanging there is an Adrianna Papel size 10 with the price
tag still dangling.... Buying an XXL or 16 was not an option. So, I
squeeeeeze into the same old boring thing I have and go about my fat
day.... Truthfully, I was so down about what I had allowed myself to
look like, I couldn't even change in front of a mirror for fear that I
might get a glimpse of my body. It had gotten so bad that I would only
change clothes when my husband was not around or hide in the closet. I
was basically disgusted with myself. And what's worse, I know how to
lose weight. I even can tell clients how to lose weight. But I
wouldn't take my own advice.
So, I was at the brink.....lose weight or go to the plus size dept.
Now comes happier times!!
As you know, 3 weeks ago today I started phase two (low calorie) of our
hCG diet. And now 21 days later, I've lost 17.2 pounds! On an average
diet of 1/2 to 2 pounds per week, I would be doing good to have lost 6
pounds in a month! I've lost 3.2 pounds this week.
Which is a little slower than I had been losing, but I'm not
complaining! I'm not hungry and I still have good energy!! As a matter
of fact, yesterday, I was in the dreaded closet and thought.... why
not? So, I slipped on a pair of pants, SIZE 12 and they FIT! I was
elated. So this week, pounds are slower, but I'm definitely shrinking.
I feel lighter and that makes me feel mentally and emotionally
encouraged to continue.
I have said this before, and I'll say it again....
this is the easiest diet I have ever tried!
Several
of you have been following by my posts and I want to tell you thank you
for encouraging me. Some of you have even been motivated to join me!
One client in particular has already lost 15 pounds! She is excited and
getting ready for a cruise! Like I tell her, just stick to it and you
will reap the reward. The rewards are so many; increased self-esteem,
pride, accomplishment, better health over all, able to move easier,
breathe easier and look HOT!
So, this week my friends, I will gladly take the
inch loss and getting into a size 12.
That's progress and that's what this journey is all about.
