It's amazing to me to see all the things I would have eaten if I were still out of control. I know I would have eaten a big bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch for Breakfast. I know I would have eaten at least four or five of the Girl Scout Cookies Nic brought home. The chewy caramel ones with chocolate stripes and coconut. Sigh. I would have eaten white chocolate popcorn instead of sending it to school for Afton's class party. I would have eaten Mickey Mouse chicken nuggets with ranch or ketchup, macaroni and cheese and chocolate milk. I would have picked off a couple of chocolate chip cookies at my sister's house.
No wonder I got so fat! I better start feeding my kids differently if I don't want them to suffer the same fate!
I went and looked at my friend's before and after pictures today. She lost 50 lbs in in four months. Such a stud. Gives me strength...yes it does.
So, I would have eaten all of that, but instead I ate:
1/2 a grapefruit, 2 melba toasts, two roma tomatoes, 100 gr. chicken, an apple, 5 shrimp. I still have a veggie and a fruit to eat tonight. Spinach smoothie anyone? Guh.
Weigh in:
Starting weight: 198.6
Today's weight: 184.6
Total loss: 14 lbs even. WOO!
first of all - Angie you are beautiful!

25 sounds like a good number. Just remember to come off of HCG on protocol too. Introduce complex carbs slowly. Good luck!
ReplyDeletei am proud of you! i wish i could say that i always controlled myself in such a yummy situation, but i still have some more self control to acquire at different times unfortunately. i AM proud to say i didn't eat a single one of those oatmeal cookies you so lovingly pawned off on me. :) the kids sure liked em though and i shared them with the scouts!
