Nancy’s Weight loss Journey 5 Yrs & Counting

I made it! I can do the happy dance today.

Day 14
I have a better grasp on grazing and eating overall. The first few days were hard but after a week it became second nature. I had a great 3 day weekend and I was pleasantly surprise I kept within plan and did not graze nor did I gorge myself to death on the delicious Kenyan food made by Rodney’s mom. I had chips and ice cream during the day and in moderation. These days a small handful of chips or a 1/3 cup of ice cream is as filling as a whole bag of chips or a pint of ice cream. I enjoy food, the process of eating. I take my time and engage all my senses. I actually look at what I’m about to put in my mouth, smell it, like the smell of fresh toast is amazing. I chew slower so I it last a little longer. I now have a good relationship with food because it no longer controls me. I control what is eaten, the quality and when I eat. For my homemade lunches at work, I buy higher end, organic food because it’s just for me. I stock up on chicken breasts and have been experimenting with different recipes and it’s been tasty and fun.
I don’t crave junk food the way I used to. That was a biggie, especially with Rodney eating fast food late at night so he can gain weight.

So today, almost 100 days into my return to buddyslim, I exercise daily, eat healthy and high quaity food but I also give myself treats here and there with no guilt. I hope 100 days from now I am on plan and even smaller and healthier then I am today. This time around I can honestly say I enjoyed the process - I love my workout routine, love my exercise, love the food I eat and love me. I can finally say it without feeling weird - I finally love myself.
