End of week 4

I sort of fell behind on my blog. A lot has been going on for the last 2 weeks. Let's see, at the end of week 3, I lost 1 more pound. So that brings my total to 9 pounds lost in 3 weeks. My weight was 221.
I will not weigh in tomorrow- I will wait until next week- week 5. I still have not finished a bag of the product, and although I am supposed to be cutting back every week, I feel like since I have so much to lose, I should continue on the higher dose. I still have 3 more bags and I can order more if needed.
Danny and I are back together although we are not picking up where we left off. We are starting things new- dating, and working on the areas of our relationship that we need to. We are not engaged and we are not living together.We have a renewed love for one another and he has changed things that were bothering me before without me even telling him what those things were! That HAS to be a God thing! We are so much happier with him living in his own apartment and me living at my place. My family is so against our relationship, and that makes it hard on me but I have learned to put up boundaries. I am 50 years old, not 15.

Week 3

I took the weekend off from the formula and will start back tomorrow. I will get my last gel injection on Wednesday, and I am very happy today! I am not going to explain why because I just want to keep it for myself for now. I am learning more and more everyday what it means to truly BEHAVE and THINK like a Christian. God has blessed me in SO many ways. I feel very excited about my future, knowing it is in God's hands and He will make the crooked paths straight for me! I am committed to lose at least five pounds this next week. That is my goal anyhow!

End of week 2

Well, I didn't accomplish as much this week as I could have. I found myself going back to emotional eating to an extent. Although I ate healthy things like fruits and vegetables, my body didn't have time to burn those calories. I feel lonely at night with Danny gone, and I feel like a heel by hurting him. I just need to move on though.  Without caving in to eating at night. Also, it doesn't help when I stay up until 3 or 4 AM! My goal for week 3 is to not eat at night, and get used to going to sleep by midnight.
I did manage to lose another pound and I am trying to look at the bigger picture. I have lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks time- not bad!

Weight today (7/29/11) is 222 lbs

Day 8

After 1 week on the program, I have lost 7 pounds! I am really happy with this system and it really seems to be working for me. I have never had success like this without being sick. I feel good and look forward to more success as the next few months pass. If I continue at this rate, I will have lost most, if not all of my excess weight after 5 months. I am very satisfied with the program but I do realize that it is not automatic and I have to be conscious of what I eat all of the time. I would like to add some exercise next week and will do what I can with my limited mobility.


Weight: 223

Day 7

Today, I started with 2 scoops of the formula instead of one, although I couldn't get it all in. I was too full. I spent the afternoon with Michael, took a bath (a cool one), and now I am winding down from the day. I ate very small amounts and will weigh in tomorrow or the next day. This week has been an extremely emotional one because I broke my engagement to Danny off on Tuesday. He moved out yesterday. Last night I caved in a little bit to emotional eating by eating some chips, but I am back on track today.
It is really hard to hurt someone you love when you realize something is not right. But, it had to happen and better sooner than later. I have felt the pull of the Holy Spirit that we were being deceived by living together even though we said vows to one another and considered ourselves married in the eyes of God.I desperately need to find out who LORI is, without a man in my life right now. I need counseling. I want to still be Danny's friend but he is still very hurt and hostile towards me. I need to finish college, get a job, and learn what I can do independently for the first time in my life. Last night was the first night I have ever spent alone with no one else in the house and I was lonely but I am sure I will be just fine. Sooner or later...:-(

Day 6

I didn't weigh in today but I FEEL lighter. I didn't eat much, so I know the program is working!

Day 4

Same weight. I didn't eat much. I used the same measures of the formula as yesterday. I had a lot of emotional upset today. I broke off my engagement to Danny. More about that on another day. I am just exhausted.
