Day 7

185.4 lbs! Woooohooooo!

I can't remember the last time I weighed this, but I'm thinking it was around the end of 2007 when I was laid off.....I think.

So wonderful! I was cleaning up yesterday and I found a mailing box full of clothes I had ordered from Target ages ago.....like, a year or more. I had them packed and boxed up to mail back to return, but I squirreled them away for a while thinking I would lose weight and they would fit. Hehe.

Well, having discovered them yesterday, I tried them all on! The pants gave me a huge muffin top, but they actually came up over my but and zipped up this time. The shirts were decent, the ones with the cap sleeves were too snug. I'd give everything about 10 more lbs. before I can comfortably wear them. Isn't that funny? I can actually think in terms of weeks instead of months like other people losing weight do.

I've been getting weird tummy grumblings.....not hunger, just grumbles and sloshings. Kind of weird, but tolerable. Everything is hunky dory. Nothing new to report, no bad things, only good and easy. Haven't really started to miss eating yet, haven't really thought about it much.

  1. Congrats on finding the clothes again and fitting in them!

    My Chocolate fast mix tastes very good btw. I am considering extending my fast two more days through Monday & Tuesdays since I am not feeling any ill effects so far. I have had a cup of tea with honey in the mornings in addition to my "shake" and I only feel mildly hungry and I am not weak at all. I do crave the taste of things like you said though. Yesterday I went to a movie with my mom and a friend. I sat between them and held the bag of popcorn for them and was not tempted at all!

    Thanks!

  3. Day four is drawing to a close and I am only mildly hungry and still not weak at all. Although, I am craving food. Especially cheese for some reason...

    Anyways, I discovered that those little Crystal Light to go packs (in a little tube) that are meant for a water bottle are really good hot! I have tried the tea flavor and the peach tea flavor so far. Yum yum.

    Thank you so much Amanda for getting me started on the fasting path. I think that a monthly 2-4 day fast might become a way of life for me.
