Restriction, how I love thee.


First of all, I stumbled apon the picture which may have been my "last straw". I remember when I saw this picture of myself... I was wearing a sweater I thought was slimming (I guess cause it was black).. not so much. The picture next to it is my last update photo at 189. I am not weighing a few pounds less but nothing significant.


On to other news, I have actually been able to manage with much smaller portions for the past couple days. It feels incredible. The scale is back on its way down... only a half a pound or so... but hey those add up. I felt so good about my eating I started working out again today... did a good hour of step aerobics and felt amazing.




Unfortunately my husband's step-grandfather died today. It has been expected for some time now, he has been very ill for many years. We will be at the viewing on Thursday and the funeral on Friday. We aren't really that close to that side of the family, but I am sure it will still be stressful and emotional.




I am now counting down the days until my next fill... 9 as of today. I think (if my doctor is willing) I can get back to my sweet spot this fill. I was only there for about a month before I had my complete unfill. I barely got to enjoy it. I just want to get it back.
Take care all!

It's usually a photo that is the catalyst to us getting our act together - I know it was for me also.
Great changes are in front of you - yayy for the small portions and not being so hungry. Get down there scale!!

What a difference. Love looking at before and after (during) pics. I have one of those before pics which still makes me cringe. Hope you get back the sweet spot as it is truly sweet.

Just LOOK at the change in those pics (and the library one as well!). OH HOW I HOPE you have sweet restriction again GF! You'll have to let me know if you get back up to where you were or if it's better with less in...curious minds want to know! So sorry about your step-grandad...((hugs)) for you! (and I hope DH's grandmother is OK).
