Clothes & Cakes

I've been losing SLOWLY...I know, I know, I need to up my exercise, DEFINITELY. I also need to watch my carbs and protein.

 

Since I have been eating "regular" foods it seems I have had this revelation that I can just eat ANYTHING :confused:...not the case.

 

I had a bbq at my house on Mother's Day and since my birthday was the next day, they bought me a cake:sad0:

 

My kryptonite...sheet cake. So I ate a very small square probably about an inch and it was oh so delectable....and addictive...They left the cake with me so for 4 days I was cutting just small slivers and devouring them every time I passed the dining room table. Why didnt I throw it away after the festivities? Because I think this sleeve is going to save me from myself...obviously it's not. (not to the degree I need to be saved that is).

 

So Im 9 weeks out, this past Saturday was my 2 month mark and I had reached 210 lbs. A total of 33 lbs in 2 months. I want to beat myself in the head because I wanted to shoot for 20 each of the first two months but I didnt make it. I know I could have done better; and I know that I will.

 

The bright side of it all is that my clothes are FALLING off of my arse! LITERALLY. I was dropping my daughter off at daycare and I leaned in to grab something off of the passenger seat and my pants were nearly on the ground. Luckily I did have on a babydoll top so nobody got a "full moon" but boy did I feel the breeze. My work clothes are WAY too big. :rolleyes:

 

Im wearing a size 18 today and they fit, probably how they are "supposed" to fit. I was wearing 20 and 22 pants before most days uncomfortably.

 

Im actually shooting for 205 before the end of this third month. I'm certain if I nip this behavior, I'll get there.

 

By the way, here is a photo of me from this weekend. (Size XL dress!) Great party!

What wonderful news and you look great! I can sometimes kick myself for not throwing things out too and then eating way too much of it, but the great thing about this tool is it's still there for us:-) Good luck with the rest of month three.

You look so fabulous! ! ! I've been fighting the "sweet monster" lately as for some reason I have found that sweet stuff goes down pretty stinkin' easy. So, I have to seriously keep myself in check. The sleeve helps, but my brain sometimes wins.

Keep up the great work ! ! !
