A New Light...

After a year and a half of having computer problems it finally got fixed. With just a little bit of time, 2 and a half hours on the phone with dell, it is like brand new. I was finally willing to pay this time because it was getting to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore, so I broke down and called. But! with my surprise, I didn't have to pay. All this time I thought I had to pay to talk to them really wasn't the case, in my case! So anyways, the lesson... just do it!

Eating is going better. I took a step back a little and started somewhat over. I am a little frustrated because I feel like I am not doing what I need to do. But I know I am really ok. I am taking it slow, and focusing on my protein. I think the major problem was not going grocery shopping and thinking that I can go back to my old ways. That was a huge mistake! I was sick for like 2 weeks. So I said, ok... Becky... just do it! I went to the grocery store, and got things I know I can eat. Cheese sticks, cottage cheese, protein shakes, eggs, etc. I even went to the ice cream section. I haven't had ice cream since the liver reduction diet started on June 18th. And we all know, ice cream is my down fall. So I went to the section, and looked through all the labels. And said... what have I done? Was this all really worth it? And then... it hit me... it was! I am down 60 pounds! I have never lost this much weight before. It was worth it. So, starring at the ice cream sections... I looked at a couple more labels and saw..... no sugar added ice cream bars!! I was in heaven! Now, I can't over do it... but I did try one last night. It was hot, and I really wanted it. And it was so good! I found my ice cream! But... my plan is only to have 1 a week and on the weekends! That way, I don't over do it. I have eaten pizza and all kinds of salads. Went to Red Lobster, and this new Tai place. And what I have learned, its all about reading the labels and ingredients. 60 pounds is worth it. When I get to my goal, I know it will all be worth it. I am now fitting into jeans I never thought I would fit into again. I held onto them, for whatever reason, and now they are too big for me! In about 10-20 more pounds I will go out and get some new clothes. Not much, just some stuff to get me to winter.

Coming up on my last week of my first class is so exciting. I can't believe I am this close to finishing my first master's class. I am very proud of myself and the work I am doing. I am learning alot from others and learning more about myself. It really keeps me busy and I have to sacrifice somethings, but its all about planning things out. One more week of this class and then on to the next!
