So I started my weight loss endeavor at the end of April, this year. I'd say I've been doing CICO for about 11 weeks now.
Previous attempts have always failed for one reason or another, mostly because I'd let other things get in the way and I'd make excuses for why I shouldn't feel bad about slipping off of the diet. Granted, it was usually a big ticket thing that would get in my way, but I've failed more than I succeeded.
No more. I'm not letting job stress, family drama or anything else get in my way. I know I haven't been doing this long (this time) but I've been sticking with it, and my motivation is finally in a good place. I'm doing this as a LIFESTYLE change, not a DIET. That's the difference. I'm making a permanent change in the way I eat and view food.
As of this morning, I'm down 22 lbs. I put on a shirt from my closet that wouldn't fit before, and fits great now. And tonight I'm going to go out with the hubby and kids and bury myself in some greasy pizza. I know that I shouldn't and won't deprive myself of these small indulgences. If I want pizza, I'm going to have it, dammit, because I know that I'm going to get up in the morning, go for my long walk, eat a healthy breakfast, drink plenty of water, and get right back on track!
What's the point of making this change if I treat myself like I can't stray or make a mistake? It's going to happen, sometimes on accident, sometimes on purpose. Long as I get back on my horse and move forward it's OK! This may not work for everyone, but it works for me and that's what matters.
Good luck to all of you out there still pushing forward!
