    week one done/weigh in

    Well...got my first week done on extended induction and I lost one pound. The voices in my head are of course talking to me...you know that ones...they say stuff like...ONE POUND??...ONE stinkin' pound???....You might as well give up now....it's going to take you FOREVER to get to goal.....Ya might as well be happy how you are and enjoy some chips along the way....

    BUT...fortunately....there is a new voice in my head. And it is talking too. And even if it is new it has a strong voice that I am able to just barely hear above the other bad voices. This voice is saying things like....WAY TO GO!...3 weeks of eating healthy...Hey, that is like 4 1/4 pounds a week.....WOW!!....You can do this...Feel the new energy...Think about what you are going to be able to do with the kids....You are becoming stronger inside and out.

    You know what? I think I like the new voice I am hearing. And you know what else?? I think...I really do...I think that new voice...is...ME! The real me..the one that I couldn't hear anymore when the bad voices started...after being molested by three different family members...after losing my Dad when I was nine...after never having my step dad accept me as his...after having my Mom choose to stay with one of my molesters. The bad voices got so loud...saying I wasn't good enough...not lovable enough..that I couldn't hear the other voice. I tried to shut them up with food...and more food. But the more food I ate the bigger I got and the louder the bad voices got. But I am hearing it now!!! I won't listen to the bad ones anymore...even when they are yelling at me. Because I am WORTH IT! I WILL BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY!
    And those voices can kiss my ever shrinking butt because I will not let them rule me anymore! I am healing. HEAR MY VOICE ROAR!!!

      Keep listening to the new voice. I got on this morning and after the three pound rush last week I lost but only a few onces. Remember a pound lost is way better than a pound gained.

          You lost one pound which is great! What you didn't mention is did you measure yourself? I think that you will be happy with the results! I think it is wonderful that you are finally finding yourself. I have further to go than you but I am also on that journey to find my real self. So stick to it and realize that for each one of those other voices that are full of negative there are so many positive ones here to encourage you!

              Thanks Soliwit, Squeaker, Isabeau, Joann and Cleo! It is getting feedback and encouragement that helps those voices get smaller and smaller!! So please know that because you took the time to send some postiveness my way that it made a HUGE impact on me!!! Thanks so much!

              Yes, Joann, I took measurements my first day but have not remeasured yet. Am not sure whether I will do that on Thursday...that will be 1 month...or when I do have a week that shows no lose.

              I was away camping and still managed to stick to plan!!!! Even though the potluck had not one dish could eat...I had done up my salad individually and had packed some extra chicken. Thank goodness....we had 30 people eating dinner at this family reunion and no one noticed or commented that my dinner was different!! They didn't even notice.

                    Thanks Soliwit and Cruiser gal! I am pretty impressed with myself over this weekend too. Especially because the last time I tried to lose any weight was 2 years ago (3 summers) on another plan and I was doing good until the camping/reunion weekend...and I couldn't resist the lasagna and perogies...etc...lots and lots of carb stuff. And I indulged...lost my will power and it took until now to find it. It was those carbs even back then I think. Even though I was not low carbing, I had limited them compared to before and it set the cravings off and I plummented for 2 years until now. So to make it through this weekend was HUGE! And I don't need to worry about another big event until Christmas and right now I feel strong so am not worrying about that until I get there!

                      Visualize 4 sticks of butter stuck to your hips and waist - that is how much you lost! Hang in there - you are worth it.

                        EEWWW Sarafina! LOL! I have been visualizing potatoes...lumpy old potatoes. Gave serious thought one time to lugging about 80-90 pounds around with me until I started losing weight and then as I lost weight I would be able to get rid of some of the potatoes....LOL! Okay..okay..I admit it...sometimes late at night I get weird thoughts in my brain...LOL! I think I will visualize the 4 stick of butter melting instead....
