Day #2

I made it through the first day! Yay! Out of curiosity I weighed myself and I am down a significant amount of weight. I am sure it is fluid but the scale moving down is always uplifting no matter what! I am not going to reveal how much I lose except of weigh in days. I go to my next meeting on Tuesday and will weigh in again. I am so excited that I still have several days to lose even more. Other than not having a soda I didn't make any major changes yesterday. I made small changes during the day which added up to a lot as far as the scale is concerned. Smaller portions, less sodium, nothing fried, more fiber, and I ate at the table. I think the most significant change I made was to wait 20 minutes after I started eating my meal before I went back for seconds. I started timing myself as soon as I sat down to eat. I have to admit I was surprised at how long those 20 minutes seem to last. It only took me about 4 minutes to eat and I am a slow eater. I was also surprised at how bad I wanted to go get seconds. I had to MAKE myself stay away from the kitchen during those last few minutes. When the 20 minutes was up I didn't want anymore food. Had I not waited those 20 minutes I would have eaten seconds even though I didn't want them. I cannot express how proud of myself that I am for making the changes. Onward and upward to a healthier me!
