14.6 pounds lost in week 1!!!!

Okay I wasn't going to tell you all how much I had really gained because like I said I was completely embarrassed and it was easier not admitting it to the world and to myself.  I have finally realized that sugar is not good for me (ya think I would have realized this a decade ago since I gain weight every time I eat sugary starchy carbs by anyway), I decided to have a giant piece of cheesecake the day before I started the diet and guess what, I gained 6 pounds.  Yup 6 pounds.  Seriously that stuff is the devil and it has clicked that I can only have it in moderation about once a year. 

Gaining that weight was seriously the most disgusting thing ever.  I felt gross, I was cross with Kyle, I didn't feel like dressing up or doing my hair.  I literally felt like sitting around all day and doing nothing but feeling mad and sorry for myself.  In my defense I didn't really gain 14.6 pounds all at once, I just kept slowly gaining and I kept trying to push the limits.  A little more food here and there, add on 6 pounds in one night and bam there ya have it!  I was pretty much 183 for the longest time and then it was down hill from there and why I started the diet early again.

So what am I going to do to keep it off the in the future?  The Paleo Diet.  I have updated my suggest reading on the side of the blog and I am loving every single one of them.  I haven't read 2 of them but they are on my list and there are only so many hours in the day to finish them all.  If only I was a speed reader!  There is some fantastic information in there and I can't wait to feel even better than I do now! 

Everyday is a learning experience for me and thank God my brain is a sponge at this point or I know I would be back to the same old habits.  Right now I am not exactly doing Paleo because this diet is hard enough and I am still losing great even though I am eating 2oz of potato or a slice of Ezekiel Bread.  I really need to eliminate all grains and starchy stuff like potatoes so I am will do that once this diet is over.  Right now I will do what works because I feel good and it is working.  Changing your way of life takes work and it takes time.  I am almost there and by the end of the summer I will be full on Paleo! 

I am finally back down below my last injection weight of 180.6 and down to 180.2.  I will be in the 70's before I know it and I am only 15 pounds away from what I weighed in that sexy black dress on the right!  I can only imagine how good I will look and feel at 140!! 

I will now update my daily weights on my daily weight loss page as well as update my ticker.  My will power is here to stay and I am beyond excited to achieve success!!!
