This weekend was...difficult, but not in the ways you might think!
First of all, I'm off the product Xyngular. It was a nice thought, but it just will not work for me. I did fine the first couple of days, but was increasing unhappy. Although I spent the money on this product thinking it would be a miracle for me, I began to understand what I was warned about. I was basically starving myself, and I was not learning how to change my life. Good thing there is a 100% money back guarantee. I'll be taking advantage of their return policy.
On Saturday, with the help of my dear friend, I began what is truly a new direction in my weight loss journey, which is learning how to EAT, rather than DIET.
Shocking, isn't it?
Rather than rely on some sort of miracle, I should be changing the way I think about food, and how I eat it!
I sit here now, eating an apple, having had an entirely satisfying 170 calorie breakfast of delicious oatmeal... happy. I feel good, and know I can make this change in my life. I am now 5 days soda free, 5 days fast food free, and 5 days closer to my ultimate goal.
If you are keeping track, I am 3 lbs down in 5 days. I'm now at 268.4. I'm kicking ass.
Erin, that is AWESOME. Learning how to change a lifestyle is a lot harder than learning how to diet....but it's the only way you will make lasting changes. I'm trying to do the same thing. Stay strong, sista!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had LaCroix water? It is flavored fizzy water (lime, coconut, grapefruit, etc) but it has no sweeteners or artificial sweeteners. It's the fruit flavor without the sweet. It is my go-to when I am craving a soda. Also, it's inexpensive.
LaCroix coconut is great!
ReplyDeleteI bought some LaCroix orange. Not so good. I will try the coconut, for sure!
ReplyDeleteGood job Erin! 3 lbs in 5 days?! Awesome!
