Doesn’t everyone dread weigh-in day? NOT ME! Since I’m not
dieting, but rather making a lifestyle change, I’m not concerned with what the
scale says (even though the scale was very kind to me this week). Here are my
new stats – the numbers in parenthesis are from the last measurements, for your comparison.
Weight: 264.4 (271.8)
Waist: 47” (49”)
Chest: 49” (53”)
Seriously!!
I don’t want to toot my own horn either, but I will! This
lifestyle change is proving to be easier than I had ever dared to hope. I have
weaned myself off of sugar (my niece’s birthday cake was TOO SWEET for me to
eat). I easily resisted McDonald’s on Saturday, while my family chowed down (I
didn’t even ask for a French fry). I have not had a soda for 10 days, and don’t
crave it at all. I did my grocery shopping for the week, and am prepared with
lunch, dinner, and breakfast menus until Friday.
Thank you for sharing your journey Erin. Catie is so encouraged by you that she said I had to read what you were up to....I am on your team officially and am excited that you are going to reclaim the true Erin. I remember her you know, meeting her when she was 13 and could dance like the very wind. Cute & smart,caring,sensitive and a giver. Now it's time for her to give to herself and we'll all be there to celebrate her joy.

Tears. Thank you, Maureen!
ReplyDeleteErin, you should be so proud of yourself. For what you are doing for you and your health as well as what you are encouraging others to do! I am on board!! :) xo
ReplyDeleteYou go Erin! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteOne step at a time.... Now, if you can convince your family how bad McDonalds is for them.....may the force be with you. Have you ever watched " supersize me" ? Or "forks over knives " Netflix has some really good documentaries about healthy eating. Have a great day! So happy for you!
