10 Down to Many to Go

This journey has so many emotions rolled into it. Weeks go by 0.5lbs, 1 pound, +0.5, and etc. Seriously somedays I think the scale is off and I keep telling myself, keep going. Every little step is progress. Keep adjusting diet, move a little more, drink more water and do not give up! How many of you are in the same position? I went to the doctor and it was recorded 10 down!!! Then they suggested I start take medication to suppress my appetite and increase the weight loss. I explained I do not eat much now, and I explained as a nurse I have seen the side effects of the medication. Some people become psychotic and do weird things like pull there eyebrows off, and did sores into their skin. Then when they reach their goal they add it all back on and more. No thank you I will pass. 10 is good, slowly and naturally. It may be slower and harder but when it is gone it is gone.! What do you guys think? What are tips and tricks that have helped you to lose weight and keep it off? I guess I never thought of weight lose including the mind. It starts in the mind and flows into everything else. How do you keep focused when the world pushed food? Hey guys I really could use your help. Leave your tips, ideas, thoughts in the comment section!!

 

The Struggle is Real

Who would have ever thought losing weight would be so hard? I mean I look in the mirror and in a week I expect to see a huge difference. You know I would like it to fall off as fast as I put it on…..but reality is it will take time. This week was a rough week. Everyone wants you to try this new recipe, or baking delicious treats and it is so hard to say no. It seems everything we do revolves around food and when food is your frenemy it is a struggle. How do you stay focused and politely turn down the endless supply of food? Any tips would be appreciated. The good thing is tomorrow is Monday and new week a new chance to keep moving forward.
