"I am not losing weight. I am getting rid of it. I have no intention of finding it again." - Anonymous.
I just saw this quote on the internet and I would love to attribute it to someone, but I have no idea who to attribute it to, since there was no name attached to it. This is all true, because I truly do not have any intention of finding it once I have lost it. I know this is lifestyle change and while it is scary as all get out, I am positive that I can do this.
Last night was my first class and it didn't seem as scary as I thought, though truth be told I was nervous. I am shy by nature, but also I am rather antsy. I am not one to push time, since by the end of the program it will be just under less than two months to my next birthday, but as it sits with me, I am excited that maybe, just maybe, for the first time in years, I can pick out a super cute outfit and spend the night on the town for this one. After all my midnight shot has to be taken, right? Hmmm, let me rephrase that, not maybe....I WILL be buying a super cute outfit for my next birthday.
Our first class consisted mostly of learning about the program and the number one and two rules of our teacher...1) if you cheat, do not share with the class or classmates and 2) if you have to have your supplement in class, drink it or eat (the bar) slowly, don't inhale it. Apparently that drives her nuts, but I can see her point. I am guessing the faster you do it, the less your body will feel like it is eating. After all these supplements that are ready made are no bigger than a juice box and the ones you make yourself are no more than a regular glass of water, so drink slow and eat slow.
I did suffer through my first craving today though, but I am guessing it is because I had the tomato soup for lunch and one of my habits is salty and sweet. I still have yet to buy some gum, so....but I had some mint tea and that seemed to cure my blues after a mini session of trying to figure out if I had anything with zero calories. I almost had some hot chocolate from a health food company, but turns out, it still has 130 calories and I decided NO, that's not my plan and I can only have zero calorie items. 800 calories a day is my plan and I promised dad I would not eat and I will do my best to stick to that promise. I was told the first week will be the hardest, but I know I can do this! I mean heck, I thought it was 120 days, because they said 4 months, but technically the 16 weeks ends on 11/12 and that is 104 days, so see 103 left to go after today.
I've got this. I just need to remember that I've got this. LOL! :D
