My summertime eating pattern has just kicked in and I hope it lasts long enough so I can lose a few more lbs before I go to Bermuda. I was 255lbs when I was on the scale 3 days ago and now I am 253!!!
After I posted the previous entry I decided it was time to try again while I could use May 21 as the finish line. In Bermuda even in May it is very hot and humid, not a good place to be a heavy person. After I ate like a pig the night before I got up Monday and decided Easter was over, must move on.
Sorry about the cholesterol but I scrambled 2 eggs in the microwave Monday morning and have continued to do so. If you eat protein and no starch you stay fuller longer and you don't get that awful griping feeling in your stomach.
Then I went back to riding my exercise bike (even though I still haven't replaced the adaptor that works the resistance and my work-out data)
After that I sat in my chair and listened to the Hypnosis Guy for 1/2 hour which helped me to "shut the kitchen down after 6 pm". Not eating after 6 helped me lose weight before the winter set in and I began shovelling in the carbs and sweets and gained back 15 lbs.
I don't have any clothes to wear that are decent enough and fit right and so I am wondering if a person that weighs 250lbs is way to heavy for Fashion Bug. It's been so long since I went into a bricks-and-mortar store rather than ordering online where I can't try anything on to see how it fits.
I also want to get a pair of sneakers that look nice and I can walk a long way in and not cripple myself. Last year I cleaned up my old New Balances which I wear for work and got on the plane in them. They are well broken-in but New Balances are not exactly a pretty shoe (if you wear them you know what I mean).
Also some Teva's or other comfortable sandal that won't trip me up walking over uneven sidewalks etc. Last year I had these awful gladiator sandals from Wallyworld that cost me $10 which had an ultra-thin sole and didn't fit right. Let's say I ended up wearing my New Balance "boats" everywhere I went (even when I went to church with Momma.)
Which is another thing. I didn't have anything decent enough to wear in social situations. back in the day when you went to church you dressed up. You didn't wear a baseball-type top with a pair of shorts even though they were a respectable length.
Momma said, don't you have a skirt or something???
No skirt and nice blouse, stockings and nice shoes to wear to church. Oh the scandal!!!

We seem to be on a similar path :o) What I keep telling myself is: Everything starts with one step. If I never take a step, I'll never move forward. If I do take a step then one by one I can climb that mountain. And I never look at how big that mountain may seem or I talk myself out of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you!
congrats, I lost 3 too!
ReplyDeletetry Easy Spirit sneakers. I think they have a plain white leather or cloth.
And, I think Fashion Bug does go up higher. I'm usually not proportioned for their plus size winter stuff (length), but I might try their summer stuff again.
