Well, I cannot believe that I am starting my final week of 1200 calories, where did the time go! I remember back to the first night and thinking that 3 weeks of 1200 calories will feel like a lifetime but in hind sight it is a moment in time compared to the life long journey I have begun!
One thing that i did not realize would be such and issue over these past two weeks is how much of a daily struggle it would be to avoid those foods that are not on the recommends list. It is a daily mental battle for me. I went into this program saying, "I will stick to this, I will not deviate from 1200 calories" now starting week 3 I have an entirely different approach! I will stick to 1200 calories as "best as I can" while I work through my mental behaviours. I never ever though I would ever say that I had an addiction to food, I ate what I wanted, when I wanted and did not acknowledge how it made me feel or my triggers around food. But over the past week and especially after last night I am able to pick up on my behaviours and know what I need to work on. I truly know now that I have unhealthy behaviours related to food!
Last night on the scale I saw a 1 lb loss, I will admit that I was disappointed, but it is a loss and at this point that is what is most important! I wanted to see more but again I need to remember that there is more to my journey then just the number on the scale. 13 lbs down in two weeks is fantastic and I just need to slow down and remember that I am not in this for a quick change, it's life long!
