Now, I know they say not to focus on the numbers but while I am working on my behaviors I am going to celebrate this milestone with a nice cold glass of chocolate Optifast :) The reason I am celebrating is because it has probably been 10 years or more since the last time I lost 31 lbs, on any diet I would start and lose maybe 20lbs and then quit or go back to behaviors in which I am finally working on now. Today was the start of week 4 into my 12 weeks of liquid and I am feeling great I went to one of my favorite retail clothing stores on new years eve to buy a new outfit and I am down a top and pant size already.
I knew that once I made it through the holidays things would be much easier and that's because me and my body are getting used to being in Ketosis.
How I am feeling now:
- I am not nearly as tired as I was when I first started liquid
- I am not hungry, unless it has passed the 4 hour mark and I know its time for a shake
- I am able to actually recognize true hunger pain now vs just thinking I am hungry
- My skin although a little dry is clearer and healthier
- My finger nails are growing like crazy and are not brittle
- I have recognized 3 behaviors around food in which I am working on changing
- I am still at this point wanting to eat certain foods but I am currently trying to break that addiction
- I am starting to be honest about my addiction with food!
