Week 35 - No news is good news. I am still holding on at -53 lbs. and I'm damn proud of that accomplishment. Despite everything that we have going on, I have managed to maintain my weight. I even went on a solo roadtrip Memorial Day weekend and managed to lose 1.5 lbs. while I was gone. That is unheard of for me. In order to kick start the weight loss again, we are back in the box meaning we are attempting to only eat vegetables, fruit and lean cuisine type meals. Drinking lots of water is key and that's one thing we haven't wavered on. Dehydration can cause all sorts of problems; it's important to consume at least 64 oz. of water daily. I don't know if my cravings will ever stop. Maybe it's something I will always struggle with. I eat lots and lots of fruit and vegetables and even though I'm not hungry, I normally don't feel satisfied. Sometimes my thoughts are consumed with food and how happy I would feel if I could just have a few bites. It's crazy really. Today I was weak and had 2 slices of pizza...after I ate my lean cuisine. It smelled so good and I did not try very hard to resist. It tasted good, but really wasn't worth it. That's usually the case and I know that going in, but I just need to taste it. Despite my crazy food obsession I still feel like I am making progress. One step at a time.
