skinny jeans here I come.

I got my new scale via UPS a few days ago. Of course I instantly gain five pounds because my old scale was so kind to me but it is good to live in reality. While I haven't lost any pounds, at all, which is disappointing, I have lost inches and I can see my body changing! I am able to fit into cloths that had gotten much to snug! I am excited because I get to wear a cute dress on Friday for a wedding I'm going to and with out these inches lost it wouldn't have fit. So yeah for me!

I do however, want to loose pounds so I have reduced my eating back down to where it was when I had that hard week a few weeks ago. Today was the first day and I feel great. I drank 1 1/2 cups of coffee this morning and I think it make quite a difference because I wasn't crabby, hungry, or tired all day and I was able to bust my buns in Zumba 2 hours ago. Coffee may be key.

I also think that my body and mind have finally adjusted to the new diet and routine, I no longer feel deprived. I'm no longer experiencing the intense sugar cravings, and I am no longer singing when I pass the Oreos in the store. I feel more in control and that is a good feeling. Have any of you ever watched the Seinfeld episode where George eats the partially eaten eclair out of the trash? He sees the eclair, pulls it out of the trash and takes a bite, getting caught of course! Here is a link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGHTcF4thLw you will have to copy and paste it, I can't make it work. Any who, it doesn't show what drove George to take a bit. What did drive him to take a bite? I think it was that out of control gotta have sugar feeling where I have been many times. No, I have never eaten out of the trash but I have been in a place in the past were I was desperately driven to satisfy a craving. I am so grateful I have moved past that place. I have been on the diet for a month and am finally feeling better and it is a huge relief.
