Still here!

We finally have internet again! I am still doing well, although I still haven't made it back to the gym :( Between moving and my new work schedule, things have been a little crazy, but I really, really, really plan on going back next week, possibly even today! I did, however, break through my plateau and lost 3 more pounds this week! I am pretty happy with that and know that adding 3 days of cardio next week is really going to help! I go back to the doctor on Monday for a check-up, I'll let everyone know how it goes!

Probably my biggest challenge I am still facing is eating too fast. It is SUCH a habit for me to eat fast, I don't even realize I am doing it until I feel sick. We have started having more sit-down dinners as a family, and that definetely helps me to slow down. Because my hunger is either non-existent or so very minimal, I tend to think sitting down to eat is a waste of time because it's not like I am eating a 3 course meal! But I am realizing that I need to sit down with my 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and peaches and spend the same amount of time eating as I would a salad, steak, and baked potato 2 months ago! So, anyway, this new lifestyle is still definetely a work in progress, but I am remaining optimistic and know for sure this is the best thing I could have ever done for myself!

Wow. I can't imagine the struggle with eating too fast. It's hard to eat slow even when you're eating a lot, so I'm sure when you're eating next to nothing...It seems crazy to eat a 1/2 cup of something so slow. Anyway, I know adjusting to all of it must be difficult. Your positive attitude is amazing. You should be so proud of yourself!
