I was supposed to post these stats this past Sunday, but here they are now. My stats for week 22. Lost 3 pounds, but because I’m working out too, I knew I wouldn’t lose very much in the beginning since I can feel myself gaining some muscle. On top of the three pounds, I’ve also lost a total of 3 inches in one week off of my whole body, which I am so proud of. Anyway, my goal for this next Sunday is to get to 197. It’s been a tough week.

I realized recently how addicted I was to food. Greasy, fried, and carb-overloaded food! I stayed away from all of it this week. In fact last night, we went to eat at O’Charley’s for my dad’s birthday, and I ordered a ground white turkey burger with no buns and no fries either. I also had a chef’s salad with low cal honey mustard dressing. I have to say, it was really hard watching my dad eat his burger, buns and all. And it was excruciating watching my mother eat crispy fried onion straws. I wanted them SOOOOOO bad, but I kept telling myself that I can’t slip and reminded myself on how I will feel in the end once I reach my goal. At the end of teh night, I really felt proud of myself for not giving in, even though the temptation was overwhelming.

My BIGGEST fear in all of this is that once I reach my goal, that I will gain it all back in no time. I’m wondering if that is a fear that others go through and what do they do about it? You know? So, anyway, here are my stats from week 22 (last Sunday), and I will try and remember to update my week 23 stats this Sunday.
