Now the downside, I don't think I've lost much weight. I do think my face looks thinner and my upper waist looks thinner, it does seem like my stomach has gone down a bit too, but it's not enough to significantly change the way my clothes fit me so I'm feeling discouraged ever so slightly. I went shopping the other day and still had to shop in the plus sized area. At a size 14, I'm right on the borderline.
Still, 7 weeks isn't all that much right? at 1/2 lb a week that'd only be 3.5 lbs so maybe I am right on target. The question is should I weigh myself? I have been avoiding the scale completely because it has the power to completely devastate me. If I haven't lost anything, I know I'll be completely crushed. I'm afraid I'll throw out all my hard work which is benefiting me way beyond weight lost. On the other hand, if I haven't lost any weight, should I be aware of it so I can try to make some changes?
I haven't started exercising yet but plan to get into a routine this summer. I think I eat pretty well. Sometimes there's a lot on my plate, sometimes not so much. I feel like it's pretty balanced w/ light and heavy foods. I usually don't go completely nuts on the weekends--just a lil. Oh yeah, and I want to lose 50 lbs--my goal is 2 years for this.
so what to do????
Thanks for letting me ramble and would love any advice/ideas.
Linda
