Lose 30 pounds

I have increased the goal to losing 30 pounds. A combination of having taken prednisone for my asthma and a major change in my eating habits were too much for my self-control, I guess. When I re-started my diet two weeks ago, I weighed in at 166. I am now at 161. I am determined to get down to my goal weight since this is now affecting my health. My IBS is out of control and my biggest clothes are tight making me very uncomfortable all day.

In the past I was successful because I kept anything I couldn’t eat out of the house. I can’t do that now. So, I have to develop stronger self-control. I have to not eat that freshly baked brownie, or the dove bars in the freezer. I have to say no to the thick sauces and fried foods. sigh

Wish me luck!

I weighed in at 138 pounds for a loss of 4 pounds last week. Most of it was water weight I’m sure. It’s always like that the first week.

In December 2006 I set a goal to lose 20 pounds. In May I very happily marked it off as completed! I was doing really well on maintaining until I went on vacation and then attended a training class. So I’ve put on a few pounds and since I’m going to start the tracking process again I might as well continue the diet as I was planning to do. So now I’m going to try to get down to 130.
