weigh day week 14 & a sweet tooth

Well here are the results !!!!

last weeks weight loss -1 lb

This weeks weight loss -2.5 lbs

for a grand total of -75.5lbs

2.5lbs I really am kinda disappointed with that number. I thought that it would be a little bit bigger but I guess any loss is better then a gain. I have been feeling really bloated the last couple of days which is odd so maybe that has something to do with it. Hopefully next week will be better.

Well I have to say as time goes by I am finding that I am more and more starting to crave sweet things. The first couple of months this was not an issue at all, now I am finding it harder to ignore. I see people eat all kinds of cakes and cookies and and it is getting difficult to resist however I keep telling myself that I am NOT able to eat that stuff. I am trying to treat sugar like it is an illness, that if I eat it I will die or something.. That is the only way I know how to keep myself in check. I know that there are allot of things that are Sugar free out there but I am really trying hard not to indulge myself in them too much.. I am afraid that once I find out that they are good and taste sweet I will not be able to eat just one, and no matter what it is, whether it is sugar free or not if you eat more then you should you will gain back all the weight you lose and that is something I will not let happen. I have, however, indulged myself in one little treat and that is Sugar free ice cream.. Ice cream has always been one of my most favorite things. I am very good about limiting my intake of it though and only allow myself a small portion. 1/2 cup maybe at most and only very occasionally .. It has helped some in getting rid of my cravings and it actually has some protein in it which is good.. (Just trying to justify it a bit...lol)

Speaking of protein I am getting very nervous about what my blood work is gonna say.. It should be making its way to the clinic here soon if not already. I am thinking my protein level are gonna be low and I am gonna get a big lecture, not to mention I think my hair has started falling out some. It seems like it is thinner then it was and I notice that I find more then normal floating around.. but then again because I am so worried about my hair falling out I could be looking a tad too close and what I am seeing is really the norm I just never paid that close attention before. I really hope that is the case, I mean I can afford to lose some but I don't really want to .

Well I guess that is it for now, I am off to my second job.. not really liking it too much but I gotta do what I gotta do. The good thing about it though is that I am really active while there, I do allot of walking and such so that is a good way to get the metabolism flowing .

Hope you all have a great weekend.. Talk to you again on Monday !!

Not earth shatering news, but the sugar-free Fudgsicles, at 45 calories, are fabulous when I have to have chocolate and a sweet fix. They are in my local Stop and Shop, dirt cheap on sale always, and are good.
Keep up the work !

You look positively amazing!! Keep up the great work! I know it's not easy. Are you around in the next coupla weekends if we can swing by for a visit?

By the way, I also give a big "thumbs up" to the sugar free fudgsicles (used to get 'em from the Schwan's guy all the time - they are terrific when you are craving sweets or chocolate, and a single pop is just the right size!)
