This has been a different weight loss journey for me. It's very slow going. I'm down about 10 pounds from when I posted in August. I am amazed that I'm not really tempted to go off of this diet. I never crave anything anymore. Actually I don't think about food much other than to figure out what I'm going to have for meals. I'm not perfect. I still occasionally splurge and have something that is full of carbs. For me this has been the easiest diet I've ever tried and I never would have believed that I could go no sugar/no bread/no starchy veggies for this long. Well, not exactly none of those, but very limited amounts. But it has been my goal each day to eat the least amount of those things that I can without depriving myself of something that I truly want to eat.
I've had to break down and buy some new clothes. The only clothes that are still in my "skinny" closet are summer clothes so I won't be wearing those this winter even if I lose a little more weight. I have even given away some clothes that were in that closet. Not because they were too large. I could still wear them, but I've aged since I bought them and just didn't think I'd ever wear them.
My goal is to not ever stop eating this way. Hopefully that will keep the weight off and I won't have to try to lose again. Maybe I'll set one day a week to have those splurges but keep my carbs low the rest of the days.
I'm still lifting hand weights but have stayed at the 12 lb weights since that it actually over the suggested limit for my age range. I haven't been on my treadmill lately either. I know I should, but I've just not been motivated to do it.
