It’s now day three of my effort to take off some excess weight and become a bit more healthy. I have to admit that I forgot what the first few days of a new eating program is like. I’m feeling like my body is totally exhausted and that I need some extra sleep. With the Medi-Weightloss program, I’m doing proteins only the first week. The goal is to have my body in ketosis which puts my body into a fat burning mode. At least, that’s how I understand it at this stage of the game. I’ve been drinking a lot of fluids too. So many fluids to where I’m keeping a steady path to the restroom. Right now, I wish I didn’t feel this way because all of me ifs feeling pretty darned good except for parts of me that feel so drained of energy. I suppose I’m seeing the signs of my bad eating habits from the days prior to this new program. I’m love savory type foods which include breads, cakes and other items that in and of themselves, aren’t all that bad for me but in excess, I gain weight. Yes, I’m a compulsive eater. There doesn’t need to be a reason for me to eat, I’ll eat when bored, stressed, sad or bored. I can see by how my body reacts to things that I need to make a change. A change for the positive because I get out of breath easily, My knees ache from arthritis and I just can’t do what I want to do and I’m way to young for a rocking chair. I want to be more active and be able to do some hiking so I can do some fund raising for animal charities. I can’t do that at 5 foot nothing and 253-ish lbs.
I realize that I’ve got quite a road ahead of me as I attempt to lose a lot of weight but as long as I’ve got support from family and friends as well as continue to stay motivated, I’ll reach my goal this time – after so many other programs – learn to keep it off and be the best me I can be.
Blessings.
