Got To Do Apple & Steak

Okay, so being good to make up for the cake and ice cream gorge isn't working, so I have got to do an apple and steak day today. Did I learn a lesson? Yes and no--yes, I do know what it takes to gain weight and no, I don't regret a single bite!!!!! Incorrigible is part of my genetic makeup.

Sugar Ceiling

Okay, I've found my sugar ceiling--cake and 2 bowls of ice cream with all the toppings, including fudge, is what can cause weight gain for me. I had to push the envelope to find out. Needless to say, today I'm going to be very, very good.

Still Balancing

Still doing the balancing act between ice cream, good foods diet and not gaining weight. So far, so good. I find that I can have my ice cream and eat it too! I don't indulge in any other sweets, so don't get me wrong. But, I do have a yen for the cold treat that satisfies so much. Only 10 more days to go before I go onto my next injection phase and I've maintained my LIW. Yeah!!!!!

Continuing On

Well, I've stabilized my weight--I've quit losing too much. I've managed to find my happy medium of how much ice cream I can indulge in without gaining weight. Continuing on is pretty easy. I have two more weeks to go and then I start my injections again to reach my ideal weight. I love the way my body looks right now, but I can't help but wonder how much better this can get. I'm also looking forward to tighter looking skin. It's not loose, but shows a lack of elasticity which I believe I can get back.

Too Easy

Actually following directions makes this whole diet thing way too easy for me--I'm used to suffering and having a hard time. What a change! I am sooooo glad to have done this diet and the results are amazing. Maintenance is now a breeze and I'm having trouble keeping the weight on. That's something I never thought that I would live to say!

Easy Breezy

Now that I've decided to actually follow the rules, boy is maintaining easy breezy!! I lost all of the weight I had gained since LIW and lost 2 more lbs! All, just by following the rules of the game. See, I can still make gaining and losing weight a game. The key is to know and follow the rules. I'm truly enjoying this now and only have 4 more weeks until I restart my injections to lose my final 20 lbs.

Cheating Too Early

I finally re-read the instructions for after LIW and figured out that I've been putting in starches way too soon to maintain my LIW. Now that I know and have done my apple day, I think I'm on the right track towards normalcy. I just hope that I haven't ruined my previous efforts by eating too much starch too soon.

Trying To Get The Hang Of This

I'm really trying to get the hang of this maintenance thing, but it's like gossamer. You might think you have it and then realize that you don't. Today is another apple and steak day for me.

Steak & Apple

Well, yesterday I did the steak and apple routine and I awoke to find that I was at my exact original weight from LIW--so the moral of the story is that it really works!!

Time To Pull In The Reins

Well, it turns out that Vietnamese food followed by that sweet coffee will put on over 3 pounds. So, today will be an apple and steak day. I knew it would be bad but I had to try it!!
