22 pounds!

Well, all of you know I have been working so hard to loose weight this last month. Over the weekend I hit 22 pounds that I've lost in the last month. I am so excited! I feel like I am really moving in the right direction and because I'm seeing results so quickly I am not even tempted to cheat, unlike every other diet I've ever done. I have been scared though of going out, or going to things where there will be food because I have just never felt like I have the will power to not eat whats out at parties and stuff. So, I got brave last week... I went to a baby shower and just sat my butt on the couch and didn't move the whole time. I stayed clear of the table with all of the yummy treats on it and didn't sneak even one bite. Then we went out to dinner on Saturday. We went to Azteca and I had, get this... lettuce, chicken and tomatoes... The waiter was laughing at me... "No rice, no beans, no salsa, no sour cream, no shell, no chips..." you get the idea. But I did it... Not even one chip! Then yesterday the boys and I made treats.... ALOT of them. I, again, did not sneak a piece of anything. OK, I did lick my finger a couple of times before I even thought about it... but not one bite of the finished products or anything! I still have quite a ways to go, and 20 pounds lost on me is not quite like 20 pounds lost on most people because I do have such a long way to go, but still, its 22 pounds I am never gaining back!

Thanks to all of my friends who are so supportive. It seems like everyone right now is trying to loose weight and its fun to do it together. I saw Karen today.... She looks AWESOME! So do the rest of you, you know who you are:) Keep it up!

That is so awesome, Annette! You still have to tell the rest of us how you are doing it? Anything special?

Great job!!!

Holy cow, good job. While sitting here at the computer, I have a super big fattening sugar cookie in my hand. I then read you blog, spit out the one bite I took and threw the rest in the trash. I'm inspired. I want to lose 22-pounds in one month too. GOOD JOB. Here's to the rest of the day eating celery to make up for my disturbingly high calorie morning...
