Killer Queen Anne

Days 9 and 10

Day 9: What are your co-workers’/friends’/family’s reactions to your weight loss? Positive or negative?

They say I look good! They’re encouraging. The comments are becoming more frequent. I hope to get more at the beginning of the school year after they haven’t seen me of a while and I drop more pounds. I really need to start hitting the gym.

Day 10: Do you feel like you have given anything up over the course of this process? If yes, what is it, and how do you feel about making the sacrifice?

I have given up utter (reckless) food enjoyment, honestly. I would get anything and everything to my liking at restaurants to try new delicacies and local fare. I now stick to new limitations on that: light vs. regular, grilled vs. fried, chicken vs. pork/beef, etc. 

Day 8: Your workout routine.

I haven’t worked out recently :(

I usually do some cardio, stretch, weights, more cardio.

Day 6. I skipped days 6-19?

Day 6: Do you have any disordered eating habits? How do you overcome/cope with them?

I eat healthy now, but looking back, I used to binge often. I didn’t purge or anything like that, but I ate unhealthy amounts of food until I was bursting. I didn’t do anything with those calories, either, so it went straight to fat.

My appetite and amount my stomach could hold just grew and grew. Now that I’m tracking what I eat and I have a limit, I’m eating much less food. I can’t eat as much as I once did without feeling sick

On another note: in my head I thought I had to do day 20 on May 20th, so I just realized that I skipped days 6-19. I’ll just do one per day and skip back to day 23 when I get there. Silly brain.

Day 22: At what weight did you feel the happiest? Why?

I felt happiest when I fit into a smaller size than I expected and it looked great. I could wear anything.

I was unhappy when my slender-ness made my skinny friends bitter toward me because now I was stealing some of their spotlight.

I don’t have those petty high school friends now, so maybe things will be different.

I’ve been sick, so I’ve lost weight and haven’t exercised. Back to the gym tomorrow!

Day 21: What is your favorite outfit? Why is it your favorite? Post a picture of you in it!

This is my favorite business casual dress. It’s navy and I usually belt it with a brown belt. Both are getting way too big for me. :(

My boyfriend and I joke about having #dietproblems and this is one of them. His shirts don’t stay tucked in at work. What a shame.

Days 19 and 20

Day 19: Do you still eat fast food? If yes, what do you eat? If not, why don’t you eat fast food?

Only when I can’t be at home to cook something for myself. Sometimes I get at diet cherry limeade from Sonic. I used to like fast food, but I have definitely lost my appetite for it.

Day 20: If you have been on a weight-loss program, what is your favorite? If not, which one would you be on if you could?

I have been on Weight Watchers for 4 months now. It’s what has worked the best for me. As long as I track my food, I lose weight. I doesn’t really matter what I eat or how many points I go over. It has helped me so much in making better choices.
