I’m running out of things to call these weight loss journey posts. So I’ll just have to settle for week by week.

I was thinking today about the way I used to eat. Right now I am living on a 18-22 point plan on Weight Watchers.

Of course it varied, but over the weeks it was all pretty much the same. An average week would have at least two of these kind of days in it.

For breakfast four weeks ago I would have had rice bubbles with Jaxon. Maybe two bowls while he munched away at his. That there was 7 points. Not including the heaped sugar I would put on it. Let’s just say ten points even.

For lunch I would eat Macaroni and cheese, again…with Jaxon. He would eat one pack and I would eat two. That’s TWELVE points.

And then for dinner I would have two meat pies. With tomato sauce. Each pie is 8 points.

And then let’s talk about the coke! A can of coke is 2.5 points. And I was drinking four or five cans a DAY! Ten points in coke.

That’s forty-eight points!!! I always thought that I ate reasonably well but my portion size was way off. But now I know, I’ve been wrong all along. I was eating like a teenager!

Now I feel different. Already my bra doesn’t fit me and I’m down to one top that looks reasonably good on me. For the first time in a very long time (though my Mum will dispute that I never liked shopping even as a little girl) I am actually looking forward to the next clothes I buy for myself.

This week I’ve lost 1.4 kilo’s. That’s a total of 4.3 kilo’s in four weeks. I’ve lost 5% body weight. I am so incredibly proud of myself. I find myself looking forward to the future now. Looking forward to what I am becoming. Looking forward to looking my best AND feeling my best.
