A month into my new lifestyle

Ok, so all my freaking out about not losing enough,

I had my appt, and while waiting in the waiting room i thought, omg i have to pee, i better do that before i get weighed in, i don't want my full bladder to effect my weight loss, so off i go frantically searching for the washroom because i want to go pee and get back before they call me in, i find the washroom, do what i need to do, wash my hands and was ready to leave with my wet hands because i didn't have 5 Minutes to dry my hands under a dryer, but they had this new age hand dryer which drys your hands in like two second, modern day technology is fascinating, anyways, i get back to the waiting area and the nurse or assistant or whoever she is picks up a clipboard and calls my name, so in i go, she told me when i was ready to step up on the scale, so off came my flip flops, off came sweater, even took my sunglasses off my head, as i stepped on the scale i was very tense at first but it quickly came to me that i may appear heavier if i tense up, so i quickly relaxed my body, when the scale beeped, i was afraid to look, expecting to only see 273 or 271 at the very least, but to my surprise, 267, i was ecstatic...This was June 2nd and when i 1st weighed in on May5th i was in the 280s, so i flew out of the 280s into the 270s and now the 260s...feels good, i cant wait for the days i once again enter ONEDERLAND!! i LOVE that term (it means your weight starts with a ONE) for most people that's all their weight has ever begun with (expect when they were a kid) for for an overweight person, entering back into ONEderland is something to celebrate over, i hoping i can get there by Christmas time but no rush, i have been carrying this weight around for a decade now so it really doesn't matter how fast it comes off, as long as it comes off!!The way i look at it is, it took me 10 years to get this big so if it takes a year or two or three to get it off, so be it!! Since the weigh in, i lost another LB, so im officially down 20Lbs! and To me it doesn't look like alot, whats 20lbs to someone who was almost 300! But people are starting to notice, i actually had an o;d co-worker see me across the street and we yelled Hello at each other through the traffic and i heard her say, omg you look great, you soooo skinny...all i did was LOL a little, i know im not SKINNY but that was nice of her to notice iv been losing, couldn't tell you the last time someone called me Skinny! Also Ran into a friend yesterday that i haven't seen since before i started with Dr. Poon and she said, wow you look amazing how much weight have you lost.. i talked to my sister who i see all the time and asked her, what is everyone seeing, i don't see myself as anything different...she told me that i looked cleansed, i appear to be much healthier and you can totally see that in  my face...it feels good!! i cant wait to get closer to my goal!!
i bought myself some more stuff from the Ontario nutrition store at the office, this time i got myself some snacks, like jerky, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate some pepperoni sticks, some chocolate, got some spaghetti sauce, bread, cheese, cereal...to get me through, next time I'm buying ALLLLLL snacks, i find it hard when I'm out and i get hungry because there is nothing i can have, i cant just buy a snack from the store! Yesterday we all went to walmart and i didn't eat lunch before we left so i was starving, so my kids had a wrap from McDonalds and i scanned that menu for something i can have, then i noticed a Cesar side side, i would just not use the dressing or cheese or croutons and add grilled chicken, and so i did and it was soooo good but i want to avoid eating out because I'm not in control of what is put into the food and i don't want to sabotage my weight loss because they put too much sodium or something into my food...
Today I'm going to sit down a plan out this weeks menu, know what I'm cooking everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner, i heard from fellow Pooners that it makes your life 1000x easier...so I'm going to give it a try

Anyways, I'm feeling kind of hungry as its 10 o Clock and i still have yet to have breakfast so im gonna head to the kitchen and see what i can throw together.

so until my next entry

Bye bye and thanks for taking the time to read:)
