Day 47 – no hCG, still VLCD

Weight:  172.5

This phase of 3 days of staying on the very low calorie diet while letting the hCG move out of my system has been a bit challenging.  Not because I’m starving, but because I’m mentally ready to move on and eat what I want.  Which I have been a bit; yesterday was much more than today, so when I saw that the scale hadn’t changed, I was relieved.  However, I may have missed an opportunity to lose another .5 pounds, so that is the consequence.

I am still puzzled by my seemingly sudden desire to stuff myself.  I was talking with a friend today who said that when she gets to a certain point in her weight loss journey she always sabotages herself.  If that is what’s going on with me, and taking into account my behavior only, that would be the logical conclusion.  I need to fix this, and fast!

I truly want to accomplish this task once and for all.  So, tonight, I went and bought an outfit that fits.  And, for the first time that I can remember since 7th grade, I bought a size 14 pair of pants!  Mind you, they are stretch jeans, but they fit!  Well!  No baggy butt, no baggy legs and I don’t have a muffin top!  I even bought a nice top to go with them.  My idea is that if I am wearing clothing that fits and  looks nice, I may be more aware and more conscious of my actions and my feelings.

My co-worker today mentioned that my pants are about to fall off of me.  I plan to replace my work pants last, since I do still have 15 pounds I want to lose from around my middle, but she’s right, I will have to replace them soon.  I bought the nice jeans tonight, rather than work pants, because I am taking a long weekend where I can take advantage of my new outfit, rather than thinking about work attire!  Next week I also get to telecommute, so I get to wear what I want.

I am still amazed at being able to wear much smaller clothing!
