Ahhhh.. pouch eating.... love it!

I absolutely LOVE that I can eat less than 1/2 cup of black-eyed peas for lunch and be COMPLETELY satisfied!! I used to need a bowl or two, and always had to have cornbread, of course! But now I don't need much at all... I'm completely full and satisfied, and it's all protein!

I just love, love, love having a pouch! I know it probably sounds wierd... but it really is the best decision/choice I ever made! I love that I can taste a little bite of something.. so I don't feel deprived if there's something yummy on the table.. but I don't have any desire to eat more than a small bite of something that's not good for me!

I still have to put some focus on food, because I have to cook balanced meals for my family, but it's so nice to not even have to worry about food (for myself) much.. because a few bites and I'm done. Eating used to be such a big focus of the day, and it's just not that way anymore. I thought that would be hard, and I sure never expected to embrace it... but I LOVE IT!

...... just had to share! :)

3 months = 51 lbs lost!!

We just got back this weekend from a cruise, I was able to enjoy a bite or two at each meal of whatever I wanted, (not sugary things of course)... but we had a great time, and I didn't gain anything at all in a 5 day cruise! I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything!!

I also had no sickness, which was great!!

It was a blast!!

It's officially the 3 month mark today, and I've lost 51 lbs. I need to do inches soon (I've been bad about that, I admit) but can I say, "THIS IS SO FUN!?" :)
