Short update...2 month mark!

Things are busy around the Morgan Household these days, with homeschooling, fun field-trips, and plans for a cruise in 2 weeks... sorry I haven't been updating as well as I should! I'll try to get better! :)

Eating is getting easier as I learn to make sure my first bite is very cautious and slow, as that's usually the one that gets hung up!!! I really haven't found anything I can't have or don't tolerate, I am just learning some foods are way more filling than others, so I have to evaluate each meal by the "density" LOL... this way I don't feel yucky, thinking I had room for the normal amount. (I can't eat as many bites if the food is heavy)

I've been TRYING to get the high levels of protein in everyday, but I am noticing a little bit of hair loss (It's not that bad, I just see the hairs falling out alot)... so I think I better step it up a little bit! :( SIGH! This is the most difficult thing, I think... there isn't enough room or time in the day w/out doing a drink.. and don't get me started on the drinks!!! :) LOL!

I just thought I'd post that I've lost about 40 lbs according to the last time I weighed (a couple days ago), and down another size!! Okay, I'll spill it... I've went from a size 18 to a size 12 in 2 months!! I think that's some good results!! Anyone want my doctor's number?? LOL! :)

I'm currently having to shop for some clothes for our upcoming cruise, I don't want to go on vacation looking frumpy in baggy clothing (like I look around town!)! I've been trying to put off buying clothes as long as possible... I had a few items in step-down sizes... but I'm officially OUT of those sizes now.. YEA! So I decided that it's time to break down and purchase a few clothing items and I am realizing that some peoples stories were right! I was told that sometimes the biggest hurdle when you are losing, is wrapping your mind around your new "size".. I was doing some shopping today, and the clothes I would pull out that looked like my size would be way too big, they were my old sizes! I obviously still see myself that size! I wouldn't naturally pull out a pair of jeans that were that narrow (new size), my brain hasn't processed it all yet, I guess! But this is a very real part of the process, I hear, and now I'm finding out for myself.. I have been putting off buying clothes, not only to buy as little as possible (since you don't get to wear them very long).. but also, because really, I still feel bigger... it's the strangest thing! I spent a very exhausting day in and out of the dressing room, exchanging for smaller sizes.. and get home to model for my husband and he says... Babe- those jeans are already baggy! SIGH! I'm not going back... these will have to do for a little while!! :)

Next step-- Size 10! Trying to prepare myself! :) Hehe... it IS fun.. no denying that!! :)

So excited for the months to come!!
