Perhaps this is a great idea. =)

I am mortified!!!! My father's a Methodist minister, and this morning he was trying to show that he was proud of me....

BY TELLING THE WHOLE DAMN CHURCH FROM THE PULPIT I WAS ON A DIET AS AN ANALOGY IN HIS SERMON!!!!!!!

Gee, thanks dad. I REALLY wanted a couple thousand people knowing about it!!!

"How much have you lost? You have been looking thinner these days - I didn't want to ask.
Is this okay for you to eat? So, which diet are you on? Are you sure that's safe? Can you have just some meat over chips then without the nacho cheese? No chips? No carbs? What can you eat?..."

It's sweet, and people have been complimenting me on discipline and stuff but..... not something I wanted everyone knowing. :( Especially since, before, I was ALREADY getting tons of compliments - people telling me I look a lot thinner. And have I been losing weight? And NOW?! Now I won't know whether they REALLY think that and see a difference or whether they are just saying that to be nice to the minister's daughter!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
My medium shirt if falling off my shoulders! Yay!!! Too bad my boobs and stomach haven't caught up with the loss yet. :(
 
Oh hun - bless your Dad, that was lovely of him, if a little stressful for you :)

Well done on the shirt...although I read it as skirt at first and wondered what the heck you were doing wearing a skirt around your shoulders LOL :D
xx
 
Thanks kitty!

OMG - I was happy for the 1 lb off this am and didn't even realize until fixing my ticker - 2 STONES OFF FROM THE DIET IN 5 1/2 WEEKS!!!!!!
 
Rock Eagle - just a retreat center in the mountains., Cabins, a cafeteria, open fields, and a ton of university students! I think like 200 of us are going!! :D And the coolest part is - I am actually friends with most of them. :)
 
Okay, official WI is tomorrow, but I'd say the 200 calorie meal in place of the shake has done amazingly1 I'm still in ketosis and I've lost 3 lbs. so far this week! :D
 
Thanks! =) I'm chuffed. :)
 
Today has been absolutely miserable. I just want to curl up in bed and sob. And no - I didn't cheat on my diet.
 
You ok hun? Im so jealous of your twenty nine pound loss - I know Im up the spout but I was so enjoying losing weight, oh well ill just have to enjoy it next year. You are doing amazingly well by the way
 
Thanks Kitty and gannie.

I'm not sure what was wrong, Kitty. It was just a day where a lot of off things caught up to me. Mom and I fought to start the day off, though she later apologized. I was dead tired in the morning. It caught up wit me how much I don't have a real burning passion for what I'm studying at uni - but I can't get a performing degree in case I fail at it, I need the backup. It's like, you can't name any 1 thing that's wrong enough to reduce you to a sobbing wretch who has to pass it off as allergies and take a kid's allergy med for the parents... :(

I -think- I'm better today. I went to bed at 11pm - WAY early for me - and am only now waking up - sooooo late!! I have to be editing the paper right now!!
 
Official Week 6 WI:

3 LBS!

And with the 200 cal meal!
 
Today, I see my GP about why I've been bruising lately, as according to a CDC, it isn't a normal side effect. :( I thought it was, because usually a spot will feel bruised (even if I can't see a visible bruise there) for a few days, and then, when the soreness is gone, I will have lot inches in that area.

So wish me luck. I hope she won't disapprove of the diet. :(

OH! And the health center on campus here usually takes your weight at last visit unless it's critical or necessary to weigh you, or a regular physical visit, so I think I am going to ask her if she will reweigh me. Last time I was there, I was somewhere between 30-40 lbs. heavier than I am now, and I want my charts to show me as close to a healthy BMI, in the overweight range, rather than in the obese range. :D
 
WEEK 6 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

> Did not cheat!
> Learned which foods were appropriate for my 200 calorie meal.
> Increased the amount of water I've been drinking.
> Did not fall out of ketosis.
> Did not eat the strawberries at our reception, even though they were so sweet I could smell them and see the juice in them!
> Had an absolutely wretched, miserable day where I broke down and sobbed, and did NOT use food to comfort me!!
> Received several compliments about my new, smaller size.
> Family says they are really noticing a huge difference.
> Increased frequency of use of makeup, as I can FINALLY stand to look at my face in the mirror!!!!!
> Caught a vision of myself and thought, "Wow.... I look pretty!" (1st time in over a year that I've thought of myself as anything positive.)
> FIT INTO MY SEVEN JEANS!!! (Not size, brand... I had a pair that I bought skin tight on sale, and couldn't zip myself into. Was at least 1-2 inches from them buttoning, and I didn't even have to suck my belly in today!!)
> Had to buy new shirts because mine are sagging and drooping.
> Sweater bought skin tight on Saturday fit loosely on Wednesday - even with a camisole added underneath! Another sweater bought Saturday was so loose when worn on Monday that the straps started falling off my shoulders! AND these tops bought were size MEDIUM! (If only my boobs would catch up....)
 
I'm off with my friends, and apparently we have wireless?! :-o

It's been great. A few ppl. have asked about my shakes, but no one has made fun of me, and actually moreover people aren't making me feel weird for it either - they're acting like it's no big thing.

A couple of them even tried my dressing and BBQ sauce today during lunch and preferred it to the full calorie packets they had, so that's kind of awesome too - helping my friends be healthy and they think I'm not weird. :)
