Today I am 229 pounds.O my goodness this makes me happy!

Some observations now that I am 3 and a half months out:

1. When I exercise and take a multivitamin I am a lot hungrier than usual.

2. At night,I can eat way more than in the morning.

3. Snacking of any kind stalls my weight.Who knows why.It seems that my body reaches a homeostasis quickly whe I give it little bits of food all the time,even though my calories stays at 800 per day.However,when I snack it is easy to go up to 1000 or even 1200 per day.

4. Losing focus is quite easy.When life happens I still want to return to my default,eating away my hurts and fears.Even though I cant.

5.Exercise hurts more than ever.My goodness I am weak.Maybe waiting so long before starting to do some weights was a bad idea as it is quite pathetic to see me now..lol

6.Calcium and magnesium citrate helps with constipation.

7.Not focussing on the scale,even learning to laugh the days the weight is up a little.When you know what you do is right,you will lose weight.If what you do doesnt work for you,change it!

8.CARBS certainly seems to be my friend.Even though everyone says dont!I lose way more when I eat little bits of carbs every day!

Now I am going to South Africa (where it is winter and cold cold cold) and this will be my baptism with fire as far as making good food choices are concerned.But for the first time I am sure things will go well.I know what I can eat,what I should avoid and as long as I keep my portion sizes small it will be ok.My mom has a treadmill so I can do some running for exercise!

I am so happy for everyone that is losing weight.It is so life changing and living is so much easier!
