Theresa, sounds like you really did good on vacation. Just think of the damage you could have done, but, really, all in all, sounds like you did so much better than years past would have done! Keep up/off the good work!! How long did it take you to get an appointment with Julie for a tweaking session? I want to go for one, but if she only does them at night, I will have to wait until it is lighter later at night. I can not see in the dark and I have to travel almost 1 hour to get there.
I know what you mean about the comments about weight loss. I thrive on those comments. I know I am on a plateau right now as I feel like nothing is happening and I don't like the feeling one bit. My mind starts to play around like I am doing it wrong, I should eat less, I should/maybe I can't, blah blah blah. My friend started 1 week after me, she didn't go to Julie, she is just doing it on her own from what I told her. She is averaging 2 pounds a week loss. She is melting. I want to melt! But it isn't a competition or a race, and I have to get out of that mindset. Like you said, as long as I am doing what she said, the weight will come off. But oh yes, I LOVE those compliments. Luanne gave me her skirts that are to big for her now and I was excited to get them home, but alas, they didn't fit and that was a disappointment to me. I am in a 20, but it appears to be I can't get into all styles of size 20's. GRRRR! Then she threw some 18's in there, well, those made it on but no way to zip. I need to be thankful that I could get them on even if I couldn't zip. 6 months ago I wouldn't have been able to get my legs into them, so if I really think about it, yes there is progress. I have been on Julie's program for 10 weeks, I need patience, patience and more patience. Not one of my greatest virtues unfortunately!
Thank you for starting this blog. It does help me a lot to be able to touch base with someone who is also on this path. I am hoping more people start writing on here too!
Have a good day.
Linda
Ten weeks is fabulous-congratulations! When you call for an appointment, ask if they have any sessions during the day on Saturday. I believe she has day sessions during the week and sometimes on Saturdays. I know just what you mean about wonderful hand-me-downs that don't fit. I put them in a separate closet as soon as I find they don't fit. It is difficult not to be hard on ourselves, but we are where we are and if we keep moving forward those clothes will fit soon enough!
