Physical and Weekend Away

Hi All,

I had my yearly physical last week and received great news. After the nurse weighed me she said,   Wow, you've lost over 30lbs since July.  I stopped her from telling me more.  In fact I was.... "No I can't know."  She then asked me if I did KH.  I said yes.  She said that she had seen a few patients that had done KH and look great.  I started to tell her about it and ... Like all of us, she will make the decision to call or not.

I'm healthy and my doctor said that I'm in great shape.  I wasn't on any meds and don't need any.  I will be 52 in a few weeks and like I have said, I feel wonderful.

So, 2 days later I was heading to Cape Cod for a 4 day long weekend.  I had all the intentions of sticking to the program, but after some quiet thoughts, I allowed myself to enjoy my time away.  What did this look like?

I ate clean each day, but twice I had pizza late at night.  I  had a few beers, and realized that.... I really didn't miss them.  The other treat I allowed myself was candy corn.  Why, I don't  know.   I just did.  On my drive back home, I knew that Sunday was back on my plan.

Now it's Monday and I am so happy to report that, I ate great yesterday and today.  I don't have ANY pull toward sugar or carbs.  I allowed myself to explore and am back and on track for the duration, which is until I'm a loose pants size 8.  Currently, I am a size 10.

Would I recommend this for you? No.  But, I did it for me, while on vacation.  I'm telling you all this, not to say, go crazy, but for me, I feel as strong as I did in July.   That is how good Julie is and was for me.

    Jane - congratulations on your weight loss! Your story came at the perfect time for me! I've been faitfully on program for 4 months and have probably gone down 2 sizes and was starting to feel good. I had to have a minor surgery and had to be home for 3 weeks and COULD NOT EXERCISE and still can't for another 3 weeks! Surprising enough I did well with my meal choices during that time, but this past weekend I have no clue what happened to me but I craved carbs and kind of went crazy. I had pierogis, popcorn, pizza and some snacks. Sooo mad at myself! But Sunday night told myself the same thing - right back on track and so far so good. It is scary 'cause you think you'll start down that horrible path again, but we've got to realize that isn't where we want to go and just get right back on it. Thanks again for posting this and best of luck in continued success!

    Jane I think it's great that you are able to use the tools Julie gave you, and live life on your terms!

    I hope to someday be able to do the same. For right now, I have to stay in the river, because I know food still has a hold over me. I still want to turn to it when I am bored, happy, angry, need comfort........... take your pick!

    Welcome back to the river!

    Jane-I read your post and I was impressed with your ability to get right back on program after straying. I have been on the KH program for 5 1/2 months and my goal is to go 1 year then maintenance. I am planning on going to a refresher in the beginning of November to recharge my focus through the holidays.I don't know about other KH followers but I prefer to take steps to make sure that I will not be told my weight.
