Finally Friday--WTHeck
How was your week? Happy late Valentines Day! Mine was busy, but not so busy that I am not getting in 2 posts this week! Whoop!
I lost this week, just didn't get a chance to post on Wednesday! I am at the 240 mark! I told you I would be very excited at the 230s and I will be! It is still a lot of weight to go, but it is the furthest I have made it in my weight loss journey in a long time, so it kind of symbolizes "really doing it" this time. Here is my latest picture, my face is slimming down a lot!
Still eating real food still 100% avoiding gluten! Even thru all the social events and dining out, I can't believe I didn't start eating this way YEARS ago, really I am just amazed at the way I feel. I can tell it still bothers people though, which is interesting, my husband and good friend comment on the way I eat all the time. If any of you can clue me into why that may be, it is almost like it makes them uncomfortable, even though I don't try and force it on anyone or even talk about it (that is what this blog is for LOL). I try to help my kids eat this way, because I know it is better for them, but I still even prepare my DH a coffee with artificial sweetener and a frozen breakfast sandwich (his request not mine, I'd be happy to make a fresh one for him) every morning.
You know what, I want to scream every time I hear someone say, "I just started Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers or Shake Weight or whatever the plan, I know it is going to work this time, how are you losing your weight?" and I simply reply "Oh I cut out all processed foods and gluten" and they look at me like I am nuts! Guess what? Why are you trying the same thing over and over again hoping it will work? Not that it hasn't worked for some people, but those folks that are on their ninth attempt?!?!?! You think I am nuts? How nuts are you? LOL
Any way, clearly this won't be my most popular post, but I have to get it off my chest, soap box is officially stowed. Now that I have jarred everyone, I would like to share some weekend Motivation :)

I am so glad that it's working for you. :) I admit I am always a little doubtful when someone says they are giving up something on that large of a scale but you've done it! :) And I think that's awesome! ;) Keep on, keepin' on, girl!
Thanks! I know most people are doubtful, I was too, but the strangest thing, even tasting a food that I have excluded...doesn't even taste good any more...truthfully. I really appreciate your support!
