Inches, inches where have you gone?
I have successfully completed the second full week of the UniqueU Medical Weight Loss program. My size 18 jeans which so lovingly welcomed me back after more than a year, are now becoming more standoffish. My size 16s are anxiously awaiting my return!
I can tell the inches are melting away with the pounds as my face, and definitely my mid-section, is shrinking!
Phase Two of the program consists of a low-to-no carb diet, but remarkably after doing the detox portion of the program and taking the miracle appetite suppressant, I have not experienced any hunger pangs or cravings for my once daily fix of chocolate. I have almost completely stopped drinking my vice of choice, Diet Coke, and when I do indulge in one, it no longer tastes as good as I remember. In fact, when I am thirsty, I crave water! Who would have thought?
While I will admit there are things I miss, I no longer feel like I can’t live without them. An afternoon cup of Almond Vanilla tea sweetened with Stevia and lightened with sugar-free Almond Vanilla Coffee Mate makes a great afternoon drink along with a hand full of nuts or a cheese stick. My tastes are changing and they are becoming healthier!
I have also noticed an increase in energy, (although I have never been a slug), I bound out of bed with anticipation of seeing what the scale says for the day. Maybe that face-to-face with the Health-O-Meter keeps me motivated and on track. Whatever the reason, I am loving it.
Other positive attributes of the program seem to be that it is contagious. When I plan my food and fix my lunch or snack, my dear hubby wants to eat the same things. Could this be a “two-for-one” diet without really trying? Of course the few pounds he needs to lose will evaporate much like the cold glass of water I fix for myself and sit between us.
I had planned on posting a new photo, but decided to wait until I’m comfortably in my size 16 jeans—next week.
As I look ahead to my long-term goal of losing 65 pounds, I am already dreaming of shopping for a size 10 dress to wear to our nephews wedding in May. I just need to make sure it is not the same color as the brides maids.
