This stuff WORKS!!

So I go back in for my 2 week check, and guess what? I have lost 6.6 pounds. I can't even believe it. All I really did differently was take that little magic pill every morning. Okay, that's not all I did. I did try to walk, but honestly, that didn't happen everyday. I tried to be more active, going inside to get the kids from school instead of drive thru, parking farther away, that type of thing. I tried to eat more veggies, more fruits, whole wheat pasta, whole grain bread, not whole wheat. I pretty much gave up all sweets. I gave up fast food and sodas. I watched my portion sizes. A lot of that was on my own, and a lot of that I had help, in the form of the pill. I noticed I would eat breakfast, which, I'm NOT a breakfast person, never have been, probably never will be. There just isn't many breakfast foods that appeal to me other than bacon. So usually I will eat some sort of leftovers. Then I noticed I wouldn't be hungry for HOURS. Or I would get just a tiny bit hungry so I would have a healthy snack, some fruit, Sun Chips (love the Garden Salsa) or granola bar, or handful of almonds. Then eat a smaller portion of dinner. I also started using the smaller salad plates for dinner instead of the larger dinner plates. A few times I would fix a plate like I normally would, take a few bites and look down and realize I still had enough food on my plate to feed a couple more people, and I was FULL.

So, I guess the magic pill is working, I'm not getting the placebo!! I know it's not making the food choices for me, but it's a lot easier to eat healthier when you aren't hungry ALL THE TIME. It's a nice feeling to be satisfied. And it's nice to not be worrying about food all the time. And I really, really hope that I keep losing 6.6 pounds every 2 weeks, I know that's a lot, and probably unrealistic, but a girl can dream, right?
