So last night after reading all of your replies to my Too Fat to Fly post (thank you for the reassurances!), I decided this is just what I need to set a mini-goal. I've been kind of floundering lately, not really focused on any particular goal, just going along and hoping my restriction is enough to keep me from doing real damage. Not ideal for good, consistent weight loss.
Today is Feb. 16th. We leave for Utah on March 12. My mini-goal is to weigh 225 the day we leave. That's aggressive, I have probably 9 pounds to lose in less than a month. If I don't get right there, then I hope to be close.
The Plan:
* Work whatever restriction I have. Eat fish, turkey chili, substantial foods that will fill me up with relatively few calories.
* Avoid wine, even on weekends (current rule has been wine only on weekends.)
* No drinking with meals. At all. Ever.
* Exercise. I've done little exercise thus far, so there's lots of room for improvement here.
* Drink lots of water.
* Drink decaffeinated tea at night to avoid snacking. Thanks to Barbara for that tip, it did help last night.
I have my second fill on March 1st and I'll ask for 2 cc's then (I have 4 now).
Wish me luck!
