Week four, and a weight loss of eight pounds. I am psyched! I am even happier about something else, though, but in a way, it has to do with losing weight and following Zone. Robert and I are dating. Before I began the Zone program, I was so down on myself, even before the mirror incident. I don’t remember the last time I felt attractive or like someone could notice me for me. I felt like I was the fat girl, and that’s all I was. Not anymore. Sure, I have about 25 more pounds to lose, but I can see them going. I think that the Zone plan actually helped me get my mind straight about myself. Not just the plan, but the people I have been talking to on the forums and my friend who has been helping me get through all this. I am planning my vacation and have been given some wonderful advice by the nutritionist at Zone about what I should eat, how much, and how often. I have also been walking a mile a day. That has helped me in a lot of areas, too. The people at Zone told me to begin slow and work up. I did, and now am up to a mile after only a few days of walking.
I feel great, and believe it or not, I even took a glance at myself in my full-length mirror. I was nervous about it, but I really thought I had to do it.I was shocked to see the difference that only a few weeks has made. Not only do I look thinner, but I look more toned, less flabby, and have a better complexion. The Zone diet food has been awesome, but even better has been the amount of support that I have received from them.
I bought a new pair of jeans, a new skirt, and a couple of blouses. I have gone down a size, and trying on clothes was fun for a change. I can hardly wait for Robert to see me in my new clothes.
Tonight, we will be going on a picnic. I am bringing the food — Zone for two.
Reading back on my mirror experience brought tears to my eyes. What a way to feel. I hope I never go through anything like that again.
I plan to keep on following this way of eating even after I have lost the weight. The nutritionist at Zone told me that they will help me when I reach my goal. I will be able to continue receiving the prepared food if I want to, or they will teach me how to fix my own Zone meals at home. Whatever I do, I will follow their plan. It works for me, and I love it.
As for Robert and me, well, it’s too soon to tell what will happen there, but in my heart, I think I have an idea. He is a keeper, and I may want to keep him.
