So, I finally got some clothes that fit the other day and today I completed the look! I left Chad with the baby and I went and got my hair highlighted, toned, styled, and my eyebrows waxed. I came home and put on some of my fabulous new clothes and a little makeup and I'm feeling fantastic! (Plus I got a couple pair of shoes when we went to the mall... I NEVERRRR get things for me..always for the boys!) Feeling good about myself now only makes me want to feel BETTER about myself in the future! For the first time in my life, I feel like I can do this. Whenever I've tried to diet before I always felt like I was missing out on things and that I couldn't eat good things. I don't know where I got that misconception because I've been eating great, I don't even feel like I'm dieting. I've only been officially at this for less than a week, but I'm not feeling deprived, I am ok with a chocolate fiber one bar in place of a piece of chocolate, or a rice cake as a snack. Whenever I've dieted before the second I say I'm dieting all I can think of is bad food. My only weak point today was at the salon when one other customer came in with a McDonald's cheeseburger and fries, and then one of the stylists came in with chick-fil-a... I don't think about these foods, but smelling them sure made my stomach grumble for them! I persevered though and am proud of myself for doing so. I've decided our new go-to place when we want to go out is Applebee's because of their amazing under 550 calories menu. I ate a normal size steak, plus shrimp and sides for 500 calories and it was completely delicious. Trying something different next time :)
