please forgive the self-congratulatory tone on my recent posts.
it's just that i've been working so hard for this and i can't help but be happy with my progress.
there are days when i feel like quitting. it's too hard! i miss eating pasta! and crepes! and all-butter cranberry cookies from marks and spencer! it's particularly difficult when my little boy eats all of those and i have to feed him. last night he ate a chocolate danish, and he asked me to pour condensed milk on top of it. but when he found out how sticky it was, he didn't want to touch it, so he asked me to feed him. that was torture! the danish was in my hands and i could smell all its buttery and chocolatey yumminess. i wanted to cry.
goodness knows where i get my self control. whatever it is that i'm doing, it's going against my nature. if i didn't have all of you to be accountable to, i'd have given up a long time ago.

torture pat? once you reach your ideal weight you can at least take a bite.. just one bite.
i admire your discipline. you've gone a long long way and to lose 20pounds is SOMETHING already.
You are so almost there.
yes mai! it's torture! =)
but i have a long way to go before i reach my ideal weight, so it'll be ages before i can taste sweets again. i think i might just indulge myself with a few bites on my birthday and on christmas, but i'll go back to phase 1 for a week afterwards.
or you can reward yourself every weekend. just one day won't hurt. it's like celebrating good diet days from sunday to friday.
you can do it pat! you're one of the most diligent people i know!!! kayang kaya, you even got me into it! so that's how inspiring you are ;-)
hi mai, you mean like controlled cheating? hehehe. i tried that one time, but i gained back a kilo the next day, so i didn't do it again. sometimes i may not be aware of it, but when we eat out, i might order the wrong food. (the salad dressing might have had sugar added). i immediately know something's wrong because i'll feel bloated the rest of the day. and the day after, i'll have gained a pound or more.
hi T! i'm so happy to know that, and i'm so proud of your results too!
there are just days when it's so kapoy to cook! =P

Hi pat! You must be feeling deprived of the sweets. Don't give in. Just think that your goal is yummier than that chocolates! =)Wow! Few more months and you will reach that goal. Sexy, trimmed down Patricia! =)
