Remember this entry, way back in January? I'd talked about the diet I was going on.
Well, two months later, I've lost 6 kg (around 14 1/2 pounds) and am seeing the "8" in front of the number for the first time in years. ^_____^ So I now weigh around 197 1/2 pounds, instead of 212!
Yes, I still have a bit to go, but I'm really very pleased with myself! And it's still no problem to continue. The switch in my mind has stayed on the right side, despite book fairs and conventions, dinner invitations and the occasional take-out. I always choose what to eat very carefully, so that I don't fall back into bad habits.
I feel much better about myself! Removed all the large-size jeans and pants from my closet. I'm giving them away to charity, to make sure that I don't "grow into them" again...
I know I promised recipes. I have them here, but the conversions are taking time. And I've been down with a really bad cold for the last week or so (brought it with me from the Leipzig book fair. >.< ), so I really haven't felt like doing anything except whatever absolutely *needed* to be done.
I'll get better, never fear! ;)

I *did* permit myself a trip to the local sushi place once a week. But by now I can't eat more than two inside-out rolls (they cut them up thin, so that would make 16 pieces in all) at a time. That's how much my eating capability has been reduced! Thank the Gods! :)
I always say I'll do better and then can't seem to find the energy to care. How is the hubby situation now? Any closer to a settlement?
Hubby's starting to move out, slowly. >.< He's found a place over at a friend's house, but he's taking his time about getting his stuff there. The new appartment is very small, so he really has to choose what to put in there. But he's doing it, so that's something.
I have to get the paperwork together for our pre-divorce agreement in the next weeks, so then we're more or less set for our separation year. :)
Did you lose weight *because* of the stomach problems, or did you have stomach problems because of losing weight?
These days, when I overeat, or eat stuff that's too rich or too fatty (like fast food), I feel really bad. When I eat healthy, I feel quite good. :)
I'm just glad that this is working out so well. I really do need to lose weight, since my joints and my back tend to protest quite a bit, when I weigh too much. And, as you know, I'm not getting younger... ;)
I can do it. ^^
