Losing weight by my new scale

I'm starting to like my new Taylor digital scale now. I had words with that darn thing when I first got it because the first time I weighed myself on it, I weighed 5 more pounds than my old scale said. Oh...that hurt!!! I see they are on sale at Amazon.com.

I weighed myself today, and I've lost 2 pounds since the 16th. Yippee!! I had weighed myself yesterday and it was the same 2 pounds..so today just verified it for me. I really think that logging my food intake and water intake has really helped me. When I realized how much diet coke I was drinking a day....I was shocked (6-7 cans). I buy the stuff when it is on sale and have cases and cases in my garage. I now have lots of bottled water on my front porch.

I like losing weight this way, as I don't feel hungry. The last time I lost weight, I starved myself...only eating every 3rd day. I use to get such terrible terrible cramps in my legs, it would wake me at night and I'd have to pace the floor. The only two things I did right on that diet journey was, worked out and drank lots of water and sun tea.

This time, it's the gradual life changes I've made that will make this weight loss permanent. Since my husband had that stroke last week, he is now going to have to make changes too. I think now I'll get him to go to the gym with me and start eating what I do. It's amazing the different ways God goes about getting out attention.

Time to throw the clothes in the dryer.
