• 7.5 Pounds

  So June of last year was when my plateau really started. I felt stuck. 

  Then at the end of January I read: Made to Crave.

  I felt that God asked me to give up my trigger foods…sugar and chips.

  I kept hearing the phrase, “Not one bite!”

  So I’ve been sugar and chip free (okay one friend gave me a piece of chocolate from Finland and it would have been really rude to not take it, so I had one piece, but told John and my accountability group right away) for a month. I’ve not even had 1 chocolate chip when making pancakes for the boys. I’ve not had any sugary cereal. I’ve not had a donut or anything. Last night we had chips and salsa…and I almost ate one, but no “Not one bite”.

  In one month I’ve lost 7.5 pounds.

  Not only have I lost 7.5 pounds I’ve noticed that I tend to not overeat. I have seen that sugar is indeed my biggest trigger food. When I eat (well, when I used to eat) sugar it would trigger my body to crave more food.

  I had no idea it was that big of an issue for me.

  With Weight Watchers I was “tracking” my trigger foods…but feeling a fall out with food once the cycle of sugar eating began.

  I have no idea when I’ll start eating my trigger foods. I don’t want to feel as if not eating sugar is what is controlling my weight loss, but I also don’t want to start the overeating cycle. I want to know I’ve broken that stronghold!

  As of this morning I am down 70 pounds from my top weight in October of 2009.
