About Me

Tomorrow, Sept. 17th will be the end of my 6th week of eating mostly vegan. I say "mostly" because I still occasionally eat meat and egg whites. I am trying veggie patties for substitutes of breakfast sausages.

I don't know if I will have lost pounds or inches this week, but one thing I am very excited about is that I have gone down one whole size in my slacks and in my tops!!! This afternoon, I went through my closet and was pleasantly surprised. Not all the one-size-down tops fit, but MOST of them did!!! Wow!!! A whole new wardrobe!!!!

So come visit tomorrow to see if I've had any changes in pounds or inches. I also know that there are times when your body (oh, well, I might as well say it....your FAT cells) has to take time to change shape. You never lose fat cells, but they do shrink!! I've been told that this re-arranging of cells can often take as much as six weeks. Six weeks of no changes in pounds or inches, and only then can you assume you have reached a plateau. We often panic if there are no losses for 2-3 weeks, and we just give up, because we've done everything we should, and we STILL didn't lose. In this age of immediacy, we assume it isn't working, and we revert to our old ways of eating!! Because I am feeling so much better eating mostly vegan, I hope I can be strong and continue this plan. Only with God's help, will this work for me!! It is hard not to put yourself in charge, but I know that's the only way it will work!
