Mindifi + Weigh-In

Well, I've been listening to hypnotherapy apps every day, mostly the Mindifi one for Weight Loss (available for iPhone and Android), for about three weeks.  And for over two weeks of that, I've eaten no junk food!  When I've wanted a treat, I've eaten a couple of dates, and some nuts.  I've also been exercising daily still (well, that hardly ever changes).  So, today seemed a good time to do a weigh-in:

61.6k (135.8 lbs)

I feel really good about this.  Not only because I've lost weight, but more to the point because I'm eating healthily.  Already, three people have commented on me looking slimmer, and I notice that the fat around my stomach is starting to come off.  That was one of my main motivators to start eating better again.  My weight wasn't actually too bad, but I could see that a lot of it was round my middle, which they say is the least healthy kind of fat.

I have been tempted a few times, but I hope I can keep this up as a general way of life.  Will definitely keep listening to the hypnosis apps!

Hurray For Hypnosis Apps!

Been listening to hypnotherapy apps on my iPhone for about the last 10 days, and it's been really helpful.  I think it's like they say with exercise or meditation more generally: better to do 20 minutes a day than an hour once a week.  So, with that impetus, for the last 7 days I haven't eaten any chocolate or biscuits, for the first time in at least a year.  And the last time was just because I couldn't eat that stuff due to morning sickness.  The last time I truly quit sugar of my own accord was at least two years ago.

This morning, my DH said he thought he could see I'd lost weight, so I decided to jump on the scales.  And yes, I'm down to 62.1k (just under 137 lbs)!  I believe this will be maintainable long term, I sure hope so!
