SECOND WEEK ON LOW GLYCEMIC
Was very pleased when I recorded my weight loss for the second week. The first week I had lost a pound. I had set a goal for 1.5 lbs. the second week. If I'm going to make my larger goal of 10 lbs. in 6 weeks, I need to be losing 1.5 lbs. a week.
Imagine my delight when my loss for Week Two was 1.9 lbs. Wow! I was so happy. Almost 2 lbs.! I haven't lost 1.9 lbs. in a single week in FIVE YEARS. I am totally serious, people. My metabolism was always low, and even with Synthroid for my thyroid, I rarely lose more than 3/4 lb. or 1 lb. in a week now that I'm 64. Five years ago, at age 59, when I first started Weight Watchers, I did lose 2 l/2 lbs. the first week. But soon my aveage loss was only 1.5 lbs. week. For me to lose 1.9 lbs. this week REALLY THRILLED ME.
Eating according to the Glycemic Index is quite simple. I would be glad to work one-on-one with any of my friends on DS who might want to do it. There really is something to the theory that avoiding blood sugar and insulin problems is the KEY TO CONTROLLING APPETITE. I was less hungry and less moody. Normally on a diet I'm ready to choke somebody, I get so irritable. I was also less hungry at bedtime.
THANK YOU ALL MY FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS. You are such good people! Judy
