This morning I weighed myself in at a total of a 21 pound weight loss.
I saw the Doctor today and he was impressed. He couldn't believe how much weight I've lost in just two months. He said with a big grin, "Your rockin it out!" I began to wonder if he were more excited than I? He suggested that I see a Dietitian a few months ago. Though I didn't think I needed the help, (because I thought I had all the answers but no willingness) I took his advice. I am glad he encouraged me to see the Dietitian because she has helped me understand that there are no "bad foods" and my black and white thinking has changed into a life long mind set for a healthy lifestyle. I believe the Doc is excited because he helped play a hand in my weight loss. He said, "I have encouraged many patients to see the Dietitian and rarely do they listen." What the Doc doesn't know is, I was ready for a change, he just helped me with a good nudge. I am excited to see his reaction three months from now!
On another note, I've noticed Subway's new commercial about avocado season. On a recent trip to the store I saw avocados on sale so I bought a few. I have added a few scoops of avocado to my salad along with garden fresh sweet onion salsa and I discovered I really didn't need a dressing so I left it out. I have heard good things about avocados and bad things, though remembering my Dietitian's words, "There are no bad foods" helped me. I did, however, investigate the nutritional facts and compare them to that of sour cream and ranch dressing, since I would have chosen either one instead of an avocado for either Mexican food or a salad. I found the avocados have far more nutritional value than either sour cream or ranch dressing and really, it was expected, since it is a natural food. So please, go out and buy a few avocados this season and enjoy the creamy, fresh texture which is far better than sour cream or a salad dressing.
