I experienced employment rejection this morning. I know it's for the best, but I *did* immediately think of this song when I saw the email. Also, thank you so much for sending me an email. It is so rude when they can't even send an automated email letting you know that you are no longer under consideration. So that was good.
I am pleased to announce that as of this morning I have lost SIXTEEN POUNDS. I weighed myself three times to be sure. It feels amazing physically, but also emotionally, to know that I have a goal and I'm making quantifiable progress towards completing it. I think my original goal was 20-25 pounds. I feel like it's going to start getting more difficult now, since I've been at this weight or above for 5+ years, but I'll just give it my best. It's been surprisingly easy. I've just been eating fruits and veggies (raw or cooked, fresh or frozen only) and for dinner making plain whole wheat pasta or tofu for protein. Once I took out the empty calories from the alcohol and all the processed foods (although I do sneak an Amy's frozen lunch every once in a while...) and started drinking water, the pounds just fell off. I've also been more active - aside from pacing constantly out of nervousness, I've also stopped watching TV for the most part.
It feels good. And the best part is realizing that if overall, my lifestyle is healthier, I can splurge on, say, gnocchi with pesto, artichoke hearts and pine nuts every once in a while. Like yesterday. Mmmmm...
