27 down and counting 8-1

I have lost a total of 27 pounds now.  I have past the dreaded 25 mark.  On to the 30 mark.  Only 3 pounds away from that!  I went and had my monthly protime blood test at the doctors.  I decided to get weighed and see where I was at.  I am so glad to be on the downside of the scale as opposed to the upside of the scale.

I have been working on portions.  One of my downfalls is restaurants.  Today I went to Olive Garden with my friend, Wendy.  We had a really good time.  We chatted and caught up on how everyone was doing.  We each had a salad.  I really like Olive Garden's salad.  I ate 1/2 of my dinner and saved the rest for lunch tomorrow.  Usually, I would eat the whole thing but today i didn't.  I did, however, split a piece of cheesecake with Wendy.  I don't usually get dessert but it came with our meal.

I have also given up muffins from Tim Horton's.  I was so appalled that I only lost 2 pounds last time that I decided I didn't want them anymore and I haven't had any since.  Since that was only about 2 weeks ago, I am not sure if that had anything to do with the newest weight lose or not but I have lost my desire to eat them.

I have notice that lately I have lost the desire to eat a lot of things I used to.  I don't want to eat the sweets that I used to.  I am not sure if it because I am finally to the point where I am tired of gaining weight or just that the sweets do not taste as good as they used to.  I don't know.  I am not questioning it too much though because whatever it is, I am not interested in eating the junk food so I am not.
