Still Going strong (kind of)

So I have been on this diet for the last seven week. I have lost almost 35 lbs so far. My original goal was to go from 220 to 175 but I have lowered my goal by 10 lbs because I think I can do it. Sometimes it is hard because I get pretty bored with the food options. But I started walking with a friend for about and hour and a half every night and that has help me get stronger. Speaking of stronger, there are some times where I feel a little light headed, and I have talked to my diet consultant about it. She told me to increase my limited foods to twice a day, but I am too stubborn to do it. I know that it would help, but I also know I won't get down to my goal weight as fast as I want to. So for right now I am just trying to make sure I get all of my allowed food in.

What is funny are the reactions I keep getting from everyone. I get a lot of "Have you lost some weight?", "You can really see it in your face.", "You know you really do need to eat." Granted I work with a lot of guys, and they are kind of hesitant to bring up weight with a woman, but I am proud of how much I have lost so I tell everyone. This last weekend I went back to Mom and Dad's to help them pack for their move and they were really surprised with how much I have lost. But then I opened my big mouth and told them I only get between 500-700 calories a day. Dad got really upset and told me that is not enough to sustain life. I don't know how many times I have to explain that this isn't a permanent thing, that I will eventually go back to eating whatever I want (however with better portion control then before). I am planning on starting to do some strength training in the mornings soon.

Oh well, life goes on.
