Having a hard day
| Mon, 02-02-2004 - 4:49pm |
It actually started last night and I was thinking how easy it is just to throw in the towel and eat what I want. Don't worry...nothing happened. I just had to talk to myself a bit and realize why I started this way of eating in the first place. Goal 1: To reduce my risk of getting adult-onset-diabetes (most family members have it) Goal 2: lose weight to the point where I don't have to huff so much going up stairs (one flight) Goal 3: Just to feel good in general.
During lunch today I was thinking again how easy it would be just to pop something into the microwave and eat it. I have a daughter so she can still eat carbs while I have to wait 11 days yet to have some good ones. Yesterday during the superbowl it was easy to stay on the diet with DH around, but now it's really hard. I've even made a count down board of the days to when I can start eating carbs. Sad I know.
I think I just need to make it through this day.
Thanks for listening,
Tammy

When I have a carb craving (usually from seeing something- I am way better off never seeing it!!) I have extra protein that day. I'm not sure why that helps- it does fill me up a bit. I am a major carb addict- I had (had- yay!) 10 pounds from Christmas alone to prove it! But now I don't have any carb cravings at all. First week I had to use will power, after second week, I still needed it out of sight, third week a breeze, now at four weeks, never really wanted all the goodies spread out at the Superbowl party and even the candy dish at work didn't tempt me (luckily in another department). It really does get better. When I have a hard day I pretend it's my body ready to lose another big bunch and I just have to hang in there.

Boy can I sympathize. I am 3 weeks into this WOE, and its still hard for me some days, but those first two weeks were a BEAR! I MADE myself be so strict, etc. that I hated myself for doing it, because I didn't see the results i thought I should. so at 2.5 weeks I threw in the towel and had a cheat day, which made me realize the only thing i REALLY missed was the chocolate, that was the only thing that was satisfying throughout my whole day of pizza, cereal, and whatever carb I could find. I went back on the plan the next day and have stuck to it very well! Without missing the stuff, where as before I was having such a hard time. Stick in there! It does get easier, believe me.

I just went shopping today (twice in one week) again and bought small steaks and chicken breasts fillets. I finally added LF cottage cheese and FF Plain yogurt. Next week I'm doing a menu plan (suggested by YOU) and will have more variety. I think that is what's killing me. Since this is my first week I have to expect to just wing it and eventually jump on the bandwagon.
Thanks again for the support and being here for me.
