I too would love to look like/wear what the girl in the black dress from your entry is wearing...and have her hair, teeth and smile....I wonder if she was air brushed and stuff?
I fell off the healthy eating train this week. I was just SO mad when I stepped on that scale to see that after working out, eating healthier and portion watching I had lost nothing, not one pound... after my sixth successful week!
I should've picked up that scale that and thrown it as far as I could!...but I didn't because I was at the gym and might've hit someone else in the locker room.
I worked out at least 3 times every week. I calorie counted. I got rid of most unhealthy food in my house, people say I should be proud of this new change, this is a triumph in itself...blah blah blah...I was frustrated and I went for it...
I ate away the pain by binging! I mean if I'm going to stay the same anyway...I'll eat yummy rice krispies! Cookies! Smores! Punch! to start with and so I did. Then I continued with wine and dark chocolate! The fattiest sandwich from a not-so-fatty restaurant! I followed that by ordering a burger for delivery when I was feeling lonely and instead of veggies let's shove those sweet potato fries in my mouth! Then I made burgers another night and somehow two more boxes of mac and cheese disappeared from my cupboard!
That's all I remember from last week, but I'm sure there was oh so much more to my junk food feast. I didn't gain or lose anything pounds wise. I was however, rewarded with a pounding headache for the next few days. I feel like a failure...but I'm going to start over again, because trying has got to count for something. Trying will make me feel better than giving up completely.
Tonight, I will make homemade tomato soup with laughing cow grilled cheese on sprouted bread. As soon as I gain the courage I will start logging my food again...one day there is bound to be results...I hope.
Doing more than hoping here,
Angela

I had to rid myself of the "Starting over again" mentality. I have to think of being healthy as a process, not "all-or-nothing".
ReplyDeleteI had a "bad" week, too. I suggest focusing on the big picture and all those tiny victories, such as buying Laughing Cow cheese instead of regular. Thankfully, every meal is a new chance to make some healthy choices.
P.S. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this blog. It's honest and real. Keep up the posts!
