This is the ninety fourth day in my life without food.
A half a pound a day weight loss is what I am averaging so far during "the project". The scale said 2.6 down this week. I'm happy.
In past experiences I would have given up by now having gotten on and off the wagon numerous times. This time I am cutting myself a little more slack and I start every day over. Yesterday was a good day or it wasn't but as long as I refocus everyday I am still taking in far fewer calories than I was before I started this endeavor.
What I learned in fat class: Did you know that if you weigh 150 pounds you have to take in 1500 calories a day to maintain that weight. To lose weight simply take in less than 1500 calories. Wow I was taking in a lot of calories before I started, no wonder I was fat. I see protein drinks in my future for a very long time, they are nutritious an easy way to keep the calories down. Too bad they don't come in a bacon flavor.
I survived the last few days without one tortilla chip or Oreo cookie at the office. Even though I would walk by people standing around eating the chips and they smelled so good, the chips not the people. I am pretty good as long as I don't have the first one. Past experience in dealing with stressful situations would have me grab a handful of chips and say fuck it. I had an extra shake instead, boring but it works. UGH!
Today will be a good day or it won't. I can't control that but as long as I don't have the first chip I'll be fine. Wish me luck.
"Bacon Flavored" protein shakes... You may have just stumbled upon your million dollar idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm exactly the same way. If I don't have the first one (cookie, chip, donut - ahem - glass of wine) I'm good, but as soon as that first taste crosses my lips, I'm sunk.
Keep up the good work! You're doing great!
