If my diet were made up of “food
replacements” then when I get down to 145 lbs I would stop eating them, and go
back to eating my normal food. Then I would just get fat again. If I were to
get mail order foods I would not learn how to cook those foods myself, and the
same thing would happen. If I were to say No this, or No that, I would want it
more and fail.
I have committed to this, and I
will commit every morning when I get up to keep it up. I know it’s not going to
happen overnight. It took 9 months to put on 40 lbs, and about another year to
put on another 50 lbs. I expect it to take that long or longer to get it off in
a healthy way.
Eat Right + Exercise + Sensible
Lifestyle Habits = A HEALTHY WEIGHT
I know changes are happening in my
body. This week has been a sick week because of that. And I believe my body
will get over all this soon and I will feel better. My head still hurts, and food
is not sounding very good. I can eat, but if I take one bite more than I need, I
start to feel sick. I don’t know why, I just know this is what is happening. As
long as I’m still eating I’m fine.
This book I found will be my work
book. I started reading it and I like it, it is very interactive. I got out a pencil
and did the starting chapter. There is a list of healthy eating habits and you
check the boxes if you plan on doing that thing, and shade it in if you already
do it. There are a lot of checks and a few shaded in. This book is totally for
me, and so far is says the same thing I have been saying. Not to say no more,
to say less. Make trades with myself. If I was the ice cream I can trade
another food, or workout more that day. (Not that I eat ice cream a lot, maybe
2 times a week. Is that a lot?)
I’m also learning new things. Like
eating at least 8 fiber foods will help regulate my blood sugar. I’m doing good
at limiting high fat foods like butter, mayo, ranch, dips and chips, fast food,
and things like that. I still need to work on not frying foods, I use olive
oil, but using the broiler would be best. I just need the right pan. I also need to work on not getting the boxed
snacks, diet or not. They have a lot of crap in them. It would be better to
just make something myself. Maybe diet homemade cookies? I will see what I can find.
After I stop being sick I will look
into adding 2-3 days a week with strength training. I need to not let being
sick become a reason to stop moving forward. I have missed a lot of walking
this week because my head hurts too much. But I know it will stop, and I try to
move around the house still. And I have walked, but not 2 miles every day. But its
not because I don’t want to, it’s because I’m not feeling well. So I’m not
going to be upset at myself. I will stop here, I need to lay down.
I'm proud of you! Find what works best for you and stick with it. I believe if I can lose weight and get my life back, that you can and you will!
