I often find myself walking through the grocery store ogling over all the things I really should not be eating. When I first started my diet looking at these things made me feel kinda sick. But now that I haven't had them in so long they just look so yummy!
I really wish I could have some...
French Fries...
or a burger...
or a few donuts...
or some fried chicken!...
I could die for some Hershey's Kiss' right about now!
or even some chips!...
And don't get me started on what I would do for some fried coconut shrimp!
Anywayssss! lol You get the picture! I miss just about everything that is super unhealthy!
Now for a diet update:
These last few days have been a bit rocky. It all started on Saturday when Anthony, Bear and I got invited to my uncle's house for dinner. I of coarse could not count calories at a dinner party! So I over ate. But hoped it would be okay because I did walk 5 miles that morning, but when we got home both Anthony and I were both CRAVING strawberry cheesecake... so we broke down and bought one. And I ate two pieces :O and another piece the next day as well. I did walk 4 miles on Sunday as well, but I still don't think that was enough to make up for the extra calories I did eat. I also ran out of cream cheese and apple sauce and have not yet made it to the store. So my lunches have been kinda off. Yesterday I had 8 fish sticks and some horseradish. That was a little over 300 calories so not too bad but kinda high for lunch. Today I had an okay lunch, instead of the cream cheese and jam sandwich I had a piece of fat free turkey with one piece of toast and jam with another piece of toast, the calories for that should be right where they should be or even maybe less. And now that I think of it, on Friday I seriously over ate at dinner as well. Anthony bought a very unhealthy Publix sub, I had about 1/4 of it and then later on in the evening I felt hungry again so I had about 250 calories worth of pasta (EEP!).
I have been thinking about it and I know I am not fat and it would not hurt to just stop dieting as long as I did not gain weight. But I really do not want to stay at 125 lbs it's just not me and I definitely want to be back to my normal self before I re-do my wardrobe! (which won't be until Anthony and I have a lot of money coming in so that may not be for like a whole year from now).
I think mainly it has to do with sticking to my guns. Proving to myself that I CAN do this! That I am not a quitter or a failure. I guess at the end of the day a little extra cheesecake isn't that big of a deal so long as I stick to the plan for the most part.
I still have not weighed myself but I do not feel like I lost any weight at all because my pants have not gotten looser. If I do not see any results by July, I guess I will have to make a new diet plan :O I hope to have lost about 6 lbs by now and be at around 119 but I somehow do not think that is the case... maybe I will venture to Publix tomorrow and hop on the scale when Anthony isn't looking <.<
If there's one thing I'm trying really REALLY hard to remember this time around: I can't deprive myself. If I want ice cream I'll have some ... but I'll track every last little bit of it. (myfitnesspal.com is amazingly helpful AND free AND an app on my phone as well as the website)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips. I am just counting calories for the day trying to keep them under 828, I thought this was not working but I just found out on Saturday that I lost 5 lbs last week! I have actually thought about the whole depriving thing and I think you are right. What is a little fatty food here and there going to hurt? As long as you don't go over board you should be fine (everything in moderation right?). I did splurge yesterday and have a doughnut and some fried chicken but only one piece of each where as before I would have eaten a lot more.
