Weigh In 3

So this morning was Weigh In 3. I wasn't so sure how that would go because I am still struggling to change the habits I've had for so long.

But, the good new is I am down two pounds from last week. Last week I was at 298. This week I am at 296. It isn't as much as I would like but I really can't complain given I've messed up.

Hopefully next week its doubled and I am down another four pounds or more. I am still in the beginning phases of weight loss and so I may lose more rapidly and because I have so much to lose it isn't uncommon to lose more.

Well, that's all for now,

Weigh In 1 & 2

So I haven't posted since last week which isn't so much of a good thing because I think it could have pulled me through some times I made the wrong meal choices.

I needed to post last Thursday for my first weigh in.

For the first week I lost 5 lbs. My starting weight was 300 and I dropped to 295.

This last week which is the second week didn't go well. Gah, why do I have to like bad food so much? LOL

I am up 3 lbs this week and weighing in at 298. Today is the start of a week and I need to get my act together and stop making excuses!!

I've got my bars packed and ready to go for the day. No going of course. I can do this! I will do this!

That's all for now,

Adjusting...

Well it is 7 am, an hour before I am supposed to eat and I feel like I am starving. I am adjusting to a new way of eating and not taking in as much as I was which was enough for two people. I've got to get through this. This is one of those times I probably would have stopped in the morning and picked up breakfast but I won't do it!!!

I'm going t stay on track. Its imperative to reach my goal.

Up until now I haven't said what my goal weight is. Ultimately, I would like to be around 150 lbs. That's half my current weight. Crazy, huh?

I am starting with a smaller goal and will continue to make goals along the way to reach the 150 I am shooting for. Right now, my goal is 40 lbs by the end of this 12 weeks. If I lose 60 I will be ecstatic.

Tomorrow is weigh in day so we will see what the scale says for my first week. While I am not expecting much because of my major flubs over the weekend I will be interested to see what the scale says.

That's all for now,

Looking up..

Well I made it through the day unscathed.

I had my four bars (two meal bars and two snack bars) and just ate dinner.

Dinner wasn't so much on course as I would like to be but today really was a good day on the diet.

I had a homemade pulled pork sandwich and a small handful of potato chips. Not the lean and green I was going for but that's what was made and that's what I ate. For what I did eat, my portions were in check. For those that know me this is a huge deal because portion control is one of my down falls.

Well...

That's all for now,

Wanting to eat.. And feeling lame.

If you read my first post you saw that the way I was eating was outrageous to put it nicely. Way too much food is what it was.

Well this plan I'm on until late August is very different than how I was eating and my body is adjusting. During this period of adjustment I have felt hungry on more than one occasion and I feel pretty lame that I want to eat real food. When I say real food I guess I mean my favorite foods that got me to my overweight state in the first place.

I am eating real food. Its just hard because this transition is tough. I do not do my actual weigh in until Thursday but given my serious flop over the entire weekend I weighed myself this morning to see I was down three pounds putting me at a weight of 297. Gross, huh? That should be motivation enough to stop eating crap.

That's all for now,

Yesterday was a flop.. Lame I know..

Yesterday was a super flop. Not only did I eat my dinner meal for lunch which was totally off and not right, I ended up having salad for dinner. Don't get me wrong, salad isn't bad but I was supposed to have a meal bar because of my lunch flub. Also, the salad had things in it I should have avoided but didn't.

I only drank about 40 oz. of water yesterday. My goal is around 75. I think the amount of water I drank on day one helped to tide me over.

And if that wasn't all, somehow I let myself have an ice cream cone. So, so lame.

I need to let outside influences stop getting to me. As selfish as it sounds this is about me and only me.

Today is a new day and I will be back on track, eat what I'm supposed to and hop back on the train to the NEW ME.

That's all for now,

Already going down hill...

So it became apparent to me yesterday that I am an emotional eater.

I feel like things hit the fan with a friend and I don't know if our friendship will ever be the same. That's what I get for making a comment I thought was funny. Next time I will just keep my mouth shut.

After all the stuff with my friend, I wanted to eat my favorite foods. It made my stomach hurt.

So... I ended up eating my dinner meal for lunch and will have my meal bar for dinner which is fine given its Friday and that tends to be "Fend For Yourself Night".

My portions were not right and I ended up having extra carbs that I shouldn't have had but I will get back on track. I failed this meal but I will start over.

How lame is it that on day two I flubbed? I really suck I suppose.

After this, it is clear to me that I MUST do something other than eating when my emotions run high.

That's all for now,
