I'm not gonna lie to you. It's been rough. Tuesday was the worst by far. I had my first appointment and was all grouchy and unmotivated. I think I may have even scared my counselor, lol. BUT, I got my mint chocolate crunch bars and suddenly my world was awesome again. Yall know how much I like mint chocolate things.... and now, I can eat mint chocolate things (well, only the flavored diet bars) FIVE TIMES A DAY. Yummers. I'm a much happier girl.
That alone helped me get through a crummy meeting-filled Wednesday (where there were tiny "does this really count?" candy bar bites all over the tables waiting for me to just rip them all open and chow down...but I refrained.) and yesterday was a little harder cuz we had friends over who got to eat pizza....in front of me.....while I made my stupid weird hamburger patty without any bread and had to measure my ketchup.... Yeah, I felt pretty lame. But I didn't eat any pizza, and that's the important thing.
Today was surprisingly easy. I wasn't even interested in the in-service candy or going out to lunch, and I kept pretty busy finishing up my room at school that I don't even remember thinking about food until that 2.5 hour hunger pang came around. Someone once told me that it takes 21 days to make a habit and 7 to break it. Maybe I'm breaking my 3 meals a day habit WHILE I'm making the 6 meals a day habit... Anybody know if that's possible/probable?
Anyway, my second appointment went really well. I did another keytone test and I got a big "WOW! People would KILL to have a test result like that!" so I guess it was good? I'm not really sure what all of the stuff they test for means, but that one is supposed to test how much fat I'm burning and I guess it's a lot from what they told me.
One of my teacher friends put it perfectly: Dieting is lonely.
So true. But it will totally be worth it when I'm trim and fit and eating right. As a side note, I was getting my blood pressure taken and noticed a chart on the wall... it said for my height, 180 qualifies as obese. Insert mega eye-opener here. I was at 177 in May. Yikes. I knew I was heavier than I should be, but I didn't realize how close I was to that "classification." I'm glad I'm taking care of it now though, while I'm young and (mostly) healthy than after it causes more problems than I can control.
I weighed in this morning (Day 6) at 164.4. Over 6 and a half pounds down, 26 to go. They said the first week was the hardest... let's hope so cuz its OVER!
