Well, tonight did NOT go well…I had well laid plans, but then they brought over pizza…didn’t eat it at first, but then I got hungry…and that’s when i have trouble, when I’m genuinely hungry. Here’s one for you calorie counter, Laura– and you were so right about not making cookies, but did I listen? No, I thought I could handle it. Boy, was I wrong. This just shows me that i definitely do still have a food addiction there. It’s kind of scary, really, since I really thought I’d come a long way in mastering the art of portion control, even if I was cheating. I think I’ve been leading up to a problem lately, and this was definitely it!
Breakfast: MRC cheesecake, HNS
Lunch: bar, HNS
Dinner: 3.5 pieces mad mushruoom sausage pizza (didn’t eat crusts), 1 piece cheesy bread (no crust), 6 (yes, SIX!!) chocolate chip cookies (they were small, at least– 80 calories each).
I completely lost control, and I feel so awful about it now (not overstuffed awful, just totally regretting it). On top of that, we were trying on costumes, and I was having some major difficulty with the belt and realized that I am about the same size as a friend who I thought was bigger than me– I suppose that shouldn’t bother me a great deal, but it does kind of make me feel fatter. This has just not been a good day. So, the plan for tomorrow is to start fresh, get on the treadmill so I at least burn a bit of it off, make a good plan for the rest of the day and the coming week, and hope that it doesn’t slow me down too much. Starting Monday I’m going to do the metaquick plan (shake for breakfast, bar for lunch, normal MRC dinner), which is supposed to speed up the process a bit, so hopefully that will help. I’m just hoping I’m not too hungry on it, because, again, that’s when I have my worst problems. Talk about a bad week– slow scale and two major cheats– yikes! I’m sure I’ll be seeing the results of my little indiscretion on the scale tomorrow morning…
weight at home (before the big pizza catastrophe): 188.5

First, your weight for this morning was good - you’ve gone down 2 pounds in the last couple days. I definitely understand the losing control thing. I mean, you’ve been avoiding these foods for so long, and you were hungry, and discouraged from not losing as quickly as you thought you should. Everyone has a day like that at times, but it won’t derail your weight loss. The key is not let this mistake turn into 20 more. That is the one thing that will make this weight loss successful where all the other attempts have not been. And I put your menu in my calorie counter and: your total calories for the day if you had eaten the crusts (which did save you a lot of calories, btw) is 2075. You didn’t even eat enough to gain an ounce of fat. You still had a caloric deficit. And, I think I would have struggled to only eat 6 small cookies! Can’t wait to hear how the rest of the weekend went.
