Okay, everybody, I need to talk about this and settle back down . . .
Ttoday was my first P3 weigh in and I am up 2. I'm trying to keep perspective and all of that, but I would not be honest if I said I was just going right along.
I am worried that these breakfasts are already too much for me and that I will be stuck in a phase 2 1/2 existence if I want to maintain. I know it is too early to know that. I know this could be water retention or glycogen stores or just one of those weeks . . . but this was a really bad week for this to happen. I have been feeling "guilty" about the breakfasts as it is, like I'm overeating. And, my husband and son will be out of town all next week. I am afraid about being home alone all week . . . that used to be a big eating event for me. I could have really used a good weigh in to bounce off of next week.
So, I wanted to put this out there and retrieve any feedback you might offer. I am worried now about having jicama for lunch. On the other hand, I should be able to have jicama. Right? It's unrestricted. I keep thinking, "That's it, nothing but cucumbers this week." But this is the kind of extremist thinking that has gotten me into trouble in the past.
I have trouble -- and, in fact, have never experienced, maintaining a healthy diet AND enjoying my food at the same time. I don't want to live in deprivation forever -- nor do I think it is possible.
