Hope makes all the difference. I'm a little hungry today, but it's okay, because I COULD, if I wanted to, eat anything I wanted---I have the calories saved up. But I don't want to. I want to eat in the wildcat room on Monday, and I want to eat Pizza on Friday and I really feel as though I CAN and it will be all right. I'll be able to easily save up 1,000 for Monday even though I can't work out extra tonight because I have to go to SLC. I had wellness time at work so I at least earned 150. Tomorrow and Saturday I'll be able to get what I need for the 1000. Then for Friday, whatever I earn on Friday will be used that day for PIZZA!! YAY! I spoken many times about "exceptions" I swear, they happen almost daily---but I finally feel as though I have an effective way to deal with them.
Best of all, even if I don't lose weight, I still feel as though I'm doing my body good. After all, all this effort is at least preventing me from gaining weight very fast. But I think I am and will lose weight this way. Feeling a bit hungry usually means that I'm losing weight. Today I've had fun food---somehow those delicious enchiladas that Catherine made just don't sound all that great--I think it's the tortilla---maybe I'll throw out the tortilla and have them with fresh homemade corn chips tomorrow instead. That sounds much better.
Today, I had a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, a banana and milk. Then for lunch I had--31 gorgonzola crackers from Trader Joe's, 6 olives, 2 string cheeses, 6 slices of ham, a cup of soup and best of all, one of those reeses peanut butter eggs.
Dinner will be great too. I only earned $5.25 in March. I gave Catherine the cash and told her to buy me a treat. She did great! Fancy bread and brie. That will be dinner tonight!!
Tomorrow is ice-cream diet day. Classic quack diet stupidity. No way I'd want to do this for more than a day, but I'm looking forward to it tomorrow, because the butter-pecan ice-cream has been in the fridge since Saturday. SO---1200 cal, then a big dish of ice-cream. I'm thinking of an egg-white omelete and some light toast for breakfast--that's going to be under 200, then I've already planned for stuffed portobello's for dinner--I think I can add either some spaghetti squash, or cabbage salad or both for practically nothing. That will leave me quite a bit to have a satisfying lunch. I'm thinking it will be ok to have a light dinner because the ice-cream will shortly follow and that will fill me up both in body and spirit. You simply can't fool the body. All these websites that talk about how much brocolli you can have for almost nothing? True. But if you tried to fool yourself by eating 6 cups of brocolli for lunch and nothing else, your body would know that it hadn't had enough calories and would complain. At least mine would.
Anyway, then it's Friday with hopefully good weather so I can go hiking, then a nice pizza dinner.
This is tough. But it's a tough I can tolerate. I've decided that finding a plan to deal with obesity is the same as finding any other medication to help any other disease. You simply have to figure out what the patient can tolerate.
