So, I've been good and not weighed myself for the last few days. I'm anxious to see what the scale says tomorrow. I've been doing well with temptation. Last night I went to play bunco and I didn't eat any of the candy or cookies or other delicious looking food that was available. I just had 2 glasses of water. This morning I watched as my husband ate 2 large cinnamon rolls right in front of me during class and I will say that they looked delicious. There is still a part of me that wants to eat the sweet and fatty foods that I see all around me. Sometimes I even sniff them just to be able to scratch my itch and I wouldn't say that fulfills my desire but I've been much stronger than ever before and have not cheated once.
I am getting bored of the foods I can eat and I know that I'm nearing the halfway point so I am pretty sure I can make it. I just hate having to cook and then having to eat that same flavored food each day either for lunch or for dinner. I'm craving other meats and proteins such as tofu or salmon. I'd kill for sushi or ramen (not the instant kind). I also miss pasta and pizza and fondue.
This weekend I'm going to go to a butcher shop and see if I can get some other meat options for a decent price. Chicken and steak are now over rated! I'm also going to experiment with some other vegetables. I might make zucchini "pasta" with sauce just to have something different for a side dish.
I really hope that I've lost more weight and inches this week. Because if I haven't I will be super disappointed and will be wondering if all this sacrifice was worth it. I do feel like it's a sacrifice because I'm a foody and I've given up delicious foods and new experiences with food just to try to lose weight. And if this doesn't work, I may have to really look into my body chemistry because so far regular diet and exercise, atkins, south beach, never worked after the first 2 weeks. It's not like I normally eat badly but I do have a sweet tooth.
Well, I think I've ranted enough. I will let you know how tomorrow goes. Its another official weight in day and I am hoping for good news. I've done everything right this week just like I have for the last 3 weeks so numerically things have to be lower, but my body never follows what it's supposed to do.
