Today has been beyond challenging. I literally feel like I'm having withdrawals from junk food. The cravings are so strong that my skin feels like it's crawling for something salty, possibly followed by something sweet. And usually this demand for food is about quantity, long sustained snacking is what seems to quiet this ravenous urge. With that said I have been determined to stay within points and remember not to trash the whole day because Wednesday morning when I step on that scale I will be devastated to not see results this early in the weight loss process.
Good news though... I have ended the day using exactly all of my points. I did not go over by even one. I do not feel guilty, but am upset to have thought about food every second of the day today. I was busy with work, busy with my son and even went to the gym, but the entire day my mind has been consumed by thoughts of what am I going to eat next and when? My food journal reflects this because I used more points for snacking today than any other meal! Almost half of my day went to snacking points.
When I have days like this I get scared and nervous about my future in regards to when I loose the weight, will I keep it off? All I know is that it's going to take awhile to drop these pounds and hopefully by the time I'm ready to maintain I will be in a better food place mentally. For now, I'm taking it one meal to the next.
Sister2 I totally understand what you are feeling. That is how I felt the other day. Your right just try and stay with your points (even if its snacks) and you won't be sorry come Wednesday morning. Just remember to drink water, water, and more water.
