Diet blues

[lizzybennet]

I am still sticking to the new healthy life style, but I am really starting to mourn the loss of my old one. It takes a lot of extra work to cook healthy for every meal! Also, finding time to exercise on a regular basis is a real challenge. For example, last night I went to Jazzercise which meets from 5:45 to 6:45 pm. I got home around 7. Zack still had home work to do, Pete was in desperate need of a bath and Connor was just begging for attention. Plus, I still had dinner to make! I did cook the healthy meal I had planned, but I didn't get to eat it until after Connor was asleep and Pete had his bath. Then I helped Zack do his homework while I ate. That went badly too, because he is a perfectionist when it comes to homework. He gets quite frustrated if his drawings don't look like he wants them to. Needless to say, I really felt like giving up last night and tearing into the bag of mini snickers I had bought for the kids easter baskets. However, I didn't have to because sweet Chris went out and got me some low fat ice cream bars (I think they were weight watchers. It was wonderful.)

Also, I have over-booked myself for this week. I signed up to help with the Book Fair at Zack's school and it is taking up a large amount of my time. I haven't gotten to do any school work and I have stuff due soon. I'm babysitting this afternoon, so the house will soon be trashed. I wish I could just take a nap. Maybe that is what I will do right now, since the other kids don't get here for a couple hours. Everything else can wait while I attempt to regain my sanity.

I'm really proud of you that you didn't give in to the stress-eating! That's totally fantastic!

Don't worry too much. Eat a bowl of real ice cream. Your body will crave some kind of fat. Drink milk. You don't or shouldn't lose too much weight too fast. Just cut out the candy, chips, and soda if you dare, and cut down on the bread. If you lose 2 lbs in a month, that is perfect and it will mean that your diet has gotten healthier instead of you just starving yourself.
I am right with you. Ate a zinger last night and now I am going to beat up the Dolly Madison CEO for it. Someone has to pay besides me.
My goal is to lose five pounds this month. That is high but if I get close its all good.
