MOUGHI's CalorieKing blog
Tuesday, Sep 9 2008 - off to see my dietitian
View MOUGHI's food & exercise for this day
Today I go see my dietitian in hopes to get some answers that I need about my diet and motivation. Ann got me started on my journey some months ago and has always steered me back on course when ever I got off. I have some questions about plateaus and eating protein, exercise calories, and a few how to count this and that stuff that she could help me out with. She also is a lot of fun just to sit down and talk to. I am looking forward to my visit with her and will come back to this blog and share with you all what I gleamed from our visit.
I have been off my caloric intake these past few weeks so I can't say I am in a plateau. I can say I am just not following a weight loss diet very well, but I am maintaining well. I have to decided if I want to really lose those last 15-20 pounds or stay where I am. I hope Ann can help me with this answer too. Yes, my body technically does have that much more weight on it to lose and the more I get off the better my back would feel. So, it would be beneficial for my health if I did lose those last few pounds, but mentally I just haven't been able to push myself to do it, nor do I want to stay on a lower caloric intake to maintain it for the rest of my life. The question is, can I go back to eating 14oo calories like I am now after losing those 15 pounds ? Then I would consider going ahead and losing them. This will be a question I am going to ask my dietitian as well as you all. I have looked up my maintenance calories and I think I can eat that much if I get down to that weight, but I want to make sure. Got to go. Talk to everyone latter.
IKE BLOW AWAY FROM ME>>>>>>>>>>
I promised everyone I will tell you what Ann had to say, and I will in tomorrow's blog. When I got home, hubby wanted to watch a new TV show together so I spent time with tonight. It was a fun sci-fi type x-file type show. Tomorrow I will a series on some of the things I learned. Latter.

It is OK to take some time to decide your next step. You will find what is right for you. I'm glad you will share your dietition's input.

I certainly understand how you're feeling. Sometimes I think we just have to relax into that feeling for a bit. I find that I get into that "I don't want to eat 1400 calories mode" and I'm resisting it so bad that I just beat myself up more. "Why am I not motivated?!" I hope you can just relax and release it a bit and I'm sure you'll find the answer. Now if I can just listen to my own advice and do the same thing!
:laugh5: I'll be interested to hear what Ann has to say!

It is such a mental game when we get to feeling good about ourselves -- you had yourself all worked up for a specific goal, which you met, so now, you just need something to focus on to get you the rest of the way there. Look at all you have accomplished, getting off medicine, losing the weight, conquering the exercise demonds -- you have done awesome. I will be interested in hearing what Ann says, too!
