Struggling
Friday, March 2nd 2007
Yesterday was a really difficult day. This whole week has been so busy with my husband gone. I've been doing well with food and exercise until yesterday afternoon. It was like something came over me and I just had to have junk food. I really wanted candy, but there was none in the house, thank goodness. So I had just gotten a gluten free cake mix in the mail and made cupcakes. Plan was to have 2 and freeze the rest. Didn't happen. I had 7. Seven!! I'm so embarassed to even admit that. ...Preplanning

I did much better today. I think the key was preplanning my meals. I was resistant to do this because when I've tried that in the past, I felt so deprived. But with this program I can plan some treats in and make sure I have room for them and not feel so deprived. I went shopping today and bought some sugar free foods. I'm going to see how that goes for me, I just don't want to eat too much artificial sweetner. But I'm hoping I will feel more satisfied and not crave more.Hubby is out o...
Missing targets
Saturday, February 24th 2007
I keep going over my calorie targets. It's so frustrating. Yesterday I did really well until I had a bunch of honey roasted peanuts. Had too many-those are addicting. It's that sugar again. I need to stay away from it or only have it in controlled portions. Today I had cookies at my MIL's and then when I got home the boys had made popcorn-the fattening kind with tons of oil and butter. I had too much of that because I was really hungry. I tried so hard to do well the rest of the day and ...Yea! No candy day!

Alright! I did it! Day 1 of my no candy campaign went well. Went to my mother in laws and did not grab a mini snickers or the peanut butter cookies she made for us. Also told her we don't need them at home because Collin and Chris won't eat them and guess who would eat them all. And those little bugars are at least 5 grams of fat per cookie!One thing I did have trouble with today-I was hungry. I didn't make dinner tonight since I had school. I ate a protein bar on the way and had an ap...
One last hurrah?

I have decided to give up sugar since it is so addictive for me. I have some and it is never enough. I just crave more and more and more. So I'm starting with candy since that is most troublesome for me. Starting tomorrow, candy does not exist for me anymore. So today, to get ready for that, did I throw out the remaining candy in my house? No, of course not. I ate all of it. All of it!
For heaven's sake. It's like 2,000 calories from the candy alone. Not going to log that one. Jus...
