So was I still up to 268 when I went to exercise today and I felt so discouraged. I was also frustrated and in a hormonal mood, which made things not pretty. I ate the rest of the m and ms, then ate a burrito from taco bell and 3 pieces of pizza from little ceasars. Then tonight I ate 5 crab wontons, a spring roll, two cookies, and two small pieces of cake at Chinese Gourmet, oh, and some root beer float. (Levi liked it so much he ate most of it).
I really want to quit weighing myself every day, instead doing it once a week at most. I want to keep my focus on feeling good and taking good care of my body. I think I know that carbs have given me high blood pressure, insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome, and obesity and could give me serious heart problems. I don't want to have those problems anymore, no matter what my weight is or the shape of my body. I like having more energy and being able to "run" and roll and wrestle with Levi and Ivy. I like climbing on the swingset at the park. I like being less self conscious when I go places. I like having a smaller belly to haul around. I like moving more freely and exercising without losing my breath. I like easily climbing the stairs. All of that I've gained since January makes me very grateful and happy. Wearing smaller clothes is also nice; alone it is not enough. I want to focus on all of the other benefits that I get from eating foods that are good for me. I'm praying for god to continue to teach me and guide me to learn all I can about how foods affect my body. Tonight I started listening to a book about belly fat called Lose the wheat, Love the weight and find your way back to health. The author, a doctor, posits that wheat alone is the greatest cause of obesity and the entire metabolic syndrome problem. I wonder if that is true. I want to find a food plan that I can live with for the rest of my life; it would be wonderful if it could actually include some carbs and sweets that I could eat in moderation.
My next step is to make an appointment with my doctor to talk about what I'm doing and to have blood work done to see if my cholesterol, hdl, and ldl are moving closer to healthy levels. That will tell me a lot about the food plan I'm on.
