alllicat's Journal, 09 August 2010

I am in no mood. TOM is here and making me cranky as heck. My weight is up. Probably because I ate Pop Chips for every meal on Saturday, and drank my weight in vodka Friday night (friends took me out for my birthday).

This week was going to be my "get back on track" week, and now TOM is here, and that's not going to happen. I can eat right and watch what I eat, but exercising is out, at least until Thursday. My cramps are seriously killer, and I hate to take too many pain killers throughout the day. So usually I will take it to get through the work day, but I suffer through it at night. Between the heating pads, and the advil I can make it, but I get weird cramps in my ankles, which makes going out for a run or a walk an impossibility.

I'm not recording my gain, but I'll own up to it. I'm at 136.4 this morning, which is only a pound up. I would like to see 133, again by Labor Day weekend. I know setting goals like that is bad, but it'll just make me happy. That's like 4lbs in 4 weeks, I think I could rock that out.

I have 15 pounds to go, I'm going to try to not stress about it. We have this Biggest Loser Competition happening at work, that I'm the organizer of, so I'm just going to strive for 1 pound a week during that competition. That should get me under 130, and then I can honestly say that I'll be at my lowest weight in probably 13 years.

Something that has been bothering me, last night I was at the Supermarket, and I NEEDED ice cream! (I got the Splenda kind, so only 120 calories per serving, and I measure that serving!) And there was a young girl in the frozen food section with her father. She was pitching a FIT because he didn't want to buy her ice cream. I'm sorry to report, that this girl at the age of I'd say between the ages of 9 and 11, and she weighed more than I did. It broke my heart. Is it the girl's responsibility or is the the parents? I didn't know what to be more mad at. And when I was checking out, I saw them buying, not one, but 5 cartons of ice cream, and she was sipping on a 20 oz bottle of Coke.

I think there needs to be more education about healthy eating habits utilized in our schools. Unfortunately, I live in NJ where we can barely keep TEACHERS in the schools. Le sigh.

I just don't think people see what people outside of the family see. I never went without either, I still don't. My mom bargain shopped, and couponed and got everything we wanted for us. But at the same time, if there was something that I wanted, but didn't neccessarily NEED, that was when she said no to me. When at 9 years old, your daughter is roughly 150 pounds, I'm sorry, but 5 gallons of ice cream to appease her isn't neccessary.

Sorry to hear you are struggling with TOM pains. I remember those days and I do not miss them at all!!! I see those sorts of things in grocery store lines ALL THE TIME. Soda, candy, ice-cream ... whether your kiddo is overweight or not, seriously how much sugar do they need and is it really a healthy parenting strategy to stuff your cranky toddler's mouth with M & M's just to shut them up??? Of course I don't say anything. I grew up eating very 'unhealthy' but seriously, my parents didn't know. They didn't know and my mom grew up with very little so she, like Glen's mom always made sure we had 'enough'. I grew up on sugar, simple carbs ... didn't know there were other vegetables other than green beans and corn (from a can of course!!). I'm not sure what the answer is. Fast food rules. Quick and easy and most of it has high fructose corn syrup in it. It is sad.
