Today was a difficult day for sticking to my calories. First, I was very hungry after doing 20 or so minutes of yoga this morning, and I remained hungry for the rest of the day. Second, I had lunch out with a friend, and even with my healthy choice of sandwich (whole wheat wrap with hummus, lettuce, tomato, avocado, swiss cheese, and pepperoncini) and complete abstention from the accompanying potato chips, my lunch had a lot more calories (650) than I'd normally allot to one meal. (Next time, I'll ask for no cheese since I could hardly taste it anyway.) Third, I ate a package of Twizzlers, which I remembered as a decent diet food, but turned out to be very low in fat but high in calories. An they weren't even good! And fourth, my boyfriend is away all this week. After he called to say he could only talk for a minute, I of course turned to the remaining treats in my house to make myself feel better. (Emotional eating at its finest.)
It came together in a perfect storm! Since the BF is coming home this weekend and I'm having a friend over for dinner Friday night, I've been trying to stay below my allotment this week. But it's not working all that well, which is another source of frustration.
One thing to look forward to is the arrival of my new scale--the first I'v ever owned, which I think may be a sign that I'm in this diet for serious now. In the past I've eschewed weighing myself at home, instead using my sister's or the doctor's scale when I for some reason wanted to keep track. I'm excited because now I will get to see progress, and also find out how much I in fact weigh. The weight I entered when I joined FS was a guess--it's a number I've been at before, and makes sense given which parts of my wardrobe fit and which don't. But I also think it may in fact be a little high, which would be good, on the one hand, but also potentially bad since I may have to lower my calorie count even further.
Nonetheless, no turning back now!
