Well, I'm hungry. Yes, I am hungry. I am having a steak for dinner tonight. Yes I am. With baked sweet potatoes though instead of regular baked. I had a chef salad for lunch again -- it was good, but I'm about rabbit fooded out for today. I'll be careful with the butter on my potatoes, and I will only eat half the steak (although I already journaled the whole thing, so if I do eat it all I still won't go over). Eating right is hard. Changing habits is hard. I know this -- I've broken bad habits before, and eating is just another one to break. But boy, it's hard! As someone said, quitting smoking was really hard, but at least I could throw the things away and stay away from them. I imagine alcohol is much the same. But you still have to eat, even when you are trying to lose weight. How much, what, and how much exercise you get (and your age, metabolism, etc.) are all factors, I know. But the fact is, you still gotta eat. As hard as quitting smoking was, as long as I didn't pick up a cigarette I was OK. This food thing is completely different. And what's funny? Up until I was 42, I weighed 93 lbs. After having my child. I left the hospital at like 95 and went back down to 93 and stayed there another 12 years. The doctor was giving me B12 shots, etc., and encouraging me to eat like a pig to gain weight. Well, at 42 I quit smoking (failed but quit for a couple of years) and had a hysterectomy. Yes, then the weight started to come on. But it hasn't stopped! I never learned how to eat well .. . I never had to. At first the weight gain was welcomed, but it most certainly isn't welcome now! So, mind set has to be the first thing I change, and I'm really working on that. And no I haven't weighed. I will weigh next week. I don't want to be a slave to those scales.
