Thank you all for your encouragement. I don't think anyone was giving me a hard time, but just trying to be helpful. I felt the need to let everyone know that I mean no offense and have respect for other people's choices. Just because I choose one route doesn't mean I'm trying to talk others into the same route.
I am still having a difficult time getting my exercise in. I was a lazy bum over the weekend and spent a lot of time sleeping. I tend to burn the candle at both ends during the week and catch up on weekends with my sleep. I need to change that habit because if I am tired it tends to make me want to snack and that is not a good idea.
I've also noticed in the past 2-3 days that staying on the 1500 calorie diet is more difficult. I've been positive and towing the line, but it hasn't been easy. I am actually getting hungar pangs, so when that happens I eat something, but try to choose something healthy. I don't keep anything not healthy in my home, so that is good. I've gone to the refridgerator several times to see if there was something to eat and there was nothing, so I went back to bed frustrated. I'm really glad I had nothing that I wanted in my fridge or pantry. In this situation, I would tell myself--"Julie, you don't need or want anything anyway." I felt like an alcoholic looking for a drink. I guess in a way I am an addict looking for my drug of choice--sugar. It's good that I cleared my home of all of it. I guess I was a tad bit depressed over the weekend. I'm not sure why. Maybe I should have forced myself to get the house cleaned and paint the ceiling in my basement? I had a leak in my bathroom months ago that was fixed, but it ruined my ceiling in the downstairs bedroom, so I tore it out and had it replaced. It still needs painting and the room needs to be put back together. I should have worked on that over the weekend to keep me busy. I think I would have felt better if I could have got something done. Oh, well, I'll do that this week. Tonight is my weight loss surgery support group meeting.
