I've been working a LOT (it was a long weekend, I was in the office ALL weekend) and the stress has made it difficult to eat. A strange phenomenon as stress has always made me eat, but now that I've cut out most bread and processed food it doesn't happen anymore. Maybe carb cravings flare up in times of stress when you're used to ingesting a lot of them. I do cook an adequate amount of calories but it's been hard to eat them. Maybe I'll prepare a larger amount of calories (using more fat, nuts, etc) and see if that gets me closer to 1200 today. It's hard to think about/plan food when I don't have a lot of money currently and I've got a to-do list a mile long, but I'm glad it hasn't led me to any poor choices. Weight is still going down at a staggered pace. Usually I hit a low, and it stays exactly there for about a week and then a sudden 2 pound loss. 2 pounds a week works for me, but these 10 are coming off much slower than the first 10. That's to be expected I suppose!
I found out my wonderful boyfriend of two years, who I love more than anyone ever, is supposed to be on blood pressure meds but he doesn't take them because they make him feel 'weird'. He says he takes them when its close to a doctor's appointment and that's it. He's 6'7" and over 400 pounds, and though I feel that's probably unhealthy (especially if at 29 he has to worry about blood pressure meds), I love him just the way he is. But knowing I want to spend the rest of my life with him, I hope that when we live together (he lives in Texas, I live in Vancouver), I can help inspire healthier choices and exercise, not to change how he looks because I love everything about him, but to make him feel better and give him a better energy level. When I went there for three months last year, I gained 40 pounds because I often emulate my boyfriends' appetites. Just want him with me as long as I can.
Anyway, it's time to go to work. Sorry I haven't been around much, it's kind of been crazy around here. I hope I'll finally get some free time tonight to read your journals and comment on them! Hope everyone is doing ok!
