Here I am back on the wagon again after my Sunday binge. I will admit that the sweets threw me off. I had sugar free brownies with sugar free frosting, and I ate too much, though I was really satisfied because I never get to have baked goods. I am sitting here drinking my black coffee. I had to give up milk and half and half in my coffee, I usually drink about 3 cups a day and that can be like 100 to 200 calories in milk and half and half. I also gave up hummus and ice cream. Sorry to repeat myself if this is not a news flash. I loved all of those things and I would underreport them on my diet calendar. Hummus especially - I would lie to myself and say "Oh, but it's so healthy" and eat like 6 tablespoons when I was putting down that I ate 2. Same for ice cream. I cannot eat ice cream (sugar free) in those little half cup portions they say I should have. I have to eat at least a cup of ice cream, sometimes more, and it adds up. Again, I tell myself "Oh, but it's sugar free!" Yeah. That is a lot of stuff I need to get out of my head. I need to find the empty and the hidden calories. I lost track of what got me to the point I am today - honesty. I started out being the most honest dieter ever. Then as I achieved a lot of weight loss, I began to slack here and there, and not report what I was eating, and wonder why I never lost any weight again. I have always been good with the exercise, and I think that's why I never gained a ton of weight back. Still, at this point I find myself 5 pounds over the lowest weight I have achieved to date. I have my work cut out for me. I have size 8 pants calling my name. I know I'm not really a "big girl" any more, and I wear a size 10, and a lot of people would kill for that. Still, I'm 5'4" and I weigh 174 pounds. That is still not healthy. I am not trying to look like a model, or a teenager - I'm 40, for petesakes. I am trying to get down to a healthy weight for a person who is as short as I am. So one day at a time, I struggle to post my food, and if it's a good day, my exercise, too.

I have been at the same weight for a week now. I know that's not very long. I have not been perfect, but I haven't binged. My biggest challenge today is that I am going to support a youth group tonight, and these kids live and die for pizza. I love pizza, too, and I cannot just eat a slice or two. So I have going to have to bring my own food and be very vigilant about it. I had gained back 12 pounds over my lowest weight, and I have lost 7, but I still 5 pounds over. I have a drawer full of bikinis I bought when I was feeling optimistic, and I guess this summer is just one more summer that has passed without me getting in them. I have size 8 jeans that I have had since my last birthday 11 months ago, and I have still not managed to get into them without a muffin top. It's really bothering me. I just need to let it bother me into action, into more running and smaller portions and sizes. I'm still here!

I did fairly well today. Ate a little over 1400 calories, and worked out running for an hour. I don't have a sedentary job - I am running around and driving all day. I wonder if this helps me or if my body has gotten so used to it that it doesn't make a difference. I resisted overeating on sweets today - bought myself a small package of Teddy Grahams and did not overeat them - they are still in the car. I was in the grocery store and I bought reduced fat cheese, strawberries, and cherries, as well as a to go salad.
Salad wasn't that healthful, but I was pretty honest about what was in it. I am trying so hard to keep up my ban on sweets in the house. I was in that store, and I wanted ice cream, cookies and candy - all sugar free available, but more temptation than I can handle. With graham crackers or cookies, I will eat the whole box. With sugar free brownies or cake, I will eat A LOT. Maybe not the whole thing, but a lot. Same with ice cream - I won't eat like half a container in one sitting, but I bet I eat a quarter of it. I can't keep doing this and rationalizing it and minimizing the servings that I do eat. So I just can't have it in the house. I can handle sweets out of the house, because you purchase a finite amount, which is one serving. One serving of sugar free frozen yogurt. One serving of sugar free cake or pie. One serving. I can't cheat with it later. And the fact that I have to drive and go and buy it - this pretty effectively discourages me from having more than one serving. So it's come to this. No sugar free (or regular) sweets in the house anymore!
