I really hate having limited excess to the net.. ARGH...
Gained .3 lbs since yesterday! UGH.. ok I know that it does not sound a lot.. but every .10 lb counts when trying to lose weight..rofl...No this sounds like I am down.. but I am not.. pretty positive.. just some "issues" I need to talk about..that is all...
I know that I have lost a lot of weight, but it is frustrating to feel that I still need to find comfort in eating foods, when in stressful times. Even though the foods I eat are healthier, it is still to me a disturbing trend that I thought that I would "conquer" by now (that when I am stressed or depressed, that I find comfort in food). But I have not. Instead of little debbies, I tend to eat fiber one type of products (not 6 at a time- but only one), non fat yogurt, baked chips, and salad's (even though I am slowing down in that department-- not eating as much salad's)...
Also it is frustrating that my scheadule is kind of messed up, since I "eat" dinner after I get off of work instead of around 6 or so, Like I use to. Yes, eating later does show up in the AM...less time for the calories to be burned off. Even though I am staying at or a little under my RDI, calorie intake, I am losing weight slower- or at least that is part of my problem with losing weight, than I have been. Ok I know that we are going into the winter months as well- which has a lot to do with it also.
The other thing that bothers me bout my diet, is that I feel like that I can not splurge once in a while, without it showing up the following day- and it takes five to six days to "burn" the splurge off. For example, ice cream- cake, candies, etc. When I have it, my body reacts like "OH MY HOW I MISS YOU>> I WILL KEEP YOU AS LONG AS I CAN! CAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY YOU AGAIN!!!" Mode... rofL-- Barbara's (my wife) body reacts differently, and she can splurge once in a great while.. oh well.. amazing how God's creation works...
The biggest help that I have found is counting my calorie intake- realizing where I am at helps so much. The concern that I have, it is in the back of my mind, is how to maintain my weight- and not trying to lose more than what my doctor wants me to lose.
Believe it or not, I can really see myself going over board with losing weight- and becoming "underweight" for my bone structure. For those that do not know me, my bone structure is pretty huge- and the weight range my doctor wants me at (225 to 250), I would still be considered obessed by the standard set by the medicial "experts," for my height and large bones.
The "ideal weight" for me is around 140 to 183- for those that know me, can you imagine how unhealthy I would be at that weight?!
I have noticed that I am very impatient with myself on getting from one maker to the next.. it seems to me that it is taking forever to get to the 100 pound loss marker. I know that it was not that long ago that I was "complaining" bout how long it was taking me to get to the 300 lb marker- and how I was bouncing back and forth from that marker. One day waking up at 299 the next 300.5, then back down to 299.7 the following day..lol.
Weight loss can do funny things to your mind!! Trust me!
The one other thing that kind of bothers me, is that people ask me if I feel any different.. any better-- to be honest, I really do not think so. Buit again, I see improvements in little things like walking at walmart without the use of the cart, or climbing stairs like normal..but my aches and pains are still there...back pains, knee pains, and well gut pains as well..(yeah that kind of scares me-- herniapobia)...
Anyway, thanks for the ear...
