Smollettri's Journal, 25 October 2012

I think I am back on track, trying to keep recording my food, went off the wagon for a while where I wasn't recording anything. I am better now. I need to cut out some things out of my diet, such as fattening cheeses like cheddar and American. I think I will stick to Part Skim Mozzarella. It is the best for me, and also the easiest to grill on my George Forman Grill. I need to stay away from processed cheese like American cheese. I think American cheese is way too fattening anyway. There are many ways I would like to cut down, one is I would like to get rid of any and all soda in my diet. I would like to make an agreement with someone to have no soda. I want to drink just plain water or Crystal Light Tea. I don't even want to drink any other kind of Crystal Light EXCEPT tea, because the tea is the only drink that doesn't taste so sickening sweet. I also get the 4C kind too, which is very tasty. I am going shopping this weekend. Time to empty cupboards. Stick to no soda, no other drinks but water or tea. Perhaps I will even get some real tea, you know, like the kind that comes in tea bags, just to see if I like it all the same. I do not drink hot liquids so if I got that I would have to have a way to make it cold. I should get a tea pot and boil the teabags first but I am not sure how to get them out afterward, otherwise I would have bought one a long time ago. Perhaps I will find a way. I wish not to be limited in consumption of drinks and I think that getting REAL tea would be better than the synthetic crap, so I have made up my mind to get some real tea, and not the little packets. I think tea is best right now. I was told by the idiots in Dunkin Donuts that they do not have sugar free flavor shots, when I know for a fact they do. Incompetence! I am going to start drinking coffee with splenda and cream alone. I would love to do flavor shots but I am not sure where to get them so that they are sugar free. I don't even own a coffeepot. I should invest in one, but I am not even sure how to make coffee. I think if I got a real coffeepot, I would be able to brew tea in it as well, but I am not sure. I am also afraid I would have to stock up on ice and I NEVER have ice, so I would just have to put it in the fridge till it was cool. But I also do not know if my pitcher, which is plastic, would melt if I put hot tea in it to stick in the fridge. I definitely got too many things to worry about now. I go to the Weight Loss doctor next week, for the first time alone, I am taking the bus. A little nervous, especially since I just spent about two weeks binging, but I am working out almost everyday and doing my best to keep active, so I should be able to walk in there with my head held high at least. I am so hoping I can start making some small changes, especially about what I drink, that is important to me to get that under control. I need to drink mostly water and stick with water and herbal tea and lay off the caffeine, so well, there goes my idea of coffee. I need to stay away from the caffeine, this is a given. I get very hyper when I have caffeine and it sends me into a whirlwind. I am going to look at the store for some teas that I may like. I do find I like the synthetic Green teas, but perhaps the real stuff I will like better. I am afraid to try black tea, although I do like red tea and white tea. I am also thinking of trying to add a little coconut milk to my water, just as a bit of flavoring. I am not a big fan of coconut, but its milk is tasty at times. I am really trying to find ways to change my eating habits, even if they are just little steps. I plan to make my grocery list between tonight and tomorrow and go shopping on Saturday, but I am unsure what to get yet, because I really want to cut down on synthetic stuff, such as mac'n'cheese and stuff in boxes like that. Tuna is on sale this week so I will definitely get an abundance of that. I am trying to eat more fish in my diet. I am eating more turkey than anything, I no longer eat red meat, and I haven't had a red meat burger in a while, and I don't miss it. I will write more after I make my grocery list and I will cut corners wherever I can so as not to get bad things to eat. I will let everyone know how I do in this aspect.

It is good to write journals and get things off our chests. I suggest speaking with your weight loss doctor about the things you discuss here. That is what they get paid to do. As for the soda, there is a challenge open right no for no soda. I gave it up 2 years ago and it was one of the best things I ever did. Wishing you the very best of luck.
