Sleep!
I've noticed a huge link between sleep deprivation and overeating. Last night I was tired - and wanted to go to bed early but DH wanted to watch Jon Stewart and Colbert after DS went to bed, and I agreed. Which led to an unplanned snack of cream cheese, pickles and ham. All OP but still I didn't feel good about it. I think early bedtime is the best bet for me! I've also noticed that even if I've done every right I can gain weight if I don't get enough sleep! Perhaps it's the stress/weight co-relation again? I need 8 hrs every night. Which means to bed at 10:30 and asleep by 11:00!
I'm at that impatient place in my weight loss journey. the scale can't move fast enough to suit me. I was looking at some photos of myself at around my lowest weight after my first attempt at Atkins. I would have been about 75lbs lighter than I am now. AND I STILL LOOKED FAT!! It just sends home the message that I have a long row to hoe. And if I don't fix what's wrong - not just my physical size - but what is really causing me to lose all pride - I will die young and unhappy. And I can't die young. I have a son with autism that may need his mom for his entire life. I know that your job as a parent never ends - but mine REALLY never ends.
The overall mood today - tired and desperate!
