lmrainw's Journal, 14 July 2009

These past two weeks have been so incredibly hard. I am struggling with feeling like I am limiting myself. I am already a vegetarian, and now I am limiting myself to 1200 calories a day. It is so hard, especially when my fiance is not watching what he eats at all (not that he needs to). Over the weekend, his parents slow-smoked barbecue baby back ribs, and for the first time in a year and a half, I actually felt myself wanting meat. The hardest times for me are the weekends because there is no structure or anything. This weekend I am going to be painting, which is good exercise. And when I am doing something like that, I am not constantly thinking about eating.

Also, I am going to be trying to quit smoking soon. My fiance and I are spending $320 a month just on cigarettes, which is absolutely ridiculous! Wish me luck!

I have tried to quit smoking but always when I go a day or two the stress of everyday life gets to me and honestly I just dont even realize that the next thing I am doing is buying a pack of smokes. One of these days I want to quit I just dont know when. It is harder when my girlfriend smokes and I am not going to make her quit because that girl is horrible when she is fiending. I am a vegetarian and honestly I am contemplating the idea of going full vegan but I dont know yet. I really like my egg whites and my cheese and honestly cant find a moral reason to not have egg whites and cheese on occasion... Blessed Be Mark

I quit smoking and as long as you keep in your mind how expensive and disgusting it is, you will definitely get over it. You are trying to do good for you! Be careful about cutting your calories down so low too. Your body might think it's been starving itself and starts taking out of your muscles! That's no good! I've actually been losing more weight since I've been keeping my calorie intake around 1600-1800 calories. Good luck!

Why 1200? Maybe try 1400 to start off, until you get used to that, and are substituting volume foods that have vitamins etc. - Kadinelouise has a good point too that you might be starving yourself by going too low. And MarkieG - you need more calories - get a tasty treat to eat instead of smoking! Good luck all of you!
