I have been ignoring the elephant in the room. I am finding that my eating habits (the bad ones) are slowly creeping back. It all started back in August with a Pita chip. Having the prescribe portion just wasn't enough, I wanted more, so I cut back on some foods so I could eat more Pita chips.
Then came crackers - the low cal kind that J turned me on to. They were really delicious, but one bag wasn't enough, so I started having two and I would give up some food for those two bags. Then I added cheese, and I cut back on my regular food.
Then it was eating out a couple times a week, I tried to compensate, but you know the food is very caloric no matter how much you leave on your plate, but I compensated by eating less of my regular food.
It ended up that I was eating so many bad things and compensating that I wasn't even eating the good food that would continue to help me lose the weight. I was tired of bland food and I wanted spicy and yummy. Food has become my focal point once more. So even though I have been able to maintain for the last couple of months, if I had stayed true to the plan I probably would be within spitting distance of my goal. As it is I am wondering how am I going to take this back? How am I going to to this around?

Sounds like its time to start using the 350 calorie cookbook again with Whitemop aka TSH doing some cooking. That cookbook has some great recipes.
ReplyDeleteTolar can eat the leftovers.
T3 should switch from Mojitos to Margaritas - at least TSH and T3 can share the margaritas. Mojitos seem to send TSH into sugar shock - yucchhh~
