I thought I entered a journal entry yesterday, but it is not here! My computer keyboard is acting weird also. Oh well it is a new day. I've been away from this site for awhile. The past year has been stressful and I need to renew and move on. I've been the caregiver of my elderly parents. My dad with Parkinson's and my mom with Alzheimer's. My dad passed away April 13 2013. But it has not become easier, but I guess we all do what we have to. It has also been almost a year that I became 'dis-engaged', which was very difficult. There was too much to get into here about that, but I think I am better about it all now. All that plus work stress plus other things led me to not care much about ME and that was not good. I didn't eat really bad but did eat a lot out which is not the best thing for me. BUT that is past now I have to work on today and go from there.
In the past I would try for the quickest, easiest way to loose weight. Not thinking about anything else but the number. Along with that, how my clothes would fit; lower sizes....A NUMBER! Now I want to feel better also! Sometimes I would feel ok being overweight, but not most times. Also I would give in to others as far as them saying, "oh just eat one it won't hurt you" etc, etc, WELL OTHERS do not know ME and my body. Only I know! And YES it would hurt me, mainly because I'm a compulsive eater. Like that stupid commercial, 'you can't eat just one'
Isn't that a ridiculous commercial? And they are making millions on that product, which is probably NOT the healthiest snack to begin with! Oh well move on and take care of ME!
I went to a little seminar last week and the plan I'm on is very simple and easy for me, I just have to remain strong. I've been on it since Monday and feel so much better!
Mainly I eat protein at least 3 times a day, Vegies (as much as wanted)ALL except no while potato, no corn and be careful with carrots & sweet peas(I don't care about them so just eliminated them). Fruit; lemon, & berries (that it! BUT ALL THE BERRIES :-)nuts & seeds all raw only (NO Peanuts they are not a nut) Use coconut oil & olive oil (extra virgin recommended) there is a sweeter recommended but I don't care about sweetening anything. NO grains NO Dairy.
Also I take supplements that were recommended.
So that's it! I must admit, I'm physically satisfied BUT I know I still crave things. And being around others that aren't on the plan is difficult. BUT I must be strong for me. I need to just remember how I felt before and how I feel now regardless of the NUMBER!
take care to all and I really am going to try to get on here at least a few times a week. I also have been obsessed with FB So I need to get back with being motivated to be HERE on FS instead of FB!
