CathyJo77 's Journal, 24 June 2011

Yesterday I made a small step towards my new healthier lifestyle. We had so much food around work yesterday (leftover from a big research symposium). I passed up the cheesecake at a late morning meeting (really, cheesecake in the morning?!?). But then there was a luncheon with leftovers so I ate with some of the faculty. I had 1/2 of a ham/cheese sandwich, fresh fruit salad and a 7 layer bar (my favorite!). I ate the etire bar and then felt guilty. And since I had a .5 lb weight gain after cutting calories and exercising the day before, I negative self talk was loud and clear - "you are never going to loose weight, you're doomed to be heavy."

But instead of just blowing it and waiting until Monday to start again, I REGROUPED! I had a healthy supper. I passed up a wine cooler at a shower planning meeting in the evening. I still had my nightly Skinny Cow Truffle Bar that makes me feel so NOT deprived, AND I lost 1 pound this morning! Woohoo! Regrouping pays off! I can hardly wait to be in the 150's on the scale! Weekends are hard but now I have extra confidence and it is going to be a very busy weekend photographing a wedding and two other photo shoots. I am going to go buy some healthy snacks and good foods that will keep me going!
160.0 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 10.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Good for you!!! It is all or nothing thinking that will get to us. I am glad you got a pay off - we all need reinforcements. In response to your comment on my journal - the thyroid PA Mary Wuebben gave me some handouts of foods and supplements that your should and should not have. I was shocked to see that a lot of the foods I eat all the time were on my 1 cooked serving per day list. I also got a new vitamin and mineral supplement that contains most of the vitamins and minerals I need. I got my new meds this afternoon and I am so excited about maybe feeling good again. Just making the dietary changes has helped and my weight is coming down finally after months of struggling. I think what I was eating was interfering with my thyroid function. You should get tested!! I recommend Mary.
