Yesterday started out well and then just sucked. I was motivated and then got triggered and just blew it. And kept blowing it. Didn't even bother recording after lunch because it was pointless. My teenager made chocolate chip cookie dough and that is in my top three trigger foods ever (ice cream and cinnamon rolls being the others) and I just couldn't stay away from the damned bowl. Then, after blowing it so bad, I just gave up and also started swilling strawberry lemonade. It was terrible and I felt just totally out of control. Today, I am back on track and doing really well even though I am visiting my parents and my mom just pulled a hot homemade pound cake out of the oven and there is a warm pan of homemade mac-n-cheese on the counter. I was scheduled for something called a Dex scan today to measure my body fat levels, but my husband asked me to cancel it because we haven't met our deductible for the year and we are saving for college for our oldest child (leaving in 4 months!). So, I guess the debate about whether I am "overweight" or "obese" will have to be resolved without the assistance of pricey diagnostic imagery this time around, although I was really curious and looking forward to seeing what this would reveal. Darn kids.....taking all our $$ for 17 years and counting--LOL.

Just entered my final data for my food log and am realizing it is no wonder I am overweight. I am totally clueless about food and how much calorie/carbohydrate value it has. If I would have eschewed the salad dressing at lunch and the honey on my sweet potatoes, I would have been doing fairly well. Instead, I just poured them on, thinking, erroneously, that such a small amount of anything would have negligible impact on my calorie count. WRONG! So, because of my ignorance about this, I ate 132 grams of carbohydrates today when I am supposed to stay under 80. Not a stellar success, but this isn't a diet so much as a life change, and thus, I am in no race to any finish line. A lifetime of bad eating will not go away overnight, but I won't quit trying until my health is restored.

Lunch with Anya at DeSha's went really well. Even without sweet tea or soda, bread, a fried entree, or dessert. I have never ever ever been a "I'll-just-have-a-salad" girl, but today, that's exactly what I did. A large spinach salad with grilled chicken and an unsweetened iced tea was a very unusual, but surprisingly satisfying, meal for me. Of course, the companionship was delightful and I would eat mud to spend an hour with Anya, so that helps. Anya is also a foodie, so she gets what it means to me to be eating this way. We have been eating together and talking about food since we met 12 years ago, and I am very happy that just having a salad didn't ruin the lunch occasion for me. For dinner tonight, I have venison steaks thawing out and I will have one with something green and maybe a sweet potato (no brown sugar on it, alas!) and that will make a day of wonderful eating that is good for body, mind, and soul.

First visit to a weight doctor yesterday and am now rather despondent. Although I have "known" for years that I was overweight, for some reason, hearing words like "metabolic syndrome" and "obese" broke through my protective wall of denial and I am facing the fact that I have essentially eaten myself into a near-disease state (acute inflammation, ie, metabolic syndrome, ie pre-diabetes). Today I am in the first stages of shock, fear, panic, and mourning for the foods I was told to eschew that I love more than life itself (almost!), such as cookies, cake, pie, candies, bread, pasta. I love to bake and have been planning on making a fudge torte with a cream topping and a raspberry glaze next weekend, but I know I would eat it all if I did, so I had better just not go there. I will probably obsess about that torte for weeks, but I know I have to power through this. I feel like when I adopted a child at age 40, I made a spiritual commitment to staying alive to raise her, and I am playing Russian Roulette with my health and her childhood by not taking this step. So, here I go, off into the abyss of low-glycemic living. Wish me luck, comrades.
