Densible's Journal, 07 March 2008

Still no weight loss. I feel so hopeless BUT I am not giving up. I WON"T. I started a modified version of Atkins Tuesday. So far I am struggling hard with eliminating most carbs. I cannot eat meat and my go to meals are the smart one's pastas. I think I will get there it is just about creating new habits. My go to dinner will have to be grilled shrimp and roasted veggies. Lunches-salad and some kind of protein-tofu/chicken breast?

I feel so guilty and selfish eating chicken-it's so easy though....

The fat consumption on Atkins scares me too, so I have modified that as well. Egg "product" instead of real eggs. I hate eggs but am forcing self to have them for breakfast. 2 eggs are 14 g of fat. I cannot do that! So today I had the fat free egg product and I am feeling quite vomitous. Perhaps I will be too sick to eat lunch. THAT may be the "diet" that ends up working here-good old fashioned nausea!

Adding more cardio to my exercise too. Ran/walked 2 miles on Wednesday. Will do at least that today.
