I finally concluded that the meds I am on are not only making me exhausted, but extremely hungry. This has set back my weight loss in a big way. But I'm not giving up. I'll just have to come up with new strategies to succeed. I'm going to try my best to eat according to plan over the next 2 days. I can't change the past, I can only control the future. I am proud that I still recorded my horrific eating this week. The old me would not have even bothered.

Today was rough. I was plagued with hunger all day. Not ravenous, just hungry. I was also very stressed, bored and tired trying to focus on a very tedious assignment at work. I was so sleepy that I counted the minutes until I could go home. Pure torture! Did not have energy to make it to gym today. Will shoot for tomorrow. Very tempted to order pizza, wings or a sub, but I really like how loose my clothes as starting to fit and I really like how my swollen ankles have been normal size over the last 4 days for the first time in a LONG time. I will not eat another frozen dinner today because I have to watch my sodium intake. I don't want anything with carbs because that will trigger intense carb-cravings. I just hope to go to sleep and stay asleep having consumed less than 1500 calories today, which is no small feat given I haven't eaten dinner and I'm still hungry.

Yesterday was awful, my body was SOOO hungry that I was completely caught off guard. I know I am carb-sensitive and I guess I must have set myself off. It was so bad that I could not focus on anything else except eating. No matter what I ate, it was not enough. I had cereal in the morning and I believe that's what triggered everything. So from now on, it will be high protein breakfasts going forward. Also, I started drinking the green tea and I could feel it causing my hunger to rise exponentially. I seemed OK today, so maybe it was a matter of my body getting used to it. Doing very well today and I'm not even hungry after having eaten only breakfast and lunch. Tomorrow is another day.

I'm losing weight very slowly, but I'm not discouraged because I am eating in a much more controlled fashion. This is HUGE progress for me not to be dismayed because I didn't do things perfectly at a meal or for an entire day. Now, thanks to this website I look forward to starting again at the next meal or the next day. This is a FIRST for me: it was always ALL or NOTHING. I don't beat myself up when I can't get to the gym. Instead I am using this process to learn about me and what my body needs to function. I am mostly an emotional eater, so in the past, it was not normal for me to feel hunger pains so frequently, because I more than likely ate not long ago to fill some emotional emptiness. Now, I'm feeling legitimate hunger pains and I have to respond to it even if it exceeds my calorie goals for that meal or that day. If I get too hungry, I'll just make a ton of horrible choices and REALLY feel guilty. Now, I'm learning which foods keep me satisfied at specific times of the day. Technically, I was just recently diagnosed as a diabetic (blood sugar slightly above the diagnosis threshold), so that could be why I'm experiencing hunger in ways I haven't before. But, I'm not going to give into this disease (ex. I'm not taking meds right now) and I'm living as though I don't have it so I can focus on losing weight and exercising which is what I will need to be free from it. I don't recommend this approach to anyone, it's just what I decided to do. I have so many problems in life right now, diabetes is the last one I need. If I don't make decent progress over the next 3 months, then I will allow myself to go on meds. It's a serious disease and I have to recognize that and treat it accordingly.

I have definitely mastered my eating and cravings ate work - something I have always believed would be very difficult to do because I'm often stressed and bored there. This week the focus will be on consistent exercise for 5 days this week. I will also add more veggies and fruit to my diet.
