Today was horrible!!!!!!!! when i got home from work i was not hungry so i went straight to bed and when i work up around 3pm, my stomach was a little upset. My husband called and asked my to grill some chicken for dinner. I grilled the chicken and made some veggies. I only ate half of what i was allotted and i made my self a really nice dinner/lunch for work tonight. I get to work and i realized i forgot my lunch. I was sooooo upset because now i would be forced to eat at our cafeteria, and of course the would have all my favorite food tonight. While i was looking around for the MOST healtiest and that is within my diet. i really had to fight that old me. it was crazy i really felt like i had a little devil and angel on my shoulders. BUT I won.........i got a salad with F.F. Italian. As i was eating i truely wanted to cry. some tears of victory and some tear because i am realizing that food really can control your life.

    I too want to resort back to the "Old Me", and sometimes I do. However, I don't beat myself up because of it. I just don't do it every day anymore. I love food and I am feeling depressed because I now have to cook differently to make sure I have enough variety of food so I won't get bored. AND...getting enough of protein in a day is a big challenge to me. I know I am not getting enough because I am tired alot. Some days I have all the energy in the world and then other days, I want to sleep. Might be because I am depressed. I feel like I should be losing more weight and I'm not. I only had 2 fills so far. I really have been doing good, but this evening I didn't want to stop eating. I'm not giving up though. This is a challenge for all of us. Best wishes to you for a successful journey!
