Today is the 3rd day of being on track. It's a little easier, but HHT can attest to the fact that I've been pretty out of it for the past 2 days. I always forget how cold and tired I get when I quit all the binge eating, which if I could remember these nasty feelings, one would think that would be enough reason to not go back to the bad eating.
I sat down and figured out if I was to lose a pound a week how long it would take to reach my ultimate goal. So my target for being 150lbs is July 31, 2010. Long time from now, but it takes some pressure off and is definitely a healthy way to get there. Now, with the vamping of goals, I thought I'd change the way I reward myself as well. I know me and I know that if I come in under my goal for a week, I'll view that as a reason to splurge a little. Not that splurging is necessarily a bad thing, but for me at the moment, it is. Anyway, I will be rewarding myself "gold stars" for each week that I'm under my goal weight for that week. And I'll be coming up with a variety of things to save up the stars for...movies, weekends away, etc. Still a work in progress and is of course subject to change before I reach my goal. It all depends on what I need at the time for it to work for me. Right now, this is it.
I have been writing my food intake down in a little book that I keep in the kitchen. Last night was the hardest for me. We had pizza and I was jonesing for a whole piece and was just really having to fight my cravings. It helped that we had to grocery shop and that later HHT put the leftovers away for me.
So that's it from here for now. Oh and off topic completely, check out http://www.pandora.com
It's a great site where you can "build" radio stations based on artists and songs you like. I can't get enough and it's FREE! :o)
