I am feeling frustrated right now. I had thought that I was not doing too badly on the eating front today, but looking over my list it’s really quite bad. I can not believe that I let so much slip in that I shouldn’t have eaten. It’s all full of refined sugar too, which I know has been proving to be an ongoing battle for me.
I need to work on this. One of my biggest problems lately has been just giving in to whatever food I want. I think it came from me not wanting to feel deprived – and that really worked for me for the majority of this journey – but now that helpful tool has morphed into a guideline that is being abused. If I want a food I must remember that I can have it, but that I don’t actually need to.

- 7 glasses of water
- 1 banana

Hi! My name is Jessica and I've been following your blog for a while now. I dont' think I've ever commented before, but if I may ~ I've noticed your diet is seriously lacking in any sort of raw food and completely lacking in vegetables.
ReplyDeleteI, too, can be completely overwhelmed by refined white sugar and I find having a (raw) green smoothie everyday really really helps keep me in control.
I use 2 c water, a banana, a handful of fresh spinach and any combination of fruit that you like. Right now I'm really digging pineapples & strawberries. I've gone through a phase where I used nothing but frozen blueberries and peaches.
Yes, the smoothies come out green and it can look a little odd ~ but I promise you, they are fantastic! I try to drink two quarts per day and depending on the amount of fruit used they average about 120-150 calories per pint.
I get so much energy from my smoothies and they really, truly help control the cravings.
You've done wonderfuly things over this past year. Don't sabotage yourself now. :)

I find it very easy to talk myself into the "just a little bit won't hurt" style of thinking. I gained 7 pounds in 3 months doing that.
ReplyDelete"If I want a food I must remember that I can have it, but that I don’t actually need to."
Isn't that the truth!?
I recently found your blog and read it all the way through from day one. You've done so well and I commend you. I have been right where you are so many times as a seven year lifetime Weight Watcher who is currently NOT at goal (four pounds to lose now). I asked a counselor if you could be addicted to food. She said she thought it was more of an addiction to carbs. She may be right. I know how hard it is to tell myself "NO" once I go the high sugar route. Hang in there.
ReplyDeletePut down those peeps and quickly back away! Do not forget to be vigilant. You don't need to be as strict as you used to be, but still... some things should not be consumed by humans. :-D
ReplyDeleteI love your photo progression!! That is such a great way to document your progress.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI believe your blog is award winning and definitely merits an award that I posted on my blog. But before you go to my blog I would like you to know how much inspiration I get on my weight loss journey because of your success and commitment (plus all the pictures). I reviewed many blogs before I decided on the “six.” I hope you will accept this award (and I hope you did not receive it before). I will post the award on Wed morning. Your blogger admirer, Michele at http://ruminationsasiuncoverthewomanwithin.blogspot.com/
