Whew! Down a pound and a half. What a relief. I was starting to think that what I'm doing just wasn't working.
I faced my biggest challenge last night, and I completely failed. I developed an increasingly bad headache that turned into a migraine, and none of my meds were helping. I ended up eating some chocolate and drinking a glass of Amarula, and I spent most of the night on the couch, listening to Law & Order episodes with a sleep mask on.
The thing about using food to treat pain is that, a lot of times, it does help. Those endorphins work hard. Obviously, though, it's no long term solution. I am seeing a great neurologist and taking several medications, and we're going to try Botox injections sometime in the next month, so I'm doing everything I can to find a better solution--including losing weight.
I'm realizing, too, how vital sleep is to weight loss. I work third shift, so getting enough sleep isn't always easy, especially with a boyfriend and four dogs who are on a normal schedule. It's another thing to work on.
Overall, I feel really good today. I feel good about what I'm doing. I'm not miserable, I'm not afraid of eating, I'm not going too far with the diet. I was once very close to developing an eating disorder, so setting a reasonable goal for myself it important. I know it will take me two or more years to reach my goal, but that's okay with me. It's more important that I do this in a rational, sustainable, healthy way than it is to lose as much weight as possible, as quickly as possible.
