Mary in LA的日记, 2013年09月30日

[Warning: this is long!] Back up over 150. Not happy about that, but doing my best to take it in stride. This past week I wasn't at all careful about my eating, so I'm really not surprised.

The halfway point seems like a good place for me to reevaluate what's working and what's not:

- Low-carb works really well for me, as long as I stick to it. I like protein foods (meats, poultry, eggs, fish, cheese, etc.) and low-net-carb foods (veggies), so I'm not feeling deprived.

- I don't seem to miss grains or baked goods much. I had some cookies at a party on Sunday and found they were much too sweet for my taste. Had one potato chip and one pretzel -- meh. But the peanut butter cups? Oh, my! I could've Bogarted the whole bag.

- Sweet and high-fat in combination, like those PB cups, really set me off. And my DH is making fabulous home-made ice cream, a different flavor *every day*. We brought his butter-rum ice cream to the aforementioned party, and one of the guests, who is a marketing specialist, said he should sell the stuff! It really is that good, and I'm not just saying that 'cuz I'm married to the guy. :)

- Carbs are amazingly hard to avoid! I'm sure this is not news to anyone here. ;) Roast beef, lettuce, mustard, mayo, and a tomato slice have hardly any carbs to speak of, but then I put them between two slices of bread, and blammo! Carb-bomb.

- Amazingly enough, knowing that I should be exercising does not magically translate into actually exercising. I'm facing up to the fact that I will never establish any sort of exercise routine unless I make it a very high priority. I can only hope that once I do get a routine established, the thought of exercise won't be quite so much in the foreground of my mind, making me anxious and taking up valuable brain space I'd rather be spending on other things.

- I proclaimed a couple of months ago that I was going to quit drinking coffee. Nuh uh. Not happening. I don't have enough willpower to lose weight and quit caffeine at the same time. I *need* those caffeine hits to stay upright and functional. I *want* that wonderful comforting hot slightly bitter taste. Sometimes I feel that, dietarily speaking, coffee is my only friend, because I can have it when I can't or shouldn't have anything else. I will just put up with the galloping laryngopharyngeal reflux (took me 4 tries to type "laryngopharyngeal" correctly!) until I'm at my goal weight. At least my gastro doc will be pleased with my weight loss, I hope!

- Oh, and water. Eight glasses a day, yeah yeah yeah. May I just say right here and now how much I dislike drinking plain water? Water is bor-ing. And how does it work out that 8 glasses = 16, 32, 64 trips to the ladies' room? Yeesh. I should ask the tech guys to just move my computer in there and be done with it. :p

- Finally, do I really believe what I've said so often to my FatSecret pals, namely that "there are no bad foods"? If so, why am I even still thinking in terms of crossing foods off my list? Do I really believe that the way the clothes fit is more important than what the scale says? If so, why am I upset about this week's +1.9 pounds?

Somebody kick me in the pants and tell me to lighten up! :)

Myth = 1 lb of musche weight more than 1 lb fat = one pound is one pound BUT 1 LB OF MUSCLE IS SMALLER IN SIZE THAN 1 LB OF FAT IN SIZE. Put a lb of fat (animal fat) size by size with 1 lb of lean muscle meat and see the difference Just saying! Get back on track, everyone needs a treat once in a while.

Hi Mary! I hear ya ...I think not eating carbs make you go crazy...crazy for bread or fat and sugar combos etc...I think NOT eating any one certain type of food triggers an imbalance of sorts and SOME of us really react in a non-stoppable way...I know I do....Hope you aren't beating yourself up too badly...the weight will come off...maybe try a more balanced approach...that roast beef sandwich sounded AWESOME! Enjoy and Good luck!

Hey my new buddy...Its very hard to live with out bread for me...and as I am on WW I can eat what I want but I DO have to count those points..now my WOE is not for every one just as Atkins and all the others isn't as well...We have to take one day at a time...as for your gain..it most likely is fluid...maybe you had a little more salt than usual...I tried to exercise and it seemed all it did was set me back as I would get hurt trying to do a maneuver LOL...Coffee...no way I could live with out my coffee...I even bought me a single cup maker as some times I just want one cup...hated to use the big pot for that... Looks to me like your doing very well...Keep at it..Your new buddy Bren..:O)

Suggestion, I love bread too and found the Ezekiel 4:9 bread (freezer section) and it's made from a sprouted grain, very hardy and it does not spike your sugar. Try it, just keep in refrigerator otherwise it will mod really fast. It has no preservatives.

Alvarado St. Bakery company has some great sprouted breads too! Usually in the frozen section too. Delicious!
