hey there!
I know, I'm really not expecting much result this early in, but I was wondering when I should start expecting some
weight loss.
I talked to my therapist today and she agrees that in order to lose weight, I can't deprive myself of the food I love. Just better portions, that's all.
I had a grilled chicken sub with fries for dinner. I would usually have a steak and cheese. I walked an hour on the
treadmill earlier, 2 and a half miles. I didn't used to walk at all, but yesterday I walked 5 miles. I feel so good about myself when I finish walking, but sometimes it's hard to get the motivation up to just get up off my lazy arse and go.
I really would like it if I could get off my meds completely, but I know right now that that's not possible. I just recently decreased my risperdal to 3 mg from 4 mg, and I'm very happy with the result. I haven't needed the extra mg since I got off of it. I still carry it around because that's what everybody tells me to do, but I feel confident without it.
I've been doing my best, but I have slipped up a couple of times. I had 14 fishsticks and two helpings of homeade mashed potatoes. But then I walked two hours on the
treadmill, and that made me fell better.
I had a small fry from McDonald's (they weren't even that good, but I ate them all anyway. :P) and I had fries at dinner, so I didn't do that great today. I might walk another hour on the
treadmill to make me feel better about my choices.
I weighed in at 228.1 lbs this morning. ONE WHOLE
POUND!! haha... I'll take what I can get.
Anyway, do you guys have any techniques for resisting those hot greasy foods? That's where I'm weak. That and just sitting around being bored, I end up eating even when I'm not hungry. Then I feel crappy about it later. I guess I have to break that habit like I stopped drinking regular soda. Is there anything I can replace it with? Maybe get some green beans and blanch them and eat them cold throughout the week? I like green beans.
Thanks you guys for supporting me!
It feels great to know that there's someone to hold me accountable.
