Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.
- Robert Foster Bennett
This statement is so true. How often do we make choices whether consciously or unconsiously that may not always be the right ones? I know for me the one aspect that I never took complete control in a positive way was my weight. There are so many times, I was so close to the success of "MY GOAL WEIGHT" not anyone elses goal for my weight.
It's something I struggle with every day. Before I put anything into my mouth I think about it first. I used to just eat when I was sad, when I was happy, whenever there was a reason to celebrate I ate. That is how I dealt with life. Not anymore.
I no longer eat much! Which is not smart, but I can't help it. It's kind of weird. I get really nauseous now. When I'm stressed I can't eat. I have to learn how to have a happy medium where I eat when I need to eat, not because I want to eat. I NO LONGER LIVE TO EAT, I EAT TO LIVE! I eat what I need too, to get by.
I am not losing weight as quickly as I would like. I know, I didn't put it on in a month, and although it feels like I did at times, I know I didn't so I know it won't come off in a month! I should be so happy with 21.5 lbs. I am, but I have so much more I want to lose. I would like to lose another 73.5 lbs. To hit a total of 100 lbs. I have a feeling that is probably too much, but that is my goal at this point. I know it's going to take me a good year or so to get it off and adding a lot of exercise will help.
Today I had a banana for breakfast, for lunch I had some left over cheesy chicken & broccoli casserole and for dinner I had some eggplant parm. It was really good & I didn't eat an over abundance of it, I ate just enough, and was still full & I didn't have anything else tonight and I am still full & I ate at about 6. Maybe a little before. I went to a friends house. It had bread crumbs on it & I did ok with it. I have a slight headache, nothing too bad. SO I'm thinking that I need to stay away from bread crumbs too! I have stayed away from it, but I felt like trying it.
I also made hard boiled eggs to eat for breakfast with my banana or apples because I was finding myself hungry when I didn't eat them & I was much more successful the first few weeks eating more eggs. But I got a little burnt out on them as I was eating them too much. Although I did have more energy and was not craving sugar.
The rest of my evening was pretty quiet. Had cell phone issues, and computer issues, I am almost ready to get rid of my smart phone & go back to the bare minimum and just have no smart phone, because smart phones are not that SMART! LOL
Ok, I need to get off this computer.
Hope you all have a great night!
Godspeed!
