Well, that is a no brainer, I have all these great supportive buddies of mine that I can always count on. I also have my sister, who is always on my side, plus she is the best motivation there is, with a 100 lb loss under her belt for over a year. This was an easy one. Today I ate slowly, it was hard eating without reading the paper, but I did. I ate sitting down, I gave myself credit for making good choices, I read my response card 3 times.

Breakfast: always the same, and I never tire of it
dinner: lettuce salad with my french dressing
Linda Sue's chicken enchilada...

I had a really bad day today. My self esteem is in the toilet because of my size. I am bigger than I was last year by 20 lbs, even w/ the five I lost. Nothing fits and I feel just awful. I cannot really afford to buy new clothes either because I can't work and my disability income is so small. I just feel so humiliated.

I even thought about going back to Atkins or some other LC plan so I could lose it QUICK! But with whatever my body is going through I don't lose the weight no matter what the plan. I only lost 6.5 pounds after a month of Induction on Atkins, then nothing for...

Had a refeed today. It was much needed. My last one was last Friday. I was totally prepared for this one. Yesterday I made a few concoctions.
1. Granola - Raw oats, wheat bran and flax mixed with olive oil, water, vanilla, splenda, and cinnamon. I added a bit too much olive oil which added up to 4 grams fat per 1/2 cup serving so I only had one serving for breakfast. It sure was filling!!! I only ate 1/2 cup, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup egg whites and I was sooooooooo full - not even a sugar craving. I had to force my fruit before my workout 3 hours later. Anyone have a low fat granola...

Yesterday I went to the gym for the first time in AGES.

I could only manage 5 mins on the eliptical and then did 25 on the bike.

Today I pushed myself (and MAN was it hard) to do 10 mins on the eliptical (thought I was going to pass out, seriously) and then did 40 mins (!!!) on the bike. I feel so proud for almost doubling my exercise today..yay me!

Weigh in on Tues, fingers crossed!

Well, yesterday I was somewhat grumpy. I have quit the Chantix altogether and will tough it out sans meds. I take Wellbutrin anyhow, so that should help a little. Besides, it has been long enough that the physical nicotine cravings should be out of my system. Now it's just the psychological crap to deal with.

I slept well last night, the dog let me sleep 'til 7 this morning and I felt refreshed for the first time since I started the Chantix. I'm starting to feel like I might get this under control. I'll never say I've got it beat, 'cause it's like any other stinking addiction,...
