Week 1

This is week one. I joined on Tuesday, and went out to eat with my friend as our "last meal", which is a normal ritual for diet starters. But then I realized about half way through that I wanted to start that day no matter how bad it was. So I tracked everything I ate, and surprisingly enough I didn't do too bad! I went over my daily a bit but I just used some of my weekly points.

And then the next day my parents ordered pizza, which is my weakness to the max, so I ate till I was full and recorded that. Again, I was over my daily, but I just pulled from my weekly (those are why I'm going to be able to survive this!).

So, yesterday I did better I worked all day so that helped. But I took carrots, which were surprisingly not as boring as I thought they'd be. They were actually really good! I hope my tastes continue to change, b/c I don't really like most veggies; so I'm kinda worried about get bored with carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. But hopefully between steaming them, and ranch dressing I'll have a year or so.

Today, I did so very well! I ate all day long and still have one point left!! I'm very excited. And that is even with having McDonald's Chicken nuggets! So, I don't feel deprived at all. Tonight I was craving something sweet though, and so I told myself if I was still hungry after making something good that I could have chocolate milk. Which seems to satisfy my chocolate craving for 5 points. I use ovaltine mix, which is yummy and low in points. But after a whole chicken breast and a salad I am full. But for some reason I am feeling hunger pains again. I think it's b/c I am still thinking about food. So, as soon as I get done here I'm going to go do a Bible study, which will hopefully take care of it.

I'm still feeling excited so far, and not the normal anxiety that comes with a diet. But I think that is b/c I'm mostly eating the same stuff, just less. I didn't realize that my normal bowl of cereal was really 2 or 3 servings. Or that I was eating that much twice a day. I think the tracker website is also helping, b/c I love computer stuff, and being organized. But most of all I am praying about it, God is the only one that can help me do this. If it is his will, then it will happen. And hopefully he will help my willpower, b/c I have none.

I've chosen 5% of my current weight as my first goal, and a tool set for a cricut machine as my prize!! The counter below reflects my short-term goal, and I don't have a time line for it.

Oh, and I am also doing Curves. Hopefully I can get 3 times a week in every week. I've done twice so far, and tomorrow is my third. And I do situps at the end, which I actually look forward to, probably b/c it means I'm done! lol

I hope this finds you well!! God Bless!!
