Morning Weigh In: Down .6 lb.

This morning I woke to find that I’ve gone down .6 pounds. Although I’m happy about this, I am still trying to get a grip on this back and forth thing. I’ve been told that it will take a little while for my body to re-adjust to all of this losing vs. gaining and I can only maintain a healthy diet and hope that my body decides to settle on the “losing” end of things. All in all, I guess I should be happy that I’ve lost all of the pounds that I have so far. I keep reminding myself that all of my jeans fit!

I’m finding that each morning I wake, regardless of what the scale says, I’m looking at food in a whole new way. I actually plan out my eating for that day. I reason through calorie intake and make sure that I’m getting my protein but that I’m not overdoing anything else. I will say that the struggle to stay away from starch and sugar is starting to really get to me. Sugars…no real problem there. But it’s been very difficult to pass on the potatoes during dinner time.

When the family is munching on their French fries with our hamburgers, I have to practice my deep breathing in order to maintain. It also makes me a bit fearful for when I’m able to really eat normally again. Of course, I want to do everything possible to keep this weight off but I feel in order to do that, I’ll never be able to enjoy a piece of bread again!

Breakfast: coffee, water
Lunch: lunch ham rolled in American cheese with mustard
Dinner: vegetable soup, one beer
Snack: handful of cashews

ESTIMATED TOTAL CALORIES: 500
