I did go and eat... comfort food? pizza and coke. sigh... no brainer food.

I ate:
- english muffin
- coffee
- tea
- water
- 1.5 cups of homemade fried rice (white rice, egg, broccoli stir-fried in a small amount of sesame oil)
- 1 cup of cottage cheese

not sure what we're doing for dinner. We just got a 2nd book but Alton Brown (I LOVE that guy) and my husband is reading it now looking for inspiration. I have a meeting tonight so he'll do the cooking and we'll eat when I get home.

Pretty much the same things as before to eat. I seem to have hit a 5 pound weight loss plateau. I'm wondering if some of the fat is being replaced by muscle. I haven't checked it out by trying on a pair of jeans. I've been living in yoga pants since the weekend, and not because I feel fat but because they're comfy and presentable in public.

didn't eat tonight... ate a bit of pizza (leftover) and a oatmeal square. Lots of hot cider and tea. my fever is back. grrrr

Blech.

I ate too much today. I've hit a plateau after only three weeks, so I just felt like "what's the point of trying?" Took in probably somewhere in the 1600 range. I need to keep it close to 1200.

Shirley the point of trying is because you can do it

I think I've been eating way too much these couple of days. I'm starting to wonder whether or not I really do want to do the things necessary to lose weight.

I really want to lose weight but it seems like I don't want to do the work to lose it. I keep wanting the easy way out, like diet pills or something.

GL, I've always hoped for the "no effort" weight loss plan too. It doesn't exist. Changing your eating habits and exercise are really the only way to go, with the exceptions of Rx pills and surgery, which you wouldn't qualify for unless you were morbidly obese.

My efforts finally showed up on the scale this morning. I hadn't budged from the 125 mark in over a week. Yesterday afternoon I decided to let myself have an "eat whatever you want" night because I was frustrated with being so conscientious about what I was eating and not seeing any results. I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 123. I've lost 7 pounds in about 3-1/2 weeks doing things the right way.

My motivation is back. Whooo hoooo!!!!

I was so feverish today on way to T, I stopped at a Bk and got a large coke with plenty of ice.. to cool me down. When T found out I hadn't eaten yesterday, he matter of factly stated that I hadn't bought any food when I stopped at BK. Well, I said I was feverish.

I did go get some soup and salad.. this afternoon.

I went swimsuit shopping with my daughter yesterday. It wasn't tooooo traumatic, other than those damn dressing room lights. I found a Calvin Klein suit at TJ Maxx that I would have snatched up in a heartbeat, but it just didn't fit quite right. My torso was a tad too short. I found one at Target that I'm going to go back later and buy. I needed to try on the next-sized top and I didn't feel like getting undressed again.

I don't think I would have had the oomph to even look at suits 7 pounds ago, but I'm only 3 pounds over this past summer's weight now.
