I didn't post yesterday. Too busy.
We had a major blizzard Thurs & Fri and ended up with about 18" of snow. Damn, I hate winter!
The diet is going pretty well. I think I am down about 5 lbs. now which is great!
This is a tough diet and you have to stick to it exactly. If you cheat, your losses will be less....that said...bring me a glass of Cabernet dammit!
So far, the only cheating I have done is I had a little red pepper a couple days ago and today I made red and green peppers and vidalia onions sauteed, served w/ london broil. I am not supposed to have red peppers or cooked onions. I guess they have a lot of sugar, but I am not throwing away perfectly good veggies and they were delish w/ the beef; which I did with a dry rub of garlic, pepper and chili powder.
And seriously, my cheating was effing vegetables! Not Twizzlers which my bastard of a fiance ate right in front of me! The smell of Twizzlers was killing me! He is very lucky I like him b/c it was hard to take and I sorta wanted to strangle him w/ them...that naturally thin bastard! Ok, he isn't really a bastard. I am jealous of how easy it is for him to stay thin and fit.
He really doesn't get the whole concept of having food issues. Once we watched a documentary about teens w/ weight issues at a fat camp. One of the kids-an obviously gay kid who wasn't ready to be out. He had hardly any friends, just a couple girls from school and he was crying saying how he turns to food when he is sad and he was so clearly eating his feelings away. My fiance seriously said-why would anyone eat when they weren't hungry? Oh, my!
I explained that people turn to food when bored, or sad, or many other reasons b/c food is comforting and then you feel guilty and gain weight and get even more sad..and then you eat to comfort yourself...vicious vicious cycle.
Another time he told me that if I just ate less and exercised more, I would not have a weight problem.....NEWS FLASH, did you hear that?!? If you eat less and move more, you will lose weight!
aaaaarrrggghhhhhh!
It's a good thing I love him, huh? He really does have so many good points, but understanding food and my food issues, not so much! I actually have to, once in awhile, hear him say after getting on the scale, "oh, no, I've lost 7 lbs, I have to try to take in more calories!" He actually looses weight by accident sometimes b/c he's so active...dammit, I wish I was him sometimes!
