But, I'm back on this week. I weigh 495 and my blood sugar was 194 this morning. Considering how I abused myself over the weekend, I'm shocked it wasn't higher.
And, BTW, no worries, Sue. I was a BIG pig! On top of that, I missed a post yesterday.
Breakfast was three poached eggs (I should say rubber eggs, ate them anyway) two slices of bacon and one sausage patty. Lunch was a medium salad, no meat - all they had was ham. Dinner was a T Bone and salad. I drank water until I got home, and I've only had one can of Diet Rite (No sugar, No caffeine).
My ankle is bothering me. My tendinitis is acting up from all the driving I did this weekend. Hopefully that will clear up before the end of the week and I can get on the tread mill.
I've got a lot on my mind, the job is just the most obvious stressor. I need to find better outlets for my stress than eating. I also need to change my attitude. Last week I allowed the fact that I only lost one pound become a rallying point for my stress to push me over to old, bad habits. I was telling myself that at one pound a week it would take me six years to lose the weight and that I could not stand to diet for six years. Well, duh, I am going to have to watch my weight for not just six years, but the rest of my life. And, a pound lost is better than a pound gained. Losing a pound a week is what normal dieters do. It's a reasonable, healthy thing. My need for instant gratification needs to take a hike. I won't find instant satisfaction with my diet or the results of my diet - I've got a long road ahead.

One other thought...
As you drop the weight, you will add muscle. Muscle helps you burn calories so you will lose weight and then add muscle.....
Try not to think of it as a "long road". Think of it like an alcoholic... take it one day at a time. It seems far less overwhelming if you only have to worry about today.
