so... how's it going? How's the weather? Have you called your mom today? Have you called your kids today? Did you pet a cat? Oh look at that, huh I lost 3 pounds. ho hum. I hear the sports teams are playing today. ;)
I owe this to all of you who didn't let me give up. One month ago I was ready to quit and call it a life. Everyone who read that journal encouraged me to keep going. So I started really taking stock of what I was eating, how much I was eating, and life in general. In the one month since I was ready to give up I have lost 6.6 pounds. That's about 1.66 pounds a week.
What did I do differently? Most importantly I started logging my food. That started me on a mindful way of eating. Do I really want to eat this and have to log it for the entire world to see? If I eat this now will I have to eat less for a later meal? Then I started reading. The book that got to me the most was "The Starch Solution" by Dr John McDougall. I had already cut out meat, and pretty much eggs. After reading The Starch Solution I cut out cheese and oil as well. It was surprisingly a lot easier than I thought. Since I was eating starches as my main source of nutrition, I didn't have cravings. I started making bulk food and just keeping preprepared food in my fridge so that I wouldn't be tempted by Taco Bell. I've also started putting my food consumption into cronometer.com and it shows me my daily nutrient intake. I'm doing pretty well with all my vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Lastly, I just pretend I haven't lost the weight so my body doesn't know and sabotage me. Somethings working.
