22 April

After having an episode of some serious stress eating last night, I haven't eaten much today. And what I have eaten was not of the best quality. Meh. I can overcome. I will overcome.

19 April

This has been the worst 2 weeks for my diet change! Almost as bad as when I got pregnant. Last week I (as Mackey so delicately put it) "was eating everything in sight". Then Sunday before last I had my surgery and being on pain meds, I forgot to eat for about 4 days. I don't recommend that. I felt absolutely awful. I have to admit though, it was nice not having to worry about eating. It's tough to squeeze in meals for me with Ax on the move 24/7! Mackey has been on me since he found out to eat every 3 hours or so and making sure that I eat at least 3 meals, even if it is fast food. But, I'm back and here to stay.  I was down to 165 on my anorexic stint but am now back up to a steady 169. I'm happy with that at this point. I know a lot of my bad choices lately are because of stress. I've had some health issues and I'm looking to change my career. (I know I change my mind like I change clothes, but I hope i'm on to something) I have to find a better outlet for my stress than food. It's hard to change though, being in our society and that's the way I was raised. I can change though. I will be what I WANT to be, not what I think I HAVE TO be.

Still going strong. Saturday was just one of those days where I just felt the need to cheat. SO, I tried the new El Fenix here in Burleson and much to my dismay, it was subpar at best. :/ Sok. Weight loss has stalled at 169# which is cool. I'm fitting into 10s now as opposed to 16s! Can't complain there. I get these periods lately where I don't feel like eating. Not that I'm not hungry, I just don't feel like making something then chewing. I've been turning to smoothies to solve the problem. I keep frozen, unsweetened fruit and veggies on hand for that purpose. I don't add anything but the fruit and veggies themselves. I've read that you don't get the same thing from pureed food as whole food, but I'm having a hard time understanding why. Is it because one step of the breakdown process is already done (mastication)? meh. Any thought out there on this?
