Streak

I have lost 4.5 lbs. I did Wii every day for 3 weeks, 255 calories a day. Then it dropped off a little. Then I got strep throat and it dropped off more. I am trying to work my way back into it but it's also a crazy busy time for me school-wise, so we will see what happens. I kept waiting until way too late and I was staying up past midnight just to get my 255 in.

I should keep it up, it helps reduce stress and boost my immune system. I'll start again tomorrow...ok, maybe I'll do a couple minutes tonight.

Fruit

I always thought of myself as a pear but I saw myself in the mirror the other day, from the side, and I saw an apple. That's part of what got me started this time around.

Feeling Full

If I may say, I am a master at WW. I am terrified about being hungry. I don't know why, it's irrational.

Sometimes I over plan. I eat super low point foods, but oddly I almost never eat zero point foods...not on their own anyway. I don't chow down on carrot sticks but I'll put lettuce on sandwich or salsa on a burrito.

Anyway...today I overplanned. It's 9pm and I am completely stuffed. However, I've only 18 of my 30 points. What do I do know?

I think I might have some bread and butter later...if I can stop feeling so full.

Tiny Tummy and Seven Days Strong!

So it only took 2 or 3 days for my stomach to shrink...in the inside. I noticed myself getting full much faster. That definitely helps with the dieting - it's harder to over eat. Overeating is still possible and then things can stretch out again, but if I stay on top of it, think of all the money I've save on bariatric surgery!

Anyway, I have done seven full days of staying on top of my points and of working out each day. I do at least 255 calories on the Wii Fit and I walk about an hour a week.

I have lost three lbs.

Babies

I think I have written about this before but I am too lazy to check.

I don't want to have a baby right now but I am pretty sure I want one eventually. I am positive I do not want to get pregnant when I am this overweight. The health risks scare me but most of all, you have an increased risk of "tearing." Plenty of skinny people tear, but I would like to get as many odds in my favor as possible.

I figure it will take me some time to get to a satisfactory weight before getting pregnant. That's fine and that's why I want to do it now. I don't want to catch baby fever and then be forced to diet and wait months or years while I get my act together. I want to have my act together so when the time comes, I won't have to wait.

I never had to think about it because I was fairly sure I wanted to be done with school first. I will be done with school in a couple months, so I will have to start thinking about what will determine when we actually go for it and decide to become parents.

Stuff Your Face!

In the days leading up to my decision to really commit this time, I was paying more attention to my behavior.

I love the feeling of my mouth being overstuffed. I love cramming as much food will fit in it...when it's certain foods - like popcorn. I love cramming it in.

Is that weird?

I just thought I would share.

P.S.

I just want to add that there was a table at school giving out free cupcakes. I took a free pen/highlighter instead and went on my way.

I NEVER walk away from free food. So, do you believe me now?
