wednesday today is the 27th day of my diet.
I am all consumed....
3-11-10 starting diet, 3-15-10 started counting calories....
how do people do it? for any length of time....
I don't understand how I am supposed to eat all that I am supposed to be eating on 1200 calories?
ok now I am whining....
no body is holding a weapon on me to do this right! I am doing it to myself.
I think about food all of the time!
maybe I should go up to 1500 calories, less weight loss but more food!!!!
there is always that option.:o
It is like I am challenging myself to be this strict....that it is only for a short amount of time....
I miss my blue berry beer....:(
tell me it is worth it!

I am exercising 3 times a week somaybe I should be eating more?

Beth,

Did you check an online chart for your weight and height and activity level to come up with the 1200 calories?

It's not really supposed to be a race.
Be patient with yourself.


Maybe plan for the beer three times a week on days when you exercise -- something like that.


You might check out Weight Watchers online. You can go to the message boards for free. If you pay to join you get the online journal and the rest of the plan. Or you might like to go to the weekly meetings. Their plan works for some people. If you have been successful in other group work, you might do well with this as well.

I think we focus on something new until it becomes a new part of our lives. You'll start thinking about other things.

yes I went to one site and did the enter in your weight and activity level and desire to lose 2 pounds a week and they said I should be eating
only 1,020 calories a day. to lose one pound a week is 1500 so I went inbetween. and yes you are right about the exercising. maybe I could plan on a beer after I get home from exercising.
thanks for the suggestion!
have a great day!

I have not done as good dieting this week. But it will get better.

I had subway yesterday. And then I had lasagna for dinner today.
I did have lunch but don't remember what.

I had donuts just a few for breakfast. So I'm off my diet a little.

I will need to find a way to find more good foods.

I'm tired of what I have to eat.

Dear Donna,
Are you the main cook in your household?
Are you out on the road during much of the day?

M.

I can be the main cook or my husband can. Right now its me.

And yes some days I'm on the road more than others.

On those days I eat nutritionally.

Donna

Dear Donna,
Are you saying you eat better when you are on the road than when you are home?

M.

I ate an 8 ounce rybeye steak!!!!
am afraid to look up the calories....yikes!
