Well the weekend has come and gone and here's my story:
Friday I allowed myself some Culver's cheese curds, the one item that has been at the top of my 'want' list. After a couple of low calorie days I was feeling a bit shaky and thought that would be an appropriate time for the extra calories. Normally I would have ordered a double cheeseburger and a large concrete mixer or two to go with them. Within the hour I had an, um, "accident" at the grocery store. Despite the humiliation it was confirmation that my body has already become accustomed to the good stuff I've been giving it after two short weeks. Was it worth it? Maybe. They were good and it got wanting them out of my system. Plus I was proud of the self-control I exhibited in ordering.
When I arrived at my parents house with my whole grain waffles and peanut butter I was met with questions and goodies galore - both of which I resisted. They were also out of my bottled water. :(
Saturday I started my day with my usual breakfast and was given some snarky comments. By evening I threw such a fit when they didn't want to go out to the dinner I'd been planning for weeks that I went to bed without anything. (This was not an unhealthy response to being denied the food but rather a protest of their actions). They didn't know how forward I was looking to it. See, I won't tell them about my weight loss until it becomes too noticeable to deny as they are the ones who damaged me the most by repeatedly telling me I was fat as a little girl (when I was far from it) and at times even making my weight an ultimatum for their love. My mom had gastric bypass and promptly gained 100 pounds back so I have a fire to prove to everyone that I have the willpower to succeed on my own!
The takeaway here was to bring even more food/water with me next weekend. I also started thinking ahead about upcoming special situations so that I could plan accordingly and have something more concrete to look forward to. In October I will have the local Fall Festival, a day trip, and an MS event at Biaggis and November will bring another MS event and of course, Thanksgiving. Knowing and planning for this will give me an incentive to eat at home and keep to my plan the rest of the time.
Sunday was pretty much back to normal. Woke up, mowed the lawn (most activity I've had since starting), watched the Colts. I did go over my calories slightly for the first time but I felt completely satisfied, not stuffed, and prepared to move full steam ahead.
I also ordered myself a running belt and can't wait for it to arrive! Not that I have any intention of running mind you, but because I use the inconvenience of storing my keys and phone as an excuse not to walk. With the nice weather lurking I want to get out and take advantage of it so hopefully this will make it more appealing.
Have a good week friends and thanks for listening!
