I'm really struggling today. No, I haven't been sleeved yet (that's still way in the future), but I'm trying to get my calorie intake down to 2000 so I can work my way down. I've been logging my eating into Myfitnesspal and it's already so over that I can't bring myself to log in the rest. Hopefully I'll do better tomorrow. I just am so shocked. I was trying to keep it down, but I get so hungry over the course of the day that I can't keep myself from eating, which is why I can't seem to lose any weight. I had no idea how much I was consuming. I'm sure I've had at least 2500 calories today, but I can't bring myself to type in the rest of my food and see. Oh, well. Tomorrow is another day and I'm sure I'll do better. I know where I went wrong today. Too much candy, too many processed foods, too little filling foods. I'm STILL hungry and I know I'll have to eat again because I have medications to take later that require being eaten with. SMH. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself. Getting in line is a process, it's not easy, and I shouldn't expect it to happen overnight. Hopefully preparing myself before I even see the nutritionist or doctors will set me up for success. I want to succeed, and I KNOW I can. I just have to have faith in myself and faith that God will see me through this. I know he wants me to be healthy.
Right now, when I get bored and have the urge to snack, I'm listening to music to stimulate my brain. It seems to be working. I'm getting paid for a painting soon, and I think I'm going to invest in some new songs for my MP3 player. I've found that I really love K-Pop, and they're great songs for working out. So that's my little tidbit for today. Try it out! It might help you when you want to eat, but don't need to.
