This morning I weighed in at 164.6. I am fairly happy with that because a couple of weeks ago I weight around 168. After I had food poisoning I was down to 162 but I figure at least two lbs of water could account for why it came up. Right now is really the only time I've felt particularly hungry. I have decided that I need to wait another hour before I allow myself to eat anything again but that's still sticking with the plan. I think the majority of my weight gain is from lack of planning and possibly lack of eating.
One thing I did today was try on my bridesmaid's dress for my best friend's Katy's wedding. I cannot even come close to saying how disappointed I am in my body in that dress. Although it is a beautiful dress, I just don't like how I look in it. It makes me really wish I would have started this process a lot sooner rather than waiting. Oh well - hopefully I'll be in good dress shape by April 26th 2013 and continue it for the rest of my life!
As I went throughout the day I realized that a lot of my issue with weight comes not from being a foody of some sort where I really treasure how things taste but a lack of patience and of convenience. I also tend to wait and ignore hunger for so long that when I'm hungry I just want to eat as much as I can so I don't waste time eating again in the future. One thing I need to continue to get better at is spending more time eating my meals. Even as a kid our whole family would wolf down our food. This has been a habit that has carried over onto adulthood that I realize forces me to continue to eat even after I am actually full.
Chris (my fiance) is sitting here now so I figure I should get going. About to call and talk to my health coach through TSFL, Theresa Trella. Wish me luck on this journey!
