So I am a little over a week into the diet and I have not cheated once nor have I had the urge to cheat. Strangely, I really havent had much cravings either. I have however craved pizza and BREAD. Oh gosh do I miss bread. But really, whenever I see people eat something all I can think is "That is SO unhealthy". For example my mom was eating corndogs the other day and the smell of it actually made me queasy! I had to hold back from saying "you should really eat healthier foods" because I knew it would hurt her feelings.
I've been weighing myself every morning which I know is a big NO NO but I just can't help it! Its so amazing to see those numbers go down. Today I decided I'm going to stop doing that because I dont want to see the scale stuck at one number and get discouraged. I havent lost enough weight for it to show yet but I am very excited for that part! I talked to my family today and my reward for losing the weight is going to be family photos. I'm not much of a pampering type of girl. And I am a photographer at a local portrait studio so photos are my life! We have never gotten a family photo so it will be nice to get everyone together. I'm so excited that I've already been planning out all the different poses and things I want to do. I've also talked to my boyfriend and we will be going to the beach when I lose all my weight too....because I will finally be able to PROUDLY wear a bathing suit in public....no over shirts or anything. I know it will probably be next year before we go but I am still excited. Saying that seems so impossible but I have faith in the diet...and I will have even more faith by the end of the month.
I went shopping today for nifty kitchen applicances which was hard because I am so cheap! Everything I want I always stare at for a good ten minutes and think "Do I really need this?". For example I wanted to buy one of those slicers..which wasnt that expensive..but all I could think was..."I can just do this with a knife and save the money for something better"....which turned out to be a $13 magazine on conspiracy theories. Where is my logic? I'm not sure. This also stems from being on my own since I was 16 so I'm used to watching my spending. Sometimes I wish I could just let go and buy what I want instead of feeling guilty afterwards.
Today I made spaghetti squash which didnt go so well. I did not expect it to be so hard to cut open! That ginsu knife is supposed to cut through steel but cant cut through spaghetti squash! It was pretty comical, though. My squash looked like it had been through some rough times afterwards. I couldnt find a dish that was big enough for the squash but small enough for the microwave so had to hack away at it to try to get it down to size. Definitely so julia childs here.
I had to work later than normal today so that through my whole eating schedule all out of wack so now I am STARVING and have to wait another hour before I can snack. :( I hate that.
Well, until next time
