I have my days when i feel like im on top of the world and my day is going super well, i have eaten good and drank all my water and then there are days that my husband, who is in amazing shape, can eat whatever he wants and eats in front of me and i just want to take a bite of that burger or burrito or rice or pasta and look at my plate and go "this ain't gonna cut it". but he runs to the next room with his food and closes both doors and eats away from me. this is going to be the hardest ever. we use to eat our meals together and i would cook for him. but for the next 10 weeks and 2 days i will be cooking for 1. i did cook him a teriyaki chicken breast and pasta roni and when something falls from the dish to the counter i just usually scoop it up and eat it, but this time i couldn't! it was sooo hard!!! the hardest was when i made him chocolate cupcakes (thank goodness i made them the day before i was headed out for housesitting), but they were still there when i got home. also when he eats ice cream and cookies and all the sweets i love, its soo hard to resist them!!!! i sometimes think to myself, what if i cheat just one day??? i can start tomorrow again right??? what is it really going to do to me???? but i ask the questions and don't find out the answer. i stick to the diet and keep on chugging away. im already down 11.4 lbs and tonight is the end of day 13. so im very proud of myself. although i got asked "how many calories do you eat in a day?" and i didn't have an answer! i have been trying to count but has anybody counted their calorie consumption yet??? if you have, i know that EVERYBODY'S is different but to just get an idea on what others are eating in day! and if anybody has some good quick recipes that they would like to share! im open to hear them!!!
