I posted on my main blog about being overweight and how it's dragging me down. Well, I need to do more than make a single post about it, so I'm going to use this blog to try and keep some accountability on my efforts. I'll post my feelings about the journey along with keeping tabs on what I eat and how much I exercise. So, here ya go:
Food:
Breakfast - 1 cup OJ, 1 pkt. Quaker oatmeal, cinammon and spice flavor, 1 Sweet N Salty bar with peanuts and chocolate on the bottom.
Lunch - 2 pieces of leftover pizza, sausage and onion, and 1 pack of FF Jello pudding, chocolate.
Snack - 100 calorie snack pack of popcorn
Dinner - a bit (ok, a lot) too much spaghetti with Prego sauce and shakey cheese. At least I use the Barilla Plus spaghetti for a little bit of fiber.
Dessert - 1 WW Smart Ones cookie dough dessert.
Drinks - water and Diet Pepsi
Exercise:
Went to Curves and did my 30 minute workout. Got my heart rate into the recommended zone.
Thoughts:
I had to go return something at the mall and popped into Mervyn's. After wandering the store looking for their Women's section, I finally found the measly selection of oversized clothing that I currently require. Because my weight gain is so recent, I have no warm weather shirts that fit properly, and I need a few things to wear to work. I bought 5 shirts that match the few pairs of slacks I have. I didn't really want to have to buy "fat" clothes, because it brings me out of denial about my weight and also because I feel like buying clothes is an investment in my figure. But having clothes cling to me is not comfortable, so new shirts it was.

I recently have been gaining quite a bit of weight. This week mentioned it to the doctor and was told that cutting calories and food portions greatly will help. Two slices of pizza are loaded with calories she told me and I was not happy since I love pizza. So, I'm on day number two of my new diet and so far (for the most part) I'm being really good. I'm eating half the amount of food at meals and making sure to eat three low calorie snacks inbetween. I do get a little bit hungry at times but I think I just need to adjust my eating times. Good luck on your weight loss.
