Hunger Hunger Go Away

Firstly, I have had a little play around with the blog set up? What do you think of the new look? I like it,  I think it is more involved.

 

I am so hungry today. Do not know why. I got on the scales today and yesterday and guess what I saw... 201.6lbs! I was so happy! Just need to keep it there or see it get lower. Also today I discovered I can pull down my suit skirt without undoing it! When I bought the skirt just over 6 months ago it was tight so I am really pleased about that. The problem is that the skirt is now sitting really low on my hips so I really need to check when I bend over or am sitting down in the office!!!!

 

 

 

Today I am starving and noticed it was the same yesterday, I don't really know why but think it may be because I didn't eat very well on Monday and yesterday and today I have had chocolate so have got all that "bad food" nutrition whizzing around me. In the office kitchen we have a few snack sizes of Cadburys chocolate like Crunchies and flakes etc and I have been eating them. They are only 80 calories a bar but that isn't the point. I notice that when I have had one I want more and not just for that day but for awhile after. I know alot of people say that these kind of foods are like a drug and take awhile to get out of your system. The good things is that they are nearly all gone and once they have gone I won't have anymore. I am 100% the kind of person that if it there I will eat it and if it is not there is out of my mind.

 

Last night I also had a small revelation, I cooked what I thought would be a healthy dinner for me and Biggy and when I sat down I looked at it and realised that in essence it was healthy but the way I had cooked it made it quite unhealhty. The problem is that our kitchen where we live at the moment is tiny and we have the very basic implements. We have a tiny oven but no grill and there is only space to cook one dish at a time,we also have 3 gas rings but one doesn't work...that is it.

 

I cooked vegetables in the oven, carrots, aubergine and peppers with garlic (LASHED IN OLIVE OIL) served with baby potatoes thinly sliced and fried with onion (FRIED IN OIL) and pork medallions (FRIED IN OLIVE OIL)

 

When I sat down to eat all I really saw was OIL! When we move into the flat I will be able to cook alot healthier as what I should have done is Steamed the vegetables, cooked the pork in the oven and I would have still fried the potato but my oil intake would have been more than halved so would have been ok!

 

Tonight I need to be extra good with dinner as I did over do it at lunch with the chocolate but we are going over to the flat to paint so will hopefully burn some extra calories doing that. Then the plan is to be super good tomorrow and over the weekend so on Monday I can see 200lbs. I tell you when I see that on the scales it will be such a big achievement for me. It will mean I am saying goodbye to the 200's for ever and welcoming with open arms the 100's.

 

I think that sometimes I don't realise what I am achieving. I read a number of other blogs or articles where people have lost over 100lbs and I think wow, well to have lost 20lbs or so is nothing. But it is. I am at my half way point, in fact I am over my half way point (by 4oz) and 20lbs is alot of weight. I don't want to blast my own trumpet but those of us on a journey have to remember to celebrate the little wins and not just focus on the end goal...especially me!

 

 

How is everybody else doing? What are the plans for the weekend?
