With watching myself, I have managed to bring my average daily calorie intake down to 2200 this week from 2400 last week. This is still 100 higher than my current goal of 2100 per day but is, nonetheless, 200 better.
I hate keeping track of what I eat. You have no idea! I like food better than just about everything. I wish I was one of those skinny people with a blast furnace for a metabolism who could stuff anything I fancied into my piehole and chow down without thought! But nooooo! I have to think about whether or not to eat the second cheese stick. Forget it. I can't eat just one of those. So I eliminate something else that I don't like as well from my food list for the day and eat two of them, chopped up, with some baby carrots and a serving of the Snyder's Oat Bran Pretzel Sticks, all drizzled with a couple tablespoons of Italian type dressing. The kind with oil. Because Italian dressing made with water isn't Italian dressing, it's a crime!
That's a pretty good snack, especially for someone who used to sit and eat an entire bag of cheesy puffs or mini chocolate candies or cookies all by her lonesome.
Considering the fact that for a long time I was probably averaging at least 3000 calories a day and have come a long way in just a month, it's discouraging to be losing weight so slowly. Sure, I could starve myself and lose a bunch of water weight and then get hungry, frustrated, and eat a large pizza plus a bag of cheesy puffs plus a couple of huge slices of chocolate cake, but that's the route I used to take and it led me on the path to self-destruction. So I won't do it again. No starvation, no bingeing.
But damn my underactive thyroid, 41-year-old metabolic rate and fat genetics anyway!
My maternal great grandmother was 5 feet tall and weighed 300 pounds for much of her adult life. Many of my female relatives on my mother's side tend to be heavy and also tend to have thyroid problems and depression. So you can see that the Fat Deck is HEAVILY stacked against me!
But so it goes. I'll just keep battling on and maybe someday I'll actually get there. Not skinny. Just acceptable to me.
Peace and Fitness,
