New Year. Happy? Well I don't know. After a pregnancy scare in December, I was thought "here i am, pregnant again, with still 30 lbs to loose after having Gabe". Great, I was going to be one of those moms with 3 kids and weight 300 lbs from not loosing baby weight between babies. Not want I want for me or my children.
In the past, i have done weight watchers, which works. But I cannot unfortunately afford to do that again, so I am left with my own accord. I bought a body bugg, which calculates my calories burned, and i am keeping a food journal. Basically, calories in must be less than calories burned to loose weight. Simple, right?
My only fear/issue/problem is because we live with Mike's parents, I don't have a lot of control over the food coming into the house. But what i can control is food going into my mouth, so that is what I am going to do. I did buy a few diet friendly groceries, so that should help.
Every day I am going to celebrate small victories and yesterday (day 1) i did have one: Mom cooked chili, sloppy joes, hot dogs for dinner. I passed on everything except 2 hot dogs, no buns. Nobody even noticed! And I felt great about my small victory. I am charging the camera so I can get a before photo, but my "before" weight is 171.
What got me here and not being able to take the weight off up until now? Well, stress is probably a big factor. Also, is unhappiness with life in general. Plus, my medication for my OCD hasn't been right up until about 2 months ago when I started on prostiqu.
So today's small victory hasn't happened yet, but it will.....
Update: today's SV was that I played with Gabe at an indoor playground for over an hour (hey, it counts as exercise!)
