Losing Amber - A Weight Loss Journal

I'm a 28 year old Mommy to two boys. I recently had my 2nd baby November 2006 and now I'm ready to battle the pounds and reach my goals. I plan to use this journal to post my successes and moans on the battle to a happier, healthy body.

19th's menu

Yesterday I had the following...

Oatmeal/raisin breakfast

South Beach Wrap kit - Chicken Ceasar with Avocado
12 baby carrotts, hummus
2 Ferro Rocher candies

of course thoughtout the day I've drank a ton of water, at least 3- 16oz bottles, I loose track once I get home but then I'll have one or two more huge glasses of water.

20oz Diet coke with ton of tice.

Apple & Peanut butter

Fish fillet (not breaded), 4 perogis, broccoli

1 - white choco, macadamia cookie

Not too bad. I'm the same weight today.

I'm trying incorporate what I was reading about yesterday. I checked the book, Small Changes, Big Results, out of the library. In week two it says to become mindful of eating. You should rate your hunger on a scale from 1-10. 1 is completely starving, 10 is busting at the seams full. You should keep your hunger between 3 and 6. 3 is starting to get really hungry, 6 is the full feeling.

Write your ratings of hunger next to your food journal entries.. How hungry were you before and after.

This morning I ate a Slimfast Breakfast bar on the way to work. I was pretty hungry before that like a 4. After I was a 5. Ideally satisfied. Once I got to work I debated should I eat something else to tide me until lunch? I decided not to. I just wasn't hungry, I was still satisfied. So maybe if I think more along those lines it will help me make better choices also.

Last night was a frustrating night. I went to Old Navy, they are having a great sale. I've had pants of theirs before and they fit really good. I picked up a pair I thought was the same. Go back to try them on and they didn't fit right. Then in the dressing room light my legs just looked so ugly. I don't know what they hell happened when I turned 26. I may weight the same but its like in the last few months my fat is depositing differently. I"m getting what Bill calls "Butt Gnomes" that little extra fat deposit on each side of the top of your butt. The sides of my legs are getting wider also...saddlebags. I don't get it, I weight the same! Why me? Why couldn't I have been born one of those women where it comes easy? Why couldn't I be one of those who give birth and look the same afterwards. **side note - I always refer to those people as psycho. Seriously almost everyone I know in real life that is naturally thin is a little crazy. So maybe I would rather retain a little weight ha ha.

I was lamenting to Bill and he said, well do something about it. Easier said than done. No one understands, every day of my life I think about loosing weight. Every day. Not one day goes by that I don't. Except for when I was pregnant. I just want to loose it so I can quit thinking about it so much.

    I know exactly how you feel about thinking about your weight every day. I do the same thing. Heck, I'm still doing it now and I'm 8 months pregnant! I used to have a great metabolism but when I hit about 26 or 27 it all started to change. It's very frustrating....
