Day 8

This picture is from my wedding day (about 3 1/2 months ago). I chose to post this picture cuz it's a contender for one of my worst angles. My arms just look terrible here. It's unfortunate because my husband looks so cute in it. That's what I want to change, the way I feel about myself.

So this weekend was a challenge because Tyler (my husband) was home. He decided that he was making perogies & bratwurst for his supper and I almost died with desire to eat them (despite the fact that the perogies were burnt). My dinner was a shrimp stirfry which did taste good but I couldn't stop thinking that I wanted to eat his food...so sad. Thankfully common sense & willpower prevailed & I still haven't cheated on this thing.

Tyler was pretty unimpressed with the lack of "real" food in the house (I didn't want it around to tempt me) and how he had to cook his own meals but he was a trooper and didn't complain, much! The weekend wasn't as challenging as it could of been though cuz he was away hunting for a fair chunk of it.

I've made it through an entire week, by taking this thing one day at a time. I need to keep reminding myself that I am in control & that if I really wanted to eat something I could. But the question to ask myself is do I really want to eat that stuff & knowly accept the consequences (maintaining or getting more fat).

I have found that I haven't had as much energy yet this week. Hopefully that will change in time.
