And then life happened...

Well things were going well, and then life happened. I went to Calgary for 5 days to first visit Dallas and Shannelle and then to work at a hair show. I went shopping for food the first day that I got there so that I would be able to stay in control. That worked great for the first two days. Then my lunches were pre made, and given to me at lunch. I tried to make the best decisions I could, as well I tried to bring along some extra veggies I had with me. But it was tough to stay on the plan when I didn't know what I would be eating. Also eating out in the evening was hard, because I wasn't always sure what I would get. But I think I did okay. In fact I know I did okay. because when I got back I weighed in exactly the same as when I left. I then lost another 2 lbs that week, which brought me down to about 14 pounds. I then weighed in last Saturday to find out I had gained a pound. I wasn't sure why, but I wasn't that worried about it. Then thanksgiving happened. I was given the advice of eating all my free veggies during the day and saving my meals to combine into one big meal. This was awful advice. By the time I got to eat my big meal, I was so hungry that I felt totally deprived. I did not cheat, but I was also getting grouchy about trying to eat so well. On the Monday I lost it. I cried because I felt so unsatisfied. I wanted to badly to enjoy a few more starchy foods. So I did. And when I went to get weighed in this morning It was obvious, because I gained another pound. I hate feeling like I am still hungry when I know I am just not satisfied. I am back on track, but wish that instead of taking the advice of eating the free veggies I would have actually scheduled the meal into my day or even eating what I wanted and then got back on the next day. But instead, I feel like I missed a yummy Thanksgiving supper. I just hope that I can get back on the losing train soon.
Until next time,
Cindy
