Sorry it's been so long since the last entry. I wanted to wait until my nutrisystem food showed up for the month. Anyway, I'm sick which is actually making things easier, because I'm not as hungry. So score one for a chest cold i guess.
So last month didn't go so well, but that is the past. This month is a welcomed new beginning. Well since I'm not feeling to good, I will leave it at that for now. Thanks as always for all the love and support.

Sorry it's been a few days guys. Just haven't been in a writing mood. I found out on Friday, that over the last 3 weeks, I have lost 1lb. The good news is, I know what I did wrong so I can change it. Also, I cheated again. I had a burger. But again, there is a bright side: afterwards, I felt like crap. I felt bloated and disgusting. Like I got shot in the ass with a tranquilizer dart. This taught me the difference in feeling between eating well, and eating like I used to. It reinforced the fact that if I want to feel good, I have to eat well.
So yes, I am dissapointed in myself. But tommorow is another day. I can do this. I WILL do this. As always, I thank you all for the love and support.

Well I'm almost one month into the diet, and I have my second weigh-in tomorrow. I must admit, I am pretty nervous. I know I made some mistakes since the last one, and I'm just hoping that it doesn't reflect TO much in the numbers. However, I have prepared myself for less than great news. I know that whatever the number is, that's what it is. Whats done is done. Learn and move on. You must remember that when you change your lifestyle this drastically, you might slip up from time to time. It isn't the end of the world. I have realized recently, that the only mistakes, are the things you don't learn from.
Well I guess that's all for now. So again, I love you all, and words cannot express my appreciation for your love and support. Thanks for reading!

Sorry I've been gone a few days. Just wasn't in a writing mood. Anyway, I unfortunantly fell off the wagon this passed weekend. However, after reading some stuff on the Nutrisystem website, I have picked myself up, and I am back on track. This little detour has been discouraging, but I realized that these things will happen from time to time. I just need to move on and rededicate myself to health.
On a more positive note, my blood pressure has remained normal. This is the longest that this has happened in at least a year, so it makes me pretty happy. Remember guys: celebrate small victories. When your building your temple, realize the triumph of each brick as it is layed.
As always, thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the love and support.

Today has been rough.Feeling the hunger in full force. I'm tired. Im weak...I am growing impatient. This is week three, and I still feel hungry ALL THE TIME. Here's what sucks: If you want to quit smoking, you have the patch, the gum, and a pill. what do you have if you want to stop over eating? Water. As you might imagine...water ain't cuttin' it. If anyone has any tips on comtrolling hunger, PLEASE post them in the comment section.
Well my mind is racing at the moment so I apoligize for this entry being so short, and not very well written. And as always, I thank you all for the love and support.
ps. If you would all be so kind and get the word out about the blog, I would really appreciate it. Part of why I'm writing this blog is to help other people in a similar situation, so the more the word is spread, the better.

Todays tips are borrowed from all the 12 step programs:
First, take it one day at a time. Say to yourself, "TODAY I will eat right, and exercise". This will break down your diet into smaller, easier to reach goals, as opposed to the daunting goal of "I will eat right, and exercise every day for the rest of my life".
Also, if you fall off the wagon, DONT beat yourself up. All this will do is make you feel bad, and if your an emotional eater like I am, will cause you to continue over eating. If you fall, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start again. It doesnt make you a bad person or a weak person. It makes you human.
Finally, find a support system. find at least one or two people that you can call at any time when you are feeling like veering off the path. Find people that can support you with words of encouragement. I know personally, that without all my amazing friends, and incredible family supporting me in this, I would have allready quit.
So, I hope these tips help you guys, and as always, I thank you SO much for reading this and for your undying support in this journey. I couldn't do it without you.
