Doe----I agree that I have to own everything that I choose to eat. I appreciate your advice and assistance. I will be posting everything that goes in my mouth.
Zera's----I am surprising myself by not beating up on myself. I took my dd to the movies today, and had about half of a small popcorn. I chose to eat it, and I am okay with that. I hadn't had any significant carbs before it, and didn't have any after it. Even though my weight loss has been very slow this time, I think my whole outlook has changed more. I am more at peace. I realize that I can't go back to eating carbs the way I did before. It took almost all I had to stop myself from ordering a pizza tonight. I ate some ham salad and had a soda water/Atkins syrup drink. It helped me get through the craving.
I wish I could do as well as both of you. I am a mess of a person, so any improvements, even the small ones, are good. I have so many other issues............that the weight is just one of many. I am not feeling sorry for myself, just accepting things in order to deal with them. I am not sure which items to address first.
I hoped I hadn't been forgotten while I was away. It is amazing that others would actually look for my posts. It makes me feel special, not so alone. Thank you so very much. I don't feel like I have much to offer to others yet, but hopefully I can make someone else feel as good as you both have made me feel.
Food for today:
Breakfast: Low carb bar
Snack: 1/2 small Movie popcorn, large bottle of water
Lunch: Low carb bar
Dinner: TGIFridays--Atkins Salmon, 6 Atkins chicken wings, decaf coffee with cream, two or three large glasses of water.
Snack: 1/4-1/2 cup of ham salad, and soda water with Atkins syrup in it.
edit----another snack: cheese stick
Evaluation of food for the day---could have done better, but could have done a whole lot worse.
I forgot to pick up my thyroid medicine today. I have been off it for one week. Not a good idea. I will remember to pick it up tomorrow.
I have a new hobby--------knitting!!!!!!! I love it. I am almost done with my first scarf. I absolutely love that I have learned a new skill. It's wonderfully relaxing and fun, I might add. I can't wait to go the the knitting store tomorrow and show the lady what I have accomplished. I need a little assistance with the other scarf I started. Got mixed up somewhere and made some mistakes. She will help me get back on track.
