So I'm ill, the thing people losing weight dread the most and I'm afraid to admit I'm not doing so well. I haven't massively overeaten or anything but I've been unable to exercise, which makes me sad and paranoid that I will put on lots of weight.
I'm hoping to be better by tomorrow but you never know with these things. I don't want to be ill on Christmas day. I don't want to miss seeing my Grandparents.
Not been keeping on top on my calories as much, but as I don't have a lot of bad foods in the house, it's hard for me to snack too badly. I think preparation can help avoid temptation. Having no bad food in the house means I have to consciously go out and get bad food, which in turns deters me from getting it.
I think that is why people put on weight at Christmas because there is so much food around and available to eat.
Just got to try and not eat it.

Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI don't have many bad foods in my house either but at work I am surrounded by it! It's awful and so hard to resist.
I had the flu last year on Christmas Day (and for 2 weeks afterwards!) which totally sucked but the only positive was that it was the first Christmas in a long time I had lost weight! haha
This is how I used to lose weight. Cheating on my diet but exercising. When I stopped exercising through being busy or an injury, I put the weight back on. In my 20's I lost 70lbs through running but then had a really bad knee injury and put it all back on, and more.
ReplyDeleteThis time, I am losing weight through a diet.. I was unable to exercise in Sept for 3 weeks and still continued to lose weight. Counting your calories and remaining under xx is key for me.
How I get past the food available is to learn what most items are in calories and that item then becomes a number. That 1" cube of fudge is more than a full salad with a nice dressing etc.
I am sure you will make the right choices :) your health is way more important! Good luck!
I like your comparison:
ReplyDelete'1" cube of fudge is more than a full salad with a nice dressing etc.'
Really makes you think!!! :o
Hope you feel better soon sweetie. It is a good thing to avoid temptations by not making them available.
ReplyDeleteI try to pack lots of fruits and veggies at this time of the year. It makes it easier to eat less junk.
Merry Christmas!
