It's been awhile since I have blogged, I have been so busy! I will start out by saying I have cheated a bit in my diet. I am still eating healthy, but I have steered to those addicting Starbucks' Caramel Frapps! I have also been eating more in volume. I am disappointed in myself, but I am not going to cry about it. Nuh-uh, not me. I am getting back on track and just trying to move on.
I have not weighed myself lately because I was really swollen the last couple weeks, and of course I gained water weight. I will spare the details for any male readers...... ;) I will weigh myself next week to see what damage I have done and need to repair.
Back to those Frapps, I am now drinking the Light Caramel ones. They have alot less calories and fat and I do not feel guilty drinking one. I get the Venti size, and here is the breakdown comparison of the Original and Light:
ORIGINAL VENTI W/ WHIPPED CREAM
Calories 500
Fat 16g.
Sat. Fat 10g.
Cholesterol 60mg.
LIGHT
Calories 220
Fat 1.5g.
Sat. Fat 0g.
Cholesterol <5mg.
HUGE difference, right? It is so scary to realize what you consume when eating out. You don't realize what you consume while eating out, and possibly not even care. I hate not to eat out because that is what we do as a family. It's fun! There are not healthy restaurants around here, and I would love to start up one to cater to people like me who love to eat out, but are watching what they eat. I have been eating quite a bit of Subway lately, because it is the best choice around. I would love to see them branch out into healthy dining.....with meals and healthy desserts.
I want to thank those who have encouraged me on Facebook, it means alot to me. I haven't given up, just disappointed in myself for letting myself slip because of stress. I was swollen, my husband AND daughter was sick, it was wearing me down. I have decided I will incorporate counseling to help me with my journey. I need help to fight my cravings, big appetite, and emotional eating.
I have battled so much in my life alone, why can't I battle this?????? It is much harder than it looks, but it can be done. And, I can do it! I have WILL OF STEEL.
With all this said, I shall give you the.....

Splurge Day
Today was my Splurge Day! I didn't eat much during the day, so I decided today would be a good day for treating myself for my efforts. When I did my splurging, I am both surprised and elated that I didn't OVER-splurge! YAY ME! I actually like my new habits! I like being retrained from my old ways. It feels good. I feel good. I am looking forward to chewing away 172 pounds, nom nom nom you bad fat! That is what this blog is all about, not the usual idiomatic expression.
Today I thought about beauty. I am the epitome of "BBW", inside and out. In fact, all people have beauty, most don't know how or don't want to use it. I have come to accept myself as a Big, Beautiful Woman because that is who I am. Although, on the inside I am thin. That thin, or at least healthy woman will be coming soon. While I believe everyone is who they are, and should be proud of it, there comes a time when our downfalls must be dealt with. I have too many downfalls, but the major one is my weight. As I get older, it is affecting my body in a way that unsettles me.
I am lucky to not have high blood pressure and diabetes now, but the road I am going down doesn't guarantee I won't have those diseases say, 10 years from now. The buck stops here before it is too late. As my wonderful mother says, "Enough is enough, and too much is nasty!" I am completely overjoyed at me fighting temptation. Sure, this is the beginning of my journey, but I am on the right path, and that is ALL that matters.
Ok, here is my menu for today:

Hehe, by the way, I had my pity potty and flushed. I wasn't exactly discouraged, just frustrated.
Be yourself, love yourself, don't be afraid to change for the better. Here is the.....
