I think one of the reasons my weight has stopped dropping is I am snacking. Granted I am snacking for the most part healthy things, but still snacking and telling myself its OK because its low fat. After supper on my days off I always feel like I need to have a snack and I ate way to much popcorn last night. To many special k bars, to many celery with peanut butter sticks, to much everything except water which I have been real bad at for the last 2 days. Add that to not enough exercise because of my back and its adds up to no weight loss. This is the point where I have fallen off my plan in the past. The first 20 pounds just melts off, water, then the rest takes forever. I really don't understand why it isn't coming off. I have been journaling my food and have only twice gone over 2000 calories in the 2 1/2 months I have been doing this. Most days I average about 1300. I should try and remember what I would have eaten once and see how many calories I used to consume. My husband used to make me 3 to 4 peices of french toast and we had sausage with that. I would have 3 pieces of pizza. 8 ounce steaks. Potatoes loaded with cheese. 2 taco's. Not all in one day of course but I always ate to much at a sitting. I never was into fast food so that hasn't been a problem and don't have the sweet tooth my husband has, but could put away quite a few brownies when I made them. Now the way I eat is so much healthier, why isn't the weight coming off? I am exercising also, except for the last couple of days. I am really getting frustrated. Maybe I shouldn't have given up on the lap band so fast. I just don't want to have some drastic surgery. One of the girls at work had a gastric bypass and has lost about 45 pounds in the same amount of time it has taken me to lose 25. Without exercising! I like exercising though. Oh Well. Don't fall into this trap Julie. You gave yourself a year, use it, How's that for a pep talk.
Whine of the day! Slow weight loss
