3rdOctober

Rahhh

Okay. Today went well. I did have a cheat yesterday, granted not a lot, but still a cheat.

I stopped myself today though, I stress-eat a lot. And I’m currently stressed about a midterm coming up.. I’d been studying literally all day with a group.. and when I came back into the dorm, I wanted to eat.
it was between 12-6 so I used up the rest of my milk intake and had cottage cheese. Still, later I wanted to eat a sandwich or.. whatever. Instant gratification. I’m not letting it happen anymore.. I eat out of stress.. I stopped myself because my thinking started moving towards “well I can just start up tomorrow and eat today”  but that’s how I gained back a little weight to begin with so I literally had to talk to myself in my head. I had to take a minute, think about what I wanted more, and think about how I’ll feel tomorrow.
I thought about upcoming Halloween and that this isn’t forever, and that was enough. I need to get through a full week for me to really be back.
I’m taking it.. a day at a time. I am going home tomorrow.. I want to buy Crystal light mixes and diet sprite that I could have if it gets bad. I’ve gotta stay on track. I’m going to work out maybe.. Sunday. I just want to get through these two days first and see how I feel. I’m pretty swamped with midterms (already!) and studying.. but I had to literally tell myself.. that stress will always be around and if I don’t get back on now, when will I? After I gain back more of the weight? No.. I’ve gotta finish this.
If I can get through the month.. I can start transition in November.. lol and my motivation food-wise is eating chicken lol.
Anyway, I’m going to relax with movies (my anti-food haha, seriously though, I had to look around for something else to do other than eat and it was watch movies =P and I also went onto the forums for inspiration to stay on track). I know I said I was feeling strong before, but it’s when I’m feeling weak and I overcome it that I stay on track so I mean we shall see.. Halloween is a great, workable time.. even if I don’t necessarily hit goal, I would still like to be smaller by then, or close to goal at least!

Day 1 back

Yay.
Today went well. Instead of starting with amilk day I decided to do a veggie day to ease into the transition back..
I went grocery shopping.. bought a bunch of fruits/veggies and frozen berries too that I can use for a smoothie.
I’m exhausted right now so I’ll write more tomorrow. I didn’t get to work out.. a lot of running around today, plus rain. I’m going to work out on friday for sure.
