My Top Two Problems

 My top two problems as I am sure with a lot of people are 

#1 Proportion 

and 

#2 Not moving enough

The problems have been stated now for the solution

#1 Portion control

and 

#2 Exercise more & move more 

Solution #1

So now putting into action something that I have tried to do with calorie counting but this isn't working.

My Dr. wanted me to keep my calories to 1200. It is tough. I have read different trans of thought on eating several times throughout the day or just sticking to the three meals a day.

I think one of my biggest problems is that I wait to long to eat then I pig out on not so clean things or I just go to the fast food drive through and get a bunch of fatty stuff.

So for my solution that I am going to try is to eat more frequently (see if this works better) and have foods ready a head of time. 

It is funny I make lunches for my girls and for my husband but I don't plan out what I am having.

I am also going to the Dr. on Monday to find out what can be done for the side effects of the medicine I am on. I love that the medicine has made me so much better in areas but don't like the side effects. 

Solution  #2 

Making sure I move every day not just once a day but, a few times throughout the day. 

I would love to go for a walk outside but the anxiety about being out just keeps me inside. Yes I do have a treadmill but it is so boring and I hate using that word. So I will change up my moving to different things so I don't get to tired of the same old same old. 

Now that the pity party is over I feel better. 

I will check in and let you know how things are progressing. 

How do you deal with your pity party?

Pity Party Time

So I am having a pity party for myself. 

I have had a couple things come to my attention this week that have effected me. By effecting me I mean I went to fast food for comfort.

 Then I started having side effects from the antidepressant that I have been on that are not good at all. 

I have been feeling good and thinking that all was well then things stopped working in my body the way they were and causing major stress in me know. 

I am not sure if the stress of seeing the bank that I was at when it was robbed had caution tape all over it. Then read later that the person that robbed the bank had the same description of the guy that was there the day I was there. I know it sounds like such a small and insignificant day but to me it is a BIGGY! 

So I have fell off the wagon more than once.

I started on Tuesday trying a new cleaner eating and by night time I bombed.

Feeling disappointed in myself. Feeling weak and out of control. 

So now 

 The party is over. Time to go do some exercise and pull myself up and stop feeling sorry for myself.

Pity Party For ME

If you go to this post you can see part of my slight depression story. Then on Tuesday I really needed some new clothes to wear. I love buying clothes for my smaller self, but I am not that yet so I have to buy for myself at this time. I got a beautiful Spring dress with a lovely light cream sweater, a pastel green blouse, a green striped blouse and was so delighted with them. I got home feeling a little better from the retail shopping. I decided to try the clothes on. NOTHING fit! I was so upset that I started eating anything salty, sweet and fattening. I polished off the rest of my Easter Basket goodies that my hubby got me along with 2 or 3 cans of Diet Coke and a water bottle. I then faced the bloated feeling with a stomach ache and head ache from my binge eating. I was hating myself. Feelings of disappointment flooded over me. I then watched The Biggest Loser and felt even worse about myself and what I had eaten after seeing Tara looking so good in her make over. My pity party lasted till I went to bed. I fell asleep and woke up with a major sugar & junk hangover. I have completely fallen off the healthy eating band wagon. HELP!!!
I know what I need to do and have to get my plan to get my act together and Just DO IT! Pray for me. I was doing so good and feeling so good.
