Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining and I am not about to go off plan. I am just stating the reality of my personal situation. It's very strange to be living without the constant food and the thinking about what I want, going to get it and then eating it.
I am enjoying all the food I eat, that's not it. It's like a friend who you e-mailed back & forth all day and then all of a sudden she quits e-mailing you. Something's missing. I assume over time I will get used to it.
Yesterday was good. I went to water aerobics and stuck to my calorie limit!

Can I just say how PROUD I AM OF YOU!!!!!!! I stumbled upon your blog when I was looking through blogs of my twin moms thinking "I wonder if anyone else I know has them!!" Anyway - it was SO awesome to see you last weekend and I am SO PROUD of you doing so well this last week!! GO SANDI!!! Love ya!!! :) HUGS!! Ang
Sandi - when I get that "I want to be around food" feeling, I've got a whole list of alternatives...lately, it's been entering healthy recipes into my Tastebook account. When my mind is focused on food, fighting it doesn't work for me. As long as I focus it in a non-eating direction, I'm good.
I totally get the food as entertainment. Not much different from an addict having to score a hit, when you think about it. I hate to think about it that way, but when you said, planning to get your food, you hit the nail on the head. Sad but true. I did feel like a patient on prozac when I stayed on plan - where are the highs, there are no more highs. I was just on monotone, boring, easy, the way everyone else must live, monotone. Time to take up drinking!!! lol just kidding
Hey - congrats on your 14 lbs. I definitely hear what you're saying about MISSING FOOD. Sometimes, I still miss it but it really does get easier! You sound a little like me - a boredom eater (I trace it back to my latchkey childhood, nothing to do in the afternoons but eat eat eat). I just try to stay busy, keep my hand moving to my mouth with tea, chew gum. I schedule a LOT of work meetings in the afternoon so time goes by faster.
Hi Sandi! What's cooking for today? :)
