The honeymoon is over! It sure was fun while it lasted though. I knew it would end eventually, and I was extra lucky that it lasted as long as it did allowing me to eat anything and everything I wanted and still lose and keep off a ton of weight for a little over two and a half years.
It's either time to buckle down or be a miserable cow. It's going to be hard. I do so love my junk food, and my nighttime eating is out of control.
This morning I weighed in at 116.0. I was not happy. That's an understatement. It's strange that for the most part my eating habits have not changed, but my body has definitely changed its reaction to them.
I did notice for the first time last night that I was able to eat an entire BLT as a bedtime snack. The whole thing! I usually am only able to eat half then eat the other half thirty or so minutes later. Not last night. Didn't get sick either. Was even hungry again not too long after. I'm always hungry!
Today I decided this has to stop. We'll see how that goes since I decided the same thing last week and was able to do a protein shake only day and drop 3 pounds. Went right back to crap eating and put two pounds back on the next day. I have to keep myself motivated. It's a little hard because 116 isn't fat. The hungry part of me says I still have lots of wiggle room. The rational part of me knows that's exactly how it all begins.
So I've had two protein shakes (200 calories 25 grams protein each) and two Oikos triple zero yogurts (120 calories 15 grams protein each) 640 calories 80 protein total so far today. Not too shabby! But... it isn't dark yet. The scale says 114.4 right now. I'm trying to keep myself motivated. But dang it, I'm going to be hungry, I just know it.
