Almost four months out....

Aug 04, 2010

In two days it will be four months since I was switched and I'm struggling the last week or so. I'm craving carbs so bad and no protein satisfies me at all. It's been a real struggle. My weight loss has slowed the last few weeks. On days when I have upped my carbs a little - I have lost. Maybe I'm not eating enough? I get about 900 calories a day and absorb about 350 to 400 of those. Or maybe it's the freaking heat! Who knows. The carb craving is aweful though. I just wish I could take a little vacation from my DS for a few days and get it out of my system and then get back on the bandwagon. My total weight loss to this point is 94 pounds. I was hoping to hit 100 by four months but I think I'll miss that one. I slowed way down in July as far as weight loss is concerned. I may need to add some additional exercise but once again - the heat lately is zapping me. When will fall be here? Not soon enough - i have my first post DS trip coming up in October. I'm actually going to get on a plane and fly to Boston to meet my husband for the weekend. He is there for a conference and I'm going to fly in on Friday and we'll stay until Sunday and see the sights. I love Boston and haven't been in so long. I'm nervous about flying though. Even though I've lost a lot of weight, I'm scared I'll still need a seat belt extender or will spill over my seat and be embarassed. I'm hoping I can just make it through the flying part - plus I hate flying since I'm a complete control freak and I have no control of a plane.

Well, here's to another month. Maybe my weight loss will pick up this month - though I do have a lot of birthdays this month and a small bite of birthday cake on Sunday really hit the spot!
