Days 24, 25 &26

Jan 15, 2011

Well my blog readers, I have not been able to blog for the last couple of days. It's been a combination of bad timing, staying out late, illness and bad internet. I have been logging my food, and I've been eating pretty well.

Of the last couple days, only one really significant event has happened, and it did affect my cravings. My dog Marley had been pretty itchy the last couple of days, but yesterday morning I noticed he just kept scratching and scratching. I picked him up to look at him and I felt welts all over his body! I checked his tummy and he had a huge red, rash with pustules all over him! I felt so awful! I felt like a bad mommy for letting him get like that. I called work and asked to bring him in. I also brought my cat along since she had been losing some weight and I was concerned about hyperthyroidism.

Going into work was weird. A lot of things had changed, but in general the staff seemed happy to know I was coming back. I was embarrassed that they saw how bad Marley had gotten. But they took good care of him and he is on the mend.

As for my eating, the embarrassment and stress did make me feel more hungry and I was really temped to order chinese with Carlos. But, I ended up eating some more sushi instead.

Today was definately not the greatest eating day. It's really hard for me to resist when Carlos brings goodies into the house, and I had 8 chocolate chip cookies after lunch. I was really hungry when I woke up, and I had quite a few crackers with turkey and hummus.  It was really delicious, but I did over do it. The food itself is not bad for my, but I had like 4 servings of each. I need to remember to serve myself portions instead of eating out of the packages. That way, when i've had one serving I can stop and see how full I feel. I also have to quit drinking the full fat hot chocolate that Carlos go. It's one of the main things killing my calorie intake.

I was really hoping to be under 300lbs by the time I went for my pre-surgical bloodwork, and there's bo way that's going to happen if I keep eating the way I am.

I do have to give myself a pat on the back because I have been getting really good at not drinking while eating. I've been using a timing system as one of my OH buddies suggested. It's been working really well.

Well, that is all for now folks. I am going to finish up some stuff I have going on.
