Had a successful eating day yesterday. I feel so happy to be back on track (again). Today a friend wants to celebrate her birthday at Five Guys AND lunch is being provided at work so I decided to enter all my food now to see where I would be at the end of the day if I eat the food that is available. I thought it was going to be horrendous once it was all entered but really, now I know I can go forth and still stay within my caloric limit. Granted, the food might not be the most nutritious but I find that when I'm trying to refocus I have to start with keeping the calories in check and THEN I can focus on whole foods. I also know that if I hadn't taken the time to do this today, I could have easily FAR exceeded my caloric limit by not paying careful attention to the little "extras" that I know will be available today as well both at work and at dinner. This way, I've entered what I know I can eat making careful choices not to include all of my options (i.e. cheese, mayo, fries, pasta salad, coke). That probably seems like a no-brainer to most but sometimes if I think I'm already having too many calories, it's easy for me to think, what difference is cheese, mayo, fries, pasta salad, coke, etc really going to make? Obviously, quite a big difference. I think it would have been difficult if I had entered the bare minimum of what I thought I was going to eat today and see the calories be over my limit--I would have felt a little discouraged. I'm thrilled to see (remind myself) that I can eat what others are eating and still be in control. Good reminder for me.
The good news is that since I started using FS last year around this time, I'm down over 20lbs. and even in my few months of absence from FS, I maintained the loss. Last year at this time, of course, I thought that I would have lost A LOT more (that was the plan, of course) but if I can lose another 20 this year and maintain taht additional loss, I'm still winning. Maybe slow and steady will help me win my race.
