So I failed for the last three weeks. I've had a bit of stress and fell into the chocolate cravings. I think it is understandable considering the chemical pregnancy I had. Yes, most of the weight I gained back I did so last week wallowing in self-pity.
Today I went back to my diet of calorie counting. It isn't so bad. I finally recalled the foods I was eating back in 2011 that helped me stay full and lose weight.
Fage yogurt with honey added
Unsalted nuts
Diluted Tart Cherry Juice
Low calorie bread for sandwiches
Homemade mini pizzas
Hot cocoa in the evening to stave off my late night chocolate cravings
Other than the above I carefully measure and calculate what I can eat. Well yes I do calculate the calories per serving of the above foods too but I think you understand what I'm getting at.
I'm hoping to have back off the almost 6 pounds I put back on recently and of course take off at least 20 more before the donor egg cycle has become a FET.
I've got to stick with this. I'm a 34 BMI and though that number is within guidelines it isn't a healthy BMI. I need to get back to my 30 BMI and under to make myself happier. I need to feel good about how I look and know that I'll have a better chance at a healthier pregnancy.
I can do this. All I ask of my readers is to send me support often to stay the path even when things don't go as I planned. I'm an emotional eater.
Good luck! I've fallen off my diet recently too and I'm really struggling to get back on. But I know I can do this, and so can you :)
ReplyDeleteSo far so good. Lost 1.2 lbs over night.
DeleteGood luck on your diet.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes with the weight loss. I am struggling with weight gain from this cycle and with my PCOS makes losing weight SO hard. Ugh!
ReplyDeletePCOS is the dickens. I was diagnosed with that in 1995.
DeleteOH do I feel you!! This week was not a good week for me either! Stay strong!
ReplyDeleteDo you still post to any of your blogs?
Deleteyes its been rough lately. Imade a post about it. Its linked to this user
Deletethe explanation post has a pic that says "gone kayaking"
DeleteI'm sending you the strength I can! I am not an emotional eater, but I AM a hormonal eater. The progesterone makes me hungry, and having my period makes me crave chocolate at night and greasy food, while Lupron would make me nauseous and kill my appetite.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to drink cocoa tonight, that's a really good idea!
Hot cocoa just before Downton Abbey last night did the trick for me.
DeleteSelf pity eating sucks, and I know because I've done it. A bunch. Keep at it!
ReplyDeleteTrying to do just that. 2.8 lbs off in two days. Wish it would always come off this easy.
