Week 2- still doing it!

I know I haven't posted in a while... so here's an update - week one went okay (a few slip-ups, but the scale showed a 2lb loss!). Saturday was the beginning of week two, and I kind of went off plan for the duration of the weekend... :) I did all of my workouts though!!! so it wasn't a complete failure. And since I need to blame this on something - I blame it on TOM, and I'm standing my ground! I was pretty rediculous (and kind of funny), I could think of nothing but sweets and eating in general (mind you, I didn't have any kind of chocolate or sugar in eight days, and for me, that's huge!).

But on Sunday I had an NSV of sorts - I went into the grocery store determined to get chocolate, and I even held it in my hands for a while... and then I put it back and got coffee flavoured mousse (yogourt), which is half the fat of that choco bar. So yes, I went off plan, but it could've been MUCH worse.

I don't know why (well, I do), but the weekends are always so hard, and imposible to plan! *sigh* All you can do is try your best, right?

Now, for my challenge this week (btw, it seems I picked THE worse time for my six week committment, or, maybe the best, depends on how you look at it) - I'm having three of my wisdom teeth pulled on Thursday. Seems actually not so bad, right? Teeth are hurting, you can't eat, you'll loose weight... - wrong! Let me tell you, I amaze myself sometimes, but I can eat anytime, anywhere, in any situation. It is especially bad if I'm alone at home. If I'm in one of those "I-want-to-eat-and-I-don't-care" moods, I can eat non-stop. People tell me that they can't eat when they are sick (like a cold, or something), not me!

Anyhow, here's my game plan (see, I'm learning - I have to be prepared): I will make lots of nutritious soup (lots of veggies, and chicken, and mabe some beans - so I'll have my fibre, protein and carbs), and maybe a chilli (mainly for my DH). This way I don't have to worry about finding something to eat, or cooking! I'll let you know how it went next Moday...

After I ace this challenge, the next one is super-duper hard!!! Christmas with my family and parents-in-law! That will be the ultimate test of my will power.

A six week committment sounds like a good idea. It's not so long that it seems like forever, yet it's manageable (although, for me, right now, a one day committment is about all that I can manage.)

"'I-want-to-eat-and-I-don't-care' moods": That in such a concise statement of the mood that I get into when I'm binging. My challenge is to somehow remember that I really do care.
