No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
Well I HAD A MINI MELTDOWN IN THE GAS STATION
So this morning hubby and I decided to go to some yard sales and get my hd cable box picked up while I was up in the cities..... before we went hubby said stop at the gas station we need gas and I want to get something to drink... I was like okay. He said you want a fountain pop?? ( which is what I will usually drink) I am trying to stay away from soda. . . which is very difficult. So I said, no I dont want a soda Ill go in and find something. . . I went in there and I seriously stood in the aisle looking at all the drinks even taking some out and reading the "servings per container" and calories. Well basically as we all know most of those drinks have 2 serving per container. I could not find ANYTHING under 200 calories. I was so pissed. Even the chocolate milk that I will usually drink is a huge NO NO now that I know there is 440 F***ing calories in a little bitty container. I seriously wanted to cry in the middle of the gas station. The hubby came up to me asking what was taking so long... I was like DUDE I can't find one thing I can drink other than effing water. I ended up getting a yoohoo which was 220 god blessed calories. oh and it tasted like shit. So 220 calories later I have a bellyache from it and I am still thirsty. . . . Man. I do love losing the weight, but I really hate not being able to consume anything "normal" ......There is my rant.
I am glad I started really paying attention to my calorie intake but it is a little frustrating picking things up out of my fridge and pantry and having to put it right back and basically just deal with the pain of being hungry. haha I am whining like a baby. yeah yeah i know I can eat food just the right kind but honestly Id rather just not eat then eat most of the crap that I am "allowed" . . . BLAHHHHHHHHHHH on a positive note....I got up today and put on my jeans they were still buttoned and zipped because that is how I washed them.....I didnt even have to unbutton or unzip them to get them on....holy shiz! I guess it's all worth it in the end... lol

I think we've all had that moment! I was at the grocery store looking at chocolate. It wasn't pretty. But, and it's a huge BUT, it's a good step. Ignorance isn't any better. Remember it's not food you're fighting, just bad habits we've picked up. Awesome on the jeans! It is worth it.

Thanks girls.... I am better now! I have a full belly, Subway! I was just having a bit of a tantrum! Sharon, I do suck on a candy once in awhile to quench that sugar fix. Usually I have a jolly rancher, not because I particularly like them but hubby does so I have access if the need arises....which usually it doesn't. I don't know today was just upsetting to me I was thinking standing in front of the coolers,....is this how I am going to have to live the rest of my life counting calories..and the answer was most likely .... It's something I am going to have to learn to love. I can be dedicated as long as I keep getting the results and keeping the results!

It will get easier. You will get to the point where you know how many calories are in a "healthy" snack or drink and you will know that the "unhealthy" either tastes like crap or makes you feel like crap. I don't know how you feel about artificial sweeteners, but there are some yummy fruit juice spritzers out now that you can keep an eye out for. I personally like to have the occasional diet soda (diet dr pepper!)--but I know it is a trigger/spawn of the devil to some.

Oh, girl, I totally understand and it's so frustrating. Those moments are so trying. You feel like you're about to commit a mortal sin by choosing the fountain pop! I hate to say it but sometimes if you want and need it that badly, I would say just have it. Otherwise, you might go overboard later. I know you know all that. :)
The same thing happens to me every time I go grocery shopping. I pick up and put back more items than actually go in the cart just because of the nutritional value (or lack of). Sometimes I get so angry knowing that in the end what we can actually have that is healthy and filling is fairly limited. I think the challenge comes in the cooking - making scrumptious meals out of healthy stuff. Yes, and it's also developing good habits and leaving the others in the dust. For me, I don't even blink when I go in the convenience store. I just grab a bottle of water and go. BUT, stick a bottle of water and a bottle of wine next to each other and forget it!!!

If you get those little crystal lite packets and carry them in your purse or car, you can always add them to bottles of water and have something! :)
