Sugar Shock

So Diane got me thinking about something. One of the reasons I keep going to doctors is because I want answers. I want to know why even though I don’t eat much differently than most people and I’m certainly not sedentary, why can’t I lose weight?? I want someone to either tell me how I am different and what I need to do to change it or what I’m doing wrong. Am I just unwilling to see the real picture?

An average day…

Breakfast:

Wheat English muffin with either natural pb & a little jelly or egg and a slice of cheese (w/the english muffin).

Snack:

I rarely eat snacks, I think because I can’t find any that I really really like.

Water:

I’m horrible with water, in fact, should really go get my water out of the freezer.

Lunch:

A frozen lunch, a sandwich on wheat bread or maybe something from the cafeteria.

Dinner:

A frozen parmesan stuffed chicken with healthy pasta and sauce or maybe a hamburger.

Dessert:

I often pick one thing to have for a sweet at night, maybe a small ice cream sandwich. The last week or so I haven’t had any dessert.

That is an “average” day. Once and a while I get something from the vending machine. Sometimes I get takeout for dinner, either a salad or when I’m really hungry a hamburger with french fries. Sometimes it’s pizza.

I rarely go overboard. My biggest problem is bagels w/cream cheese, and I get those only once, maybe twice a week.

PS. The doctor stuff is not over, some things have come up lately that I’m sure are nothing but of course they have to be looked into. I hate little nothing symptoms that could be something so you have to have them checked out.

My day 2 food, a little better than day 1. My most annoying thing right now is my coffee, I'm so used to all this stuff in my coffee that I don't know how to take it all out, it tastes bland without all my fixings. I'm so frustrated by this that I keep thinking maybe I'll actually just give up coffee all together but then when the next day comes I get a coffee. It's pretty much the only way I get to work in the morning.

So I'm not sure what I'll do, haven't figured that out yet. So for now I usually spend about 2 points on coffee no matter what I get (other than my lovely lattes of course).

The hardest parts of the day for me are definitely between 3 and 5 and between 8 and 10 I think. I'm not sure why, maybe it's just a brain thing or when I'm most bored.

My main next goal is to fit back into the bras I have right now because I don't and had to suck it up and get old lady bras (which I've never worn, even before my breast reduction surgery) but I had to because my bras were causing me too much pain.
