MonaLisa...diary of confusion

I guess today was the official day 1? I've been playing around with eating better the past week or so, but today I actually ate the way that I should be eating...

Normally, lunch in the cafeteria is more convenient if it's a slice of pizza, pringles, fruit snacks, and probably a bottle of lemonade. Today, I opted for a small salad, a pear, and a bag of popcorn. Usually, I get hungry at around 4 (when I'm still at school), but today I didn't start to get hungry until nearly 6. That made me feel really great...


I think my biggest problem is the fact that I'm okay with myself. I don't know why I'm trying to lose weight. Maybe I'm not trying to lose weight? I know I want to feel better, and I know this will help. The thing is, I'm very opinionated when it comes to size acceptance, and I feel sort of like if I lose a lot of weight, I'll be a hippocrite when I'm trying to make my case....I don't know.

Opinions?
 
hiya,

welcome to the forum,

Its good to hear that your okay with yourself, i know that before i started i used to feel pretty awful sometimes. But losing weight to be healthier, thats not hypocritical. Anyway have a great day,

Hey Monalisa

Welcome to the forum. You know, loosing weight just to be skinny is not always the case. like jane said, loosing weight also means getting healthier, and it has all kinds of positive sideaffects too depending on your methods and results. Its also not just about loosing the weight, but changing your lifestyle. Whatever your reason is, you are going right by youself.
Have a nice day
 
No time... no time to work out... sick of salad...

My downfall is at night.

I've been eating good breakfasts, healthy lunches, and moderately healthy dinners, but when I'm costuming (my sewing machine is in the kitchen), I feel the need to snack. It's stressful, and eating keeps my mind off of how much I hate sewing? It makes sense, I swear...
 
hmm.. maybe put some low calorie and healthy foods out while you sew, so that if you do snack, you snack on something that is healthy for you.

oh, and losing weight isn't just about becoming skinny to get into the "fads" of the day, it's about being healthy, and happier, and just altogether better about life. :) Good luck!
 
Thanks a lot for the support, all. Really appreciate it.

Got some low cal/low carb snack mixes that are great...thanks for the tip. (I especially needed it with the costumes stressing me out like crazy)




Spent a perfect day with Anthony. Perfect. Snowball fight perfect. Made me think... how much I'll miss him. Then I got into the whole need to get in shape thing... I'm scared that instead of losing weight while he's gone, I'll miss him so much that I'll just want to eat all the time. Even if it's not all the time, I know I'll have bad nights where I'll just want to sit down with moose tracks and cry... tips of something else to do when I'm missing him like crazy?
