I'm really hoping this gets better because so far not good. I've tried the low carb thing but it took away my fruit and that's harder than giving up soda or cake!
I've tried logging calories but I feel like I'm starving on the MFP and Loseit recommendations of 1200 calories a day...
I went to my first meeting last night (which is why I consider today my first day. I had already eaten for yesterday before I decided to walk in and join) stepped on the scale and cringed at the site 215.8lbs this is nearly the most I've ever seen the scale read (221 at a dr appointment last year was my absolute highest) I'm going to admit my desires to lose weight are almost purely vanity...I want to wear cute clothes and being somewhere in limbo between the regular section and the plus size section of the store means nothing and I mean NOTHING fits my body correctly and every trip clothing shipping results in me crying because I look ridiculous. It's just bonus if losing weight makes me less tired/healthier/better able to take the stairs without wheezing.
The meeting reminds me of the AA meetings I've seen on TV shows and movies. I found it very stressful and scary but then again I'm not really a social butterfly and tend to get anxious around groups of people I might have to talk in front of. I signed up for a monthly membership and intend to give this a minimum of 3 months of my time before deciding if I think it will work for me.
Here's to plowing on through the day...hopefully lunch will be better.
