Well well well.....lookie who screwed up again! I quit smoking, I should be able to quit eating so damn much. Seems like I'm just craving the heck out of my Lays BBQ potato chips, but I'm not eating them. Instead it's like I keep eating everything/anything else but the craving is still there so I eat everything/anything else again. I almost feel like I'm eating MORE since I started this than less. Then I run my calorie progress calculator, and find that it's not working. I needed to go back to each day since I started and add another 800 calories to bring it to a correct number. I thought to myself that this was because I'm now over 40 and I bet my metabolism has something to do with it. I found a website that shows how to calculate for your metabolism slowing down but I couldn't understand the formula. So I saved it for later and I will work it out in time.
Anyhow...here's the deal. I've been "dieting" (using the term very very loosly) for 21 days and have lost only 1 pound. In the time I've been dorking around with this I've lost weight, put it back on, and lost it again. I' will continue to keep track of what I'm doing here, but I need to put on my thinking cap and work out why I'm having so much trouble with the snacking thing. I find myself spending minutes upon minutes in stores looking at the snacks, picking them up, putting them down, having conversations with them in my head. In the end, I win and put them back and walk out without them, but then come home and eat 500 calories worth of nuts, because it's not satisfying my crave.
This sucks!
I'll post my calories later.
