This week I had a doctor appointment and vented out my frustration about not losing weight. I have been religiously counting every calorie that gets near my mouth for the past month and I've only lost 5 pounds!
The doctor smiled sympathetically at me... we've been discussing my weight for the last 10 years so he's heard this song before. Unfortunately because I know the words so well I'm singing it again!
So he gave my a script for diet pills and said he's going to start monitoring my progress for the next 6 months. A discussion of weight loss surgery came up and while that's always been an option in the back of my mind I would really like to try and lose the weight without going under a knife. But in 6 months who knows what I'll think. Counting all these calories is liable to make me crazy by then!
Anyway, he gave me a script for diet pills which I started yesterday. They are wonderful! I have tons of energy and no appetite. By 11am I had half of my house cleaned... that includes getting on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor. It's like my house sings a happy tune when I walk into it now.
By dinner last night I realized I hadn't ate anything so I forced myself to eat a little - I mean I was at Olive Garden! How could you not eat their salad?!?
So my journal for yesterday is as follows:
Breakfast:
2 Glasses of Water
Lunch:
1 Diet Coke
Dinner:
1 Small Salad
1 Bread Stick
1/2 Caprese Flatbread (not even sure it was completely half)
2 Diet Cokes
Total: 651 Calories, 19 Weight Watcher Points
I know I should be eating more than that but it was my first day on the diet pills so I'm cutting myself some slack. And FYI.. 5 WW points in 1 salad. yikes!
Goals Today:
