Well, I was supposed to start today but decided to wait. My friends and I are doing a weigh loss challenge starting on Monday. I think that's a good time. Especially since I was late and grumpy and felt I "needed" McDonalds. At least they were out of hash browns and saved me from those calories. I just weighed myself and I am actually 229. Not much better, but I don't want to make it appear as though I have lost more weight than I have by flubbing my starting weight.
I think I have to get to the root of my food issues. I have had problems with my thyroid and anxiety for years which never helped my eating habits. I would have trouble stopping or feeling full. I would obsess about food and the nearest place to get some. I think years of those habits are my biggest problem now. I need to break the cycle and figure out the proper time to eat. The proper amount to eat. Healthier food comes in there somewhere but for now, I think portion control is important. It's all basic math, calories in calories out. So for now I's watching those. And in that making choices that hopefully lead me to foods with fewer calories. My 700 calorie breakfast this morning is a perfect example of that. If I was adamant about eating McDonalds, I could have chosen the egg McMuffin for like 300 calories instead of the two sausage burritos.
Hopefully putting all of my dirty laundry out there for my friends and family, along with any one else who may stumble across my blog, to see will make me more accountable.
