So let's talk about today...

February 19th, I ate just over 2600 calories. This is not normal for most people. It's quite more than what I would need to maintain my weight and definitely more than I need if I want to keep losing weight. Well, sista, 2600 calories days won't get you where you want to be! I thought about not logging my calories on here today, but you know what, it's part of the deal. This blog is to help me and in many ways to keep me accountable. I don't know who is reading the blog right now, but I expect someday that this blog will be a great resource for people in the future. So whether someone's reading it now or later, I have to own it, own up to the fact that I overate badly today.   So as I try to analyze why (I do that about everything, a habitual overthinker), I know that my water intake has been shifty for the last week. I also know that yesterday and today I was hungrier than usual. I also wonder if the Set Point Theory is true. In brief, it's a theory that says that our bodies want to be at a certain weight and if you go below that, your appetite will increase as your body's way of making you get back to whatever that set point weight is. In a previous post I talked about how I've hovered on the 150s-160s border for close to a year now.   Whatever the case, I can tell you that between breakfast and lunch, I was really hungry and intentionally sought out an, ahem filling lunch. I could've, and should've, stopped eating for the day after lunch, but hubby had a rough day at work and wanted to go to Furrs Buffet. We went. I can tell you that today was one of those days where I was just tired of dieting. I try not to beat myself up about those days when I go off course and lose focus, but today I don't feel so great about 2600 calories. The only way to make myself feel better is to get it in gear and have a better day tomorrow. That's my goal, not to starve myself because today was bad, that's kind of eating-disorderish, but just to be more in control tomorrow. Here's to a better day, better DAYS ahead!
