I'm trying really hard not to get out of control with my guilt. Now that I have decreased my caloric intake considerably I am starting to feel like I am failing if I eat anything at all. And that isn't great.
This weekend was really great and super productive but I caught myself feeling guilty a couple of times for eating. I know that cutting my calories is the only way to lose weight, but I have to be careful or I will get a little crazy.
This morning I had to eat breakfast because I had to give blood for myself in preparation for my surgery. It wasn't anything terrible (what I don't know can't hurt me on that one), just a veggie breakfast sandwich from Starbucks because I didn't get up early enough to make myself something.
The blood donation has had consequences unfortunately... because I gave a unit of blood they told me that I can't exercise or skip any meals today. My rational mind says that this is okay and that it won't be a big deal. But my crazy mind says that it will completely derail all of the progress I made last week.
What I think I am going to tell myself is that it's alright to have one day that isn't in line with my current state of mind but that tomorrow I can get right back on track without a problem. Let's hope that works.
Currently, according to the scale I lost a few pounds last week and it feels great. Any progress in the downward direction is appreciated. Once I have the first 15 pounds off I think it will get so much easier. I didn't weight myself the day I started unfortunately, I felt like it would derail me to see how far I have to go. But I have lost 3 pounds since I did.
Progress!
