Can a person get the shakes from the smell of fried food? Well, let me just say, I felt like an addict who hadn't had their fix in too long today at work. We had food at work today and the choices were - fried pork chops, fried chicken, smothered pork chops, mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli salad (loaded with mayo), fresh rolls, and several types of pies. Yeah, read that again: fried pork chops, fried chicken, smothered pork chops, mashed potatoes, gravy, broccoli salad (loaded with mayo), fresh rolls, and several types of pies. I seriously felt like I was cast into the lion's den of food choices. I walked away and made my grilled chicken salad. Once I was full, I felt better, but it was a no joke hard situation.
I think what made it harder was the fact that I'm pretty sure I'm going to weigh in the morning and be up in weight on my official weigh-in day. Yes, seriously. I'm not discouraged because I know that I know that I know that I've done EXACTLY what I was supposed to be doing. I figure if I'm not down this week then I absolutely have to be down next week...or the week after that...or eventually the scale is going to have to budge downwards. I will say it is psychological harder when you've been losing pretty nicely and yet, the scale isn't moving at all - except maybe up a pound - and you are doing the exact same thing as before. I figure my body is probably in shock that I've had almost a month of extremely clean eating and it wondering if it can get me to binge again and get back to the old normal. ha! Well, this time, I'm not going there. I will hold strong.
Well, I've got to finish up some homework.
This is a beautiful life!
