I have eaten better in the last 10 days. Not perfect, but better, no binging. Some days weren't good, but no days were horrible. The last two days, I drank a lot of water, ran, ate a lot of fruits and veggies and overall good clean foods, so I felt brave enough to weight myself today. I stepped on the scale this morning 142!?! Up five pounds in 10 days eating better than I have in a month??? WHAT? HOW? 138 is my absolute top limit, so something must be done, NOW. I started birth control about 25 days ago. Maybe that is contributing to my increased hunger. But am I really hungry or just eating? Just eating. The last four days my tatas have been very sore. My boobs always get bigger on hormonal birth control, but 5 pounds bigger????
So what to do? For one more week, I am going to stick with eating good foods that will nourish my body. This eliminates Doritos, Skittles, and most snack foods. Then I will reevaluate and see if I need to start calorie counting again. I really do not want to, but why not? It isn't hard. It isn't time consuming. It is just....restrictive. But look where loosening up the reigns has gotten me since I stopped counting every calorie that crossed my lips the first week of July.....4 months, and 13 pounds heavier than my lightest.
I am also considering signing up for a 10K on Thanksgiving day.
Okay, less thinking, less planning, more action.
