So far, so good

I had a little minor calorie overage Monday night but since then I've been good as gold. Sort of. haha

I've maintained my calorie range and I think I may betting used to the reduced food intake. I'm not quite as ravenously hungry all the time as I was Monday. I think it helps that after that minor slip Monday, I reevaluated the way I space out my snacks. And, I was too busy yesterday to really think about food.

I've resisted latte's three days in a row. It helps to sort out just enough cash for a regular coffee and just take that with me to the coffee shop. That way, even if I'm tempted, I'm less likely to cave. Trying to reduce the amount of sugar and stuff I put in my regular coffee, too. And drink less of it and drink more water.

I've resolved that if I can make it through the week without caving either buying a latte or eating out, I'm going to put up whatever money I WOULD have spent that week. So I have the motivation of having more money to spend elsewhere AND the motivation of not going overboard on calories. At this point, it's all about talking myself INTO good habits and OUT of unhealthy habits.

And to be frank, a lot of financial problems are directly related to my food addiction problems. I spend money I don't need to spend on food I don't need to eat. So my debt to fat ratio is usually neck in neck, meaning, the fatter I am, the poorer I am!

I figured this out a LONG time ago but, you know. I'm slow in taking charge of things.

I'm not as concerned about eating right now, though. My main concern today is the fact that I have been having bouts of vertigo off and on for about a week now. And heart rate fluctuations. And headaches. And basically a lot of weird feelings and I don't know where they're coming from or why. Overall, I just feel BAD. I wish I could stay at home and just rest but I know I can't. I hafta work. I hafta stay active.

Anyway, if I make it through this week with "good" food behavior, I'm buying myself a new little sweater thing I saw at Wal-Mart Saturday. All about motivation, right?
