So, I've been logging my nutrition on sparkpeople.com (you can view my food/fitness log here: http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_tracker.asp?id=TINAMARIEWELCH&dte=1%2F19%2F2012 ) and weighing in at home and at school for our biggest loser contest. My goal was to lose at least a pound a week and so far I'm above that- I know not to expect that every week, but the jump start was appreciated. I lost 1% each of the two weeks I've weighed in. :) I've also decreased my coke zeros and upped my water intake greatly. Doing pretty good, I think.
The one thing that I just don't know how to fix is that urge to stuff my face when I'm upset. Seriously, last night I wanted to take all the leftover pasta and eat it from the pot. Or handfuls of trail mix. Not because I was hungry or even because it tasted so good- but because I had that urge to stuff my mouth. :( The only thing I can compare it to is an addiction- how someone else might have "needed a drink" or whatever their vice is- I was driven to eat. I know this is an emotional/psychological issue that I need to work through. I think OA (overeaters annonymous) would be a good choice for me, except that I don't like/agree with/accept the religious aspect... *sigh*
Trudging along...
