Right now just seeing what I eat is helping me figure out what part of my issue is. I would normally intake a few hundred more calories, not alot, but that is the slow increase in weight that has gotten me to being 65 pounds overweight in 5 years time. I am seeing as well as the amount of "fat" percentage is bad. Shouldn't really be a shocker as I know I can eat crappy food. Just seeing it brings it to reality.
I know what healthy food is and ironically, I love healthy food, I just need to schedule in enough time to prepare. I always make the schedule for the next day, at the end of the previous day's work day. I will need to add in 15-20 minutes for preparation. So what if that means I will have to work later 15-20 minutes. I work from home, so I don't have to worry about the commute. :)
I don't plan on starving myself as really the 2,000 calories a day and increasing exercise will SLOWLY get me to the goal weight, but if I don't suffer and starve I will be more likely to do this long-term.
I need to exercise in the morning but getting up earlier is amazingly hard. I think though if I just keep trying that I will do it. I was so close to doing it today, so I hope to do it tomorrow.
I just will not give myself crazy "in a hurry" expectations, but I will be slow sturdy strong and forgiving... to persevere. Like the tortoise and the hare. The tortoise method may work for me.
We'll see.
OH, and the hubby, I found is not good for me when it comes to food. He loves bad food and only this year is he gaining the visual weight. I have to be stronger with him when he pulls me into crapland. He will be good if I set my foot down, so the foot....is.....tiptoeing down sort of...hmmmm. Not sure how well that will work as my willpower in the face of yummy bad stuff is not so good. I will just have to have to really tell him that he cannot tempt me anymore and I'll give him that "The wife is serious" look. He's usually good after that.
