Today was full of lessons. First of all by 8pm, I had adhered to my diet and kept my calorie intake to 1480 (my target range is under 1600). HOWEVER, I had been struggling with serious hunger all day long. By the time I got home, the hunger situation was absolutely miserable. I had already drank 96 oz. of water throughout the day, so that was not the solution. I can't do diet drinks because of side effects from aspartame. Anyway, I should have considered eating fruit, but since I had eaten a lot of that during the day, I was doubtful it would have solved my problem. So, I decided that I would listen to my body and eat something fairly substantial, a peanut butter sandwhich on whole wheat. Still hungry I ate 1.5 servings of cereal with walnuts and soymilk. That solved the problem, but now I tacked on an extra 700 calories or so. I didn't eat another lean cuisine meal (which would have been perfect,only 300 or so calories) because I had already had 2 of them throughout the day and I need to watch my sodium intake because my ankles are really swollen. I think next time, I will eat fruit and eat substitute eggs because I had been eating that in the evenings throughout the week. I need to have protein on hand. While I could have had a granola bar, I really didn't want anything that sweet. My tastes have changed since starting this diet. Well, tomorrow is another day. I can honestly say I did the best I could under the circumstances.

I'm doing excellent controlling my eating habits when I'm at work. I only eat what I want to eat and I'm not tempted to eat out of plan. I just need to focus on having fruit ready to take with me so that I don't have to rely so heavily on the almond snacks that I started keeping at my desk when I get hungry. I have gotten my serving size down to 1, which is good given how much fat they have. But given the health benefits they offer (Omega-3), I will not obsess over the fat content right now.

The problem is when I get home, after I have eaten dinner. I just keep wanting to eat more than my allotted calories. So this is something I will have to work on. I'm really scared to get on the scale given what happened with the movie theatre popcorn on Sunday and how that killed my calorie intake goals. While Monday (yesterday) was better, I still exceeded the calorie limits of 1600. Also, I haven't worked out lately due to bad allergies. Although I now have some serious meds, I have to wait for them to take effect. And the combination of them all make me so tired, I'm barely getting through work, let alone thinking about doing a workout. So if I get on the scale, the results will consistent with these horrible episodes, which will make me discouraged and depressed.
