Debbie Cousins's Profile | < Previous Entry |Next Entry >

Yesterday was a pretty good day - walked 3 miles, drank 64oz water, got in 2 fruit/vegetable servings, got out of my recliner every half hour. It was an "I want to eat all day" day, though. Consumed 2,660 calories and only burned 3,316 so my calorie deficit was smaller - 1056. At least it was still a deficit and not a gain, which it easily COULD have been if I had eaten everything I WANTED to eat yesterday. Did eat most of it, though.

Up at midnight again, and had a piece of Dave's Killer Good Seed Toast with Butter (263 calories). That is such a comfort food for me! I eat it when I'm bored, stressed, bored, hungry, cold - did I say bored?. Before I started logging, I was eating up to six servings a day. Yesterday, I managed to limit to only two servings - one at 4am and one at 7:30am.

I woke up at 9 last night to pee, and wanted to get up (and eat), but I forced myself to go back to sleep. Woke up with either a sty or pinkeye. It's always SOMETHING with me lately. I hate to listen to people who complain all the time, but I've become one of those people.

On a more positive note, my knees didn't hurt quite as badly yesterday and my coughing spells were more spread out (instead of being constant).

Normally, right now I would go ahead and do my Bible reading for the day and catch up on all my FaceBook notifications. Instead, I'm going to try to go back to sleep. Busy day ahead and I'll be gone for a good part of the day (which will mean less snacking). Tempted to eat a donut hole before going back to bed. But, for now, I'm able to resist that temptation. Delayed, not Denied.

That bread sounds so good. Unfortunately due to my kidney issues I am not supposed to eat nuts. Might have to try it anyway.

Hi Debbie. Do you know why you wake up so often throughout the night, have you discussed this with your doctor? Poor and sometimes interrupted sleep can lead to hormone fluctuations that increase the feeling of hunger. This may be some thing your doctor can help you address and then it could potentially help with your overall weight loss efforts. I really like to do guided meditation when I wake up in the middle of the night to help me go back to sleep. There is a free app called smiling mind. You may enjoy using it, the more often you do it the better you get at it. I really like their sleep series

When you were fasting for all those weeks, did you buy snacks like donut holes and cakes?

You can do this Debbie. I wake up hungry also and it sucks and it’s difficult. I’ve found you have to resist these temptations until your body adjusts to having less calories. For me it takes several weeks after I begin to diet to not feel so hungry from calorie cuts. I do wake up super hungry so I have coffee and some fruit to dull that craving and mostly eat small meals and lots of healthy snacks when the cravings begin. I also try to eat filling veggies that are low cal like kale and spinach to help keep my cravings at bay on those hungry days. Maybe this will work for you.

You are so in tune with your body where a lot are not. That's saying something. I have a trigger food called "NUTS" and when I start I finish the container! So you are tracking and are aware of those times when it is your weakest. Bravo!
