R1 VLCD 7

Yesterday, I did not post.
We had a cheating day, for Jason's birthday.
I tried to do as well as I could, I had a small amount of mashed potatoes, and I had a glass of coke. But a lot of things I would normally get, I didn't.

I'm having a hard time with this.
You might not understand it, everyone is different.
But it is hard to change everything about how you eat over night.
To stop the snacking, to cut out the pop.
This diet is so limited, and I am trying so hard to put on my big girl panties and just do it, but it is also difficult when your husband isn't putting his all into it either. When both of us are getting bored, at the end of the day, its easier to quit. Do I want to do that? Do I want to give up? No. But at the same time. I am wondering if I went into this wrong.

I wonder if I should have tried to clean up my eating little by little.
Or maybe, being thin isn't what life is all about.
I should be happy with the fact I have a husband who loves me no matter what I weigh, and a daughter who adores me as well, no matter what I weigh.
But instead, I am more concerned with what everyone else thinks. is this all about me? No. Would I love to be smaller? Yes. But this is also about how I feel in public. My insecurities that my husband is surrounded by skinny, pretty girls, meanwhile his wife is overweight. I'm 21, I shouldn't be worried about being over weight. Worried about other women. Especially when my husband doesn't give me a reason to worry about them.
But it's there. The insecurity. So I can't be completely honest when I say this is all about me and no one else. Of course it is about everyone else.
I don't think I need to be thin to be healthy. Making better choices and watching my portions would do that.

I want to finish this diet, I really do, but at the same time, it is very hard. I don't like fighting with my grandma why we can't have dinner with her because she doesn't make things we can eat. Essentially, this diet is separating me from family. I've been sick, yet have had to cook because I couldn't send Jason for pizza so I could rest. Jason hates the small portions and limited options. I find myself more stressed about his complaining and stressing over every little thing I eat and how it will effect the scale. That can't be healthy either.

This might not be the best time to do this diet.
But we've invested time and money into this, and it might not be the best to just give up either.

R1 VLCD 6

Weights:
Brittany: 232.6
Jason: 222.6


Saturday, ah. I woke up this morning feeling awful.
Natalie has been sick the past few days, and so I am thinking she gave it to me because she is constantly up my butt and wants to lay on me and be in my face. Great.
So my mom came and got the baby and gave me the day off. It was so nice to just lay on the couch all day long even though my house is a mess. I finally caved this evening and took some medicine. I was able to make some dinner, which was pretty good.

For dinner we had beef and cabbage soup.
Beef, Cabbage, Minced onion, Garlic powder, beef broth, water, hot sauce, pepper. I was proud of myself, and this soup saved me breaking out the chicken noodle soup I have in the cabinet!


Anyways, tomorrow we might be taking a planned interuption for Jason's birthday. I refuse to go crazy but it is his birthday, and I guess one day won't kill me. But then it is back on track! No more cheats.

R1 VLCD5

Weights-
Me: 233.7
Jason: 222.9

I got to sleep in today! Hooray! It was much needed. I woke up at 8:30 to take my hcg and then went back to sleep while Jason took care of the baby and cleaned the kitchen. Double yay!

I seemed hungrier today than usual. No clue why.
For lunch we just had chicken and spinach. Nothing special.

For dinner I made chili! Yummy!
It was super simple, just ground beef, canned diced tomatoes, and some seasonings. Thinking I might be trying some meatloaf and other things. Both Jason and I are bored with the bland stuff.



One week in and I think we are both struggling,I know this diet is very hard. I keep seeing commercials for ice cream and reeses. Crap, I would kill for a pb&j right about now! Jason has been cheating a little, go figure he still loosing well. I know if I cheated I would stall. And because I want to get to 210 this round, I have to focus and put all my energy into this. Prayers please!

R1 LCD 4

Weight-
Me: 235.6
Jason 225.1

I'm down .9 pounds from starting weight! Woohoo!

Lunch was simple, chicken (baked for a change) and lettuse with an orange as my fruit.

Dinner was dreadful. I made tilapia and asparagus...
I do not know if I just did not make the tilapia right or what, but it was NOT good. I will not be making it for myself again. Bleck.
I ended up grilling up some beef tips to compensate. I just wasn't really hungry tonight. I will probably try another strawberry smoothie later, we'll see.

(I'd rather have an egg salad sandwich. :))
