I'm in that frustrating position where I just can't keep myself honest... I find it so much easier to lose weight, when I am far heavier, but when I approach my goal, or when I slowly gain weight away from it... I find myself making poor decisions.
Example: Homemade blueberry squares sitting on the oven, fresh and delicious... I want them so badly, and I'm not normally the kind of person to crave sweet things (I prefer salty snacks by far). I tell myself that I'm a relatively big guy, 6 foot 2, so I can get away with a fair amount of calories before I have to worry, I can have a square... But then I force myself to remember that its that attitude that lead me to put over 10 pounds back on since I was last on xanga frequently.
If I use that justification on every meal, every snack, then it all adds up, and I end up packing on the pounds.
So I look around me and see:
Zucchini loaf
Blueberry squares
cookies
fresh bread
apples and other fresh fruits
cereal
yellow beans and other fresh vegetables
and more...
what should I eat? I'm pretty hungry, and I haven't eaten today... maybe a glass of water first to dull the hunger so I don't go crazy... I just wish I could have stayed halfway between my LW and my CW, I would be happy with that...
As an aside, for the day I plan on working on my research project, I'm trying to get published in a scientific journal... and working on my medschool application. I think I'm in a far better position than last year to apply, especially ever since I scored in the 99.4 percentile on the MCAT.
Hope everyone's day goes well
