Yesterday I typed up a blog about what this week entails for me eating wise. My comment responses below that post are quite a bit mis-leading. I have had a lot of GREAT feedback and I wanted to thank you all for your advice and suggestions.
I would also like to mention that Sunday night I will be eating a normal- extra yummy meal for dinner. My free-meal. And then starting Monday I will be eating a normal healthy diet. Infact it will be the same way I ate two years ago... the way I am SUPPOSED to eat. This week was meant to wean myself off of processed foods and sugar. I think it has done its job very well but today I am going to add a LOT more dense nutrient based foods, such as veggetables to my meals. (Thanks Sara! ) :) Keep up the feedback... It actually helped solidfy an inner battle I was having with myself. I will go into it more next week. :)
Love Nikki

Curses!...
Curse this wretched feeling of guilt! I'm going to hold true to my original goal. 14 days of no sugar.
*Great Scott! This is going to be a rough weekend.

Twitching...
Today was the first complete day of NO SUGAR for me... and I have to tell you that I AM TWITCHING. Seriously though I am ready to fly off the handle. I feel as if I'm starving. Is that wierd or what? I have the worst case of the munchies (sugar deprivation induced) and can not get chocolate cookies out of my mind.This is hell. Just saying.
I have never eaten so many clementines in my life.
My aunt mentioned I need to find a new outlet for me to put all my stressed energy into. Yes! I really really do. I think though, that perhaps writing is that for me. I've been working on sewing my very first home-sewn pajama bottoms and that helped yesterday.
Today though? NOTHING IS HELPING. I went on a three hour walk earlier today to suck up some Vitamin "D" and that helped get my mind off of food at the time. Now that I'm home, and my hips are uber sore... I just want me some comfort food.
Don't worry though. I won't cave in to these horrible human responses. Why? Because I'm not human. I am amazing. :) HAHA! Really though, it's because I want this feeling to BE GONE.
I want to be free of this food induced prison.
Hopefully tomorrow will be ... different. Hopefully I won't be "twitchy". ;)
Love Nichole

Comment Response...
A comment from my Aunt Julie:
Nicole,you're doing terrific! Every body slows down some in the weight loss journey. But that doesn't mean anything other than the fact that we have a tendency to get a little lax in what we are doing ourselves. Yes, there is the metabolism factor, too. So don't give up on the exercise.
I had come to the conclusion that I would never be able to meet my goal weight again in my life. The one thing joining Weight Watchers has done for me is give me back that hope. Because every week I see others achieving remarkable successes. But one thing I've seen with WW is that we have to eat less with every ten pounds lost. It's only because the body requires less food. Thank heavens for all the yummy filling veggies - kick out of your rut and try veggies you've never tried before. Did you know yams can be eaten raw? Have you ever tried spaghetti squash with the tomato spaghetti sauce over the top? Veggies are our fill it up salvation!
I also think as we go into the winter months, our body thinks it has to go into hibernation. We hunker down indoors because it's just too cold to be outside, and we quit moving quite as much. That does not help one bit, either.
You are doing terrific and remember that cube of butter - the quarter pound lost is still a victory worth cheering over! I still have around 50 lb to go, too. Maybe we can help each other along on this great struggle!
*******************************************
You know what- I actually did not know that Aunt Julie. I BET that's what has slowed me down! I haven't adjusted my food/ caloric intake in months. I really like the spaghetti idea and I think I'd like to try it either tonight or tomorrow night. Yummm! When I first started doing this I ate yams or sweet potatoes every night. Then they just slowly started slipping out of my dinner plans.
And as to the hybernation- yah my body has definitly decided to hold on to the extra fat in all the awkward areas. Perhaps instead of doing at home work-outs as I have been doing I should pick up on my jogging again. The next triathlon season IS around the corner after all! :)
Thank you so much for your support and your comments. I find them very inspirational and love that we can help one another while fighting this internally physical battle! :)
