A friend asked me the other day, how things were going with the diet. I replied with a kind of "ehh!" and accompanying shoulder shrug. She said "well you've lost weight!" Only a few pounds. "But don't you feel great?" I didn't know how to answer that one.
Yes, I am pleased with the changes I have made in my routine that make me more aware of my choices- no more mindless grazing on my kids random leftover food. I feel more drive to actually get involved and play with my kids. I have learned that even though certain treats are sweet, they actually don't taste that good and aren't worth the indulgence. But I really can't say I feel so much better, because I am eating more fruits and veggies and fewer sweets.
My prevailing feeling is that I am absolutely sick of the external diet rules. I am sick of a little chart on my fridge dictating what I must eat and what I can't eat. I am just ready to be done. Looking forward to Monday morning when I can have full sugar jam on my toast, and not have to force in one more serving of carrots before 8 PM.
This picture seemed just to sum up how I feel about carrots right now! They are my main source of veggie points and I am getting sick of them, but they sit in front of me taunting me to eat more, because dang it, I want the points!
