Ah Tuesday, the bane of my existence....no more! As I've stated several times I work two jobs on Tuesdays and am most susceptible to slipping up during this time simply because I have no time. But I have managed to figure out a way to avoid the slip-ups. My first job is your normal 9-5 job, my second job usually starts around 5:30 and will go until 11. I have to stand the entire time and get no break, so eating is impossible. I've come to understand though that I can grab a banana or other piece of fruit in between the two jobs and it'll sustain me until I can eat dinner later. I know, eating past a certain time is NOT healthy or wise when you're on a diet, but sometimes the rules must be broken. Thus, my Tuesday routine has become: end of job one, eat banana, start of job two, end of job two, dinner (usually something light like cereal that won't keep me up to late).
I've managed to figure this out and stay away from my normal haunts on these days (the dreaded fast food) which I usually partook of simply because it was easy and I was too tired to do anything else. It's funny though how I don't even crave it right now, I mean my bf brought home some food the other night from Burger King...and the smell alone made me sick to my stomach. Is this normal, or am I being over-dramatic? Either way, I kinda took it as a good sign since I didn't even want to have a taste of something that I would've normally digested in a matter of seconds. Here's to saying NO to temptation!
PS...Thanks for all the encouragement and support! I love the comments and the advice for exercise, food, and general health! For those of you on your own diets too, good luck! Let's stick to it together!!!

Hey,
I just got caught up on your blog (I believe I found you through cosmo) and just wanted to say congrats on the four pounds! it is awesome and I bet, even though it's four pounds, you feel the GREATEST right now!
I also want to let you know, I did it. Not as drastically as you, but I was always a small person (5'1 115 pounds) but i never ate right. Once I started eating right, I overdid it, and eventually gained so I was 150. I decided to "tweak" my diet and add exercise and I have maintained a healthy 125-130 (always remember, your body DOES flucuate with water, that time of the month and that 5 pounds is normal)for the last 4 years.
I wanted to maybe just pass along a few helpful tips that helped me, and a few things that might help you too (guess what? you DONT have to completely give up fast food and coffee! you don't have to feel guilty about eating it either! I don't!)
Its all about quantity, and exercise. Sure, go to McDonalds one night. But don't get the combo. Get one or the other. Fries or the burger. Get the chicken burger instead. You can do that.
Have your coffee. But subsitute a large for a medium, medium for a small. if you can drink it black, all the better!
If you want any more tips (as I don't want to overload the comments section!) email me:wiccanvixen24@hotmail.com. I would love to help, because you seem to be doing sooo well!
congrats again on the 4 pounds! you're doing awesome! just keep it up! when it becomes a life change, you get used to it fast! I promise!
that's really great that burger king wasn't as appealing. I do think you can teach yourself to prefer healthier stuff, especially when it's a habit. and don't feel bad about eating late, you definitely need to be eating something to keep up your energy/metabolism/health. :)
