Well, it's nice to know I am not alone in my frustration. My husband seems to have issues with taking responsibility for his actions and he blames others for his shortcomings. For instance, about a month ago, (when I was trying to stop eating junk food), he kept buying chips, cookies and candy. I told him he has to hide his stash so I would not be tempted. I stopped buying that stuff whenever I was with some one and turned into a "secret eater", meaning I'd only buy and eat when I was alone. He told me he has a hard time not eating junk because I eat too much of it. I am not sure how he justified that comment in his mind since at that time I was not eating the stuff in front of him. And it was not I who was throwing the bags of chips and cookies in the grocery cart.
I could go on and on, but there is no purpose other than complaining. I have to do what is right for me. It would be easier if we could get on a plan together, but he is not willing. He loves his fatty sausages, burgers and chips too much. Since he has chronic pain issues, which I believe could lessen with weight loss (I know how much I hurt when I carried an extra 35 pounds), and he does not care, then it is not my problem.
I don't think he wants to get better because then he won't be able to have a pity-party. As some one once said, "Why would you want to have a pity-party, no one brings you presents."
Well, enough of that. I ended up eating s'mores and graham crackers yesterday. I think it was the no-fat thing because I had some strong cravings for something after I ate my meal. Plus it was hot, hot, hot and humid and so I had 2 bottles of ginger beer. (not all at once).
Ever get that way when you eat a lot of lower calorie dense foods and you eat till you are close to being stuffed but you still feel hungry. So frustrating. Over on the E2 facebook page, Ami said it was because of the low- to no-fat that was the cause of that and it may take 90 days for it to go away.
90 days??? I have yet to get passed one day with those cravings. Perhaps, I really need to drink more water. Yes, that's it,I'll focus on drinking more water.
What I ate yesterday (besides the junk):
Coffee
Creamy Tomato soup (my version) (with carrots, celery, onion, [cashew and hemp seed for the 'cream'])
Cauliflower
Pinto beans
Corn fresh off the cob, freshly picked from the garden. (I pigged out, I ate 4 cobs worth)
Nancy (aka Morris)
