So I had a chicken kebab from Omaha Steak and they said that the calories were 130. I believed them. Until I realized that most of the chicken kebab was chicken, very little veggies. So if chicken is 50 calories an ounce and their is 6 oz of chicken that is not 130 calories. Or maybe that kebab was suppose to feed three people? I might have eaten 4.5 oz of it, but I am not sure. I gave the remaining chicken to my beloved dog who scarfed it down.
So worse case scenario I ate 250 calories rather than 200 calories. That is okay, but I couldn't even taste it so I felt a little cheated. And eating when I really didn't want to eat was also a bit unsettling. I kept thinking this is the start of the end cause I am eating even though I am not hungry and I really don't want to eat. And isn't that the problem I eat when I am not hungry. I eat to eat. Not a great way to start off. Suddenly product is looking really good. Maybe if I just give up food forever and just eat optifast...
I am scared, I have been successful on the optifast, can I stay success without it? I don't know. Time will tell. Problem is I have told everyone I am doing this, and now if I fail at this juncture everyone will know. I shouldn't have told anybody, then my failure wouldn't be noticed. BAH.

Failure Schmailure. You're going to do great, and you're hypervigilent about calories. Being scared might actually be useful through this transition. If you weren't scared maybe you would be hypervigilent. I would embrace your feelings and see how they might function to work in your favor.
ReplyDeleteThe way you work, letting people know may very well help since you won't let them down. As you remember, you tossed the cookies/crackers/etc so that I wouldn't be tempted even though my makeup tends to make it easier to avoid them if I know the crackers/etc. are readily available. Most importantly, read the labels & the portion size. I remember when Dick B ate a desert product & discovered there were 15 (yes 15) servings in the container. Become NOBILITY, COUNT the calories mum.
ReplyDeleteYou will do fine. Breath. You will let no one down. It's not in your makeup
