I have been struggling since summer of 2015 to get back down to the weight I prefer, which is 153 pounds. I have been doing well… even got down to 156…. but I have noticed that even one or two bad says means I put on 3-4 pounds and I am back to where I started. Preventing snacking at night is the rough spot, since I stay awake so late. It always means I want to snack out of hunger or really just plain boredom. SO… in an effort to help myself I have reduced the amount of calories I am taking in per day from 1600 to 1400. This way… if I slip up a bit it isn’t going into the 2000 mark… but is probably not gonna hit higher than the 1600. However, the goal of course is it to stay in the 1400. This is day two of it and so far so good. I did great yesterday. Right now it is 4:16pm and I have 375 calories left. I hope I can make it until bedtime. lol
I feel like if I can do this for 2 weeks it will become my new habit and that should make it easy for my body to lose and maintain my goal weight. Fingers crossed!
On another note, my surgery date was changed again… the doctor will not be available for whatever reason and so now it is happening on March 29th. Still works out good and I should hopefully be healed by summer. Again, fingers crossed. I have no idea how long it will take to heal from this surgery and I am quite frankly very scared of how much it will hurt, since my breast will be getting stapled to my ribs. ugh…. very nervous. I know I am gonna probably need the pain pills after this surgery, whereas after the other ones I was able to tolerate the pain pretty well and stop the pain meds a couple days afterward. I really hate taking any kind of drugs. But this time will have to be an exception I know… *sigh*
Anyway… I will update again soon on how I am handling this caloric change… hopefully it will be a smooth change and I don’t have trouble with it. Pray for me!! lol
