Yay!

I lost 1.5 pounds this week! Exactly what I wanted. Although I felt confident yesterday morning about what I was doing, the evening was a different story. I did not want to count calories anymore. I did not want worry about what I was eating. I did not want to do homework. I just want to play. I was very STRESSED. I figured out something during that "I don't feel like doing anything" thing I was going through last night. I am an emotional eater and a stress eater. I have really had it under control, but last night I was just wanting to eat everything insight, and almost did if it weren't for my conscience. Thank you conscience! I had some comfort food, leftover crab chowder for 265 calories, and my hubby brought home homemade tortillas that Rosa, the secretary at his work, had made. I could not pass that up, so I had a tortilla with a little roast beef and a little salsa. Probably another 150 calories (that is an estimate). So, all in all I had a four hundred calorie meal. Not terrible for wanting to eat everything in the house.

Today I am going to keep stress eater in check, and only eat at the times allotted, and only eat what I should, somewheres in between 1200 and 1600 calories to have weight loss for next week. Its working, I know, because I lost this week! Glad to be out of that three week plateau!
