I can’t believe it’s been over a week without NRT. Granted, I don’t think I’ve been doing myself any favours with the sugar-free gum, but if it gets me through it, I am willing to deal with the side effects.
I haven’t “cheated” (eaten offplan, blown my diet, whatever) for over two weeks, but I am still having problems losing weight. I might be down a pound one morning and up two the next. It’s all very frustrating because I still have so much to lose. I am going to switch plans in a month or so if things don’t change (not off low carb, but something that sort of changes what I am eating entirely).
After I finish this post, I am working on the book again. Two hours, non-stop. I can aim for that, I suppose. How realistic is up to debate, considering my reaction to sugar-free gum.
I have a Twitter now, because everyone needs to know what I am doing at all times. I am not sure why I really signed up for it considering my family won’t bother getting one, and my friends don’t bother with the net as much as I do. Still, now everyone can read about my life’s minutiae. Damn it, I am going to Twitter hard core.
Send help now…
Actually, it’s getting better, but controlling my apetite is really hard. I think in some ways, I was depending upon the gum to help kill some cravings. I do chew regular sugar-free gum now, but it is hard not to over do that.
It’s saving us a significant amount of money to have me quit the gum. Plus, I don’t like the idea of being a gum junky. I am just afraid of the weight issues. The last time I went off it sucessfully, I gained quite a bit of weight. I mean, I was fat before I quit smoking, but I was really fat before I started smoking again out of desparation.
So here I am. I feel as if I’ve lost my security blanket.
Mr. Y and I went to Kensington Palace last weekend. Can you believe people are still leaving cards and flowers 11 years after she died? The gate was covered.
So far, this is the biggest let down of all the Royal Palaces: not that much to see, the audio tour sucked. We had a relatively good time though. Great to get out and do the “touristy” stuff.
I have finished a chapter in my book. It’s kind of weird. Sort of a relief. Like I had “slow literary productive transit” and I drank some “Booktamil”.
Other news: Mr. Y got a new position. Our cat has adopted an old brown shoelace and bugs me constantly to play with him with it. I have been losing and gaining back the same 10 pounds for 4 months.
