The Truth is the Truth is the Truth
Disapointingly, my third week weigh-in was a real let down. I have lost .5kgs. Considering I lost 4 in just the first week, it makes me sit back and ponder what I did wrong. There is nothing I can't stand more than people who are big, who say they 'eat hardly anything at all' and that they 'don't deserve to be this weight because of what they eat'. To me this is all denial. I believe many big people,(other than those with medical conditions) eat too much, but much of the food is consumed unconsciously. That is certainly my problem. So, day by day from last week, I am going to look back on the week, and assess why I have had such a small loss. What did I do wrong, and what can I do this week to stop it happeneing again. There certainly is an advantage to keeping a food diary!
Ok.
Monday - exellent walking, walked extra, worked up a sweat, all good excercise wise. Half an enchalada for lunch with salad (oohhh not the perfect diet food!!, wonton soup for afternoon tea (this also isn't fab), a milky bar egg (a mini white chocolate egg), still not good, and a large lamb chop for dinner. This is Monday and clearly not a particularly clean eating day. The lamb could have been chicken breast or stir fry.... and less of it, no chocolate egg, and a peiece of fruit or cruskits for afternoon tea.
Tuesday - Walking was excellent, so no worries there. Morning was good food wise, however chicken delux from Maccas in the arvo (I seriously have this once or twice a year, wasn't going to miss out!!), so Tuesday wasn't too flash eating wise either.
Wednesday - 15 mins salsasize (youngest daughter had to be picked up early from daycare), not as good as walking. I flipped and had a slice of chocolate cake after lunch and had a chocolate drink after dinner...... not excellent.
Thursday - Walking was brilliant. Tuna and steamed vege for lunch, brilliant. Though after lunch, babybel cheese, 6 king prawns with lemon, WW dessert, 2 peices of crumbed fish and salad at dinner (should have been steamed or grilled plain fish).
Friday - No walking today, my day off. Meatpie at morning tea (Boss's shout couldn't say no), Carrot cake in arvo, bottle of wine (free day,) fish and chips for dinner sticky date pudding after dinner.
Saturday - Good walking day. Roast pork and veges for tea, not ideal. Chocolate drink after dinner AGAIN....
Sunday - Bacon and egg burger for lunch on a WHITE ROLL, dried fruit, nuts, more bacon, BBQ chips, beer, chocolate drink after dinner.
Considering I actually lost .5 of a kilo over the week looks like a good result regarding what I ate. I have to own this, and realize that I am once again trying to sabotage myself.
I also gained 2cms.
Week 1 - 91kgs Week 2 - 88kgs Week 3 - 87.5kgs

Hi, noticed you were following my travels so thought Id follow yours. Yes think of it as travels - this whole weight loss is a journey - and trust me Ive been there and back a time or two and still have to keep hauling on the reins from time to time. Like you alcohol is probably my biggest downfall - I enjoy a wine (or six!!)and Im a daily weigher and what I notice is that alcohol plays havoc with your fluid levels. Initially after having a few drinks after a dry spell my weight drops but then starts bouncing around. Ive currently put myself on a 10 week plan and cut out alcohol completely - and I sleep sooo much better.
You are certainly being brutally honest and owning up to everything you eat and I reckon thats the only real way forward. As you say you thought your week hadnt been too bad till you actually listed everything day by day.
But hey as I said this is a journey and you are making progress - 3 weeks and 2.5 kgs so thats an average of 800g per week. Now if you were to only lose 500g a week that would mean in 12 months time you would have lost 26kgs!!! So really 800g average is excellent and from what Ive observed over my multitude of years fighting this battle, despite the fact that we all want everything to happen NOW, a good steady loss means its more likely to stay off and at 33 means that if its nice and steady there will be a lovely body waiting to emerge.
OK enough long stories - look forward to following your progress. Take care

It's so demoralising when the scales register only a little lost. Still it is -.5kgs. is better that +.5kgs right. Just do your darnest this week to stay on track. I'm definitely cheering for you!!!
Gosh I didn't realise when I commented that you post was actually written in March 2009.
How are you? I hope you come back one day soon. We are in the same weight range and could support each other.
