Diet Day 46

I lost another pound this week. I was bummed it was only a pound, but I know it is because I've been supplementing my food intake. I just seem so hungry all the time. I'm guessing it has to do with all the exercise and I'll probably have a hard time losing a lot until I back off my exercise and can really stick to my menu.

I can't really see a difference, but that is totally my distorted vision of myself. I have been giving clothes away to one of my friends, who is also losing weight, as I can't wear them anymore. I tried on the new suits I bought last fall that I only wore a few times because I was pregnant and the pants are already too big. I wish I saw a difference in myself. I still just see pudginess and grossness. It's really aggravating.

I will say, though, I am eating healthier than I ever have in my entire life. I'm eating vegetables with lunch as well as dinner, way less carbs and eating far less processed foods than I have in the past. I've also stopped the mindless eating. I still find myself stress-eating, but at least when I am doing that I recognize it and am making good choices about what I eat.

I don't talk a whole lot about my exercising, but I had to add because I'm proud of it: Since the 23rd of June I have run 143.8 miles. Yay!
