So as I might have mentioned, I quit smoking. Yeah, yeah congrats, Oh it was worth it, I feel so much healthier now, Awesome, yada yada yada. I don't care. What I do care about is that Im always friggin HUNGRY! Not hungry like "Oh I want to smoke, so I'll eat something instead" hungry. More like "I can really taste food now and I want more" kinda hungry.
Now, not to say all I do now is eat. I don't just eat, I go to the gym too. The thing I'm noticing is that even though I gym, and generally watch what does go into my gullet, the scale has become my enemy. And it really sucks because we run in the same circles.
I promised myself I wouldn't let that bitch bully me, but there she is over in the corner being all judgey and holier than thou.
So I hear you, I know, I could become more conscious of the food I choose to eat. I could add a diet to my fitness routine. Maybe even make some ice pops instead of my beloved ice cream.
NOPE. Just thinking about ti is making me break out in hives.
A few years ago, to get my blood sugar under control, I embarked on the Atkins "way of life". Super hard for a carb addict. But I did it. And it truly is super effective for weight loss. Problem is , it is also super strict. I was making two meals a night. One for me and the other for my super skinny husband and sons. I would eat a grilled chicken salad, and watch them eat the spaghetti and meatballs I just made. (I died a little every night.)
I just don't want to go through all that again. Why does it have to be that I have to spend 22 hours at the gym to burn off a Whopper value meal? ( Those things are delish!)
I'm pretty sure all of us women are there with ya, whether or not we smoke or quit smoking. Just gotta weigh out the positives and negatives and decide which you want more.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on quitting and ESPECIALLY going to the gym.. because you never wanted to. Major accomplishments
