Weighed down

So I guess I'm getting into the habit of only posting weekly. Dont feel bad, i think about you all the time!

I'll try harder, but my first week of grad school knocked me out already. Anyway, As lilly can attest from my emotion filled phone call the other day, this whole thing is a HUGE challenge for me.

It is helpful to work in a group like this because we can share our highs and lows and hold eachother to our goals. Its also hard for those same reasons. When I think about just caving and throwing a few doughnuts in the shopping cart, I think about my fellow shrinkers and how they would not do that.

The thing is, i LOVE DOUGHNUTS. This is a metaphor, but seriously, I mostly crave things that are the worst for me. I know thats why its called junk food but i love it. My first step is going to be getting over cravings. I've taken to trying to drink water whenever I feel like I need to eat something (even though I just ate). Food is just a huge part of my life.

Phew, just had to get that off my chest. I'm feeling better and better about it and had a suprisingly even keel day today. I am going to weigh myself tomorrow at the gym and let you all know how it goes. I'm expecting slow progress though.

Thanks for listening and shrink away!!!!
