The Second Day..
So it’s the second day of my new diet and I just finished packing my lunch/snacks for tomorrow. I’d say the diet is going well although it is ONLY my second day!!! My mom took me grocery shopping and I just went wild on that place. I don’t even want to tell you how much I spent on food. I took my diet book - The Best Life by Bob Greene - and I got all kinds of food ranging from breakfast to snacks to dinner. Yesterday I cooked up some brown rice with red/green peppers and shrimp. Sooo good. Today I made a good salad with red/green peppers, cucumbers and red wine vinaigrette (of course it was the 1 calorie per spray kind haha!) I even exercised today and already I feel good about myself.
One thing that did bother me though was when I was sitting on the couch watching TV with my mom, specifically the Bob Greene challenge on Oprah, my mom kept making comments about my weight - negative ones of course - and it really really hurt me. I kept my mouth shut because I knew if I said something, it would start a big fight, I would cry and then I would eat. It was actually a really inspiring show. A woman who was once 703 lbs. was down to about 200 lbs. It’s doable if you want it and for once in my life, my short life, I can say I WANT IT!
On the downside, it’s still snowing and I have to work tomorrow. Oh back to the wonderful world of retail. Just call me your denim slave!! Maybe some lovely shopper will tip me and brighten up my day.
I hope you do well with your new diet. Starting a diet is the easy part not getting bored with it is the hard part. But that’s why we’re here for you. Looks like your enjoying it. Good luck with your new diet. Have Fun At Work
It sounds like you are off on the right foot. Getting the good groceries is a good thing. Good luck on everything! Keep up the good work! As far as your mom, results speak louder then words. Good luck!
