Too Scared To Eat More

  • First off don't touch the Easter Bunny he has Rabies and second off all of you are so amazing. I walked into this weight loss with a blind fold and you all are giving such wonderful advice. I have decided to up my Calorie intake regardless of the results. It's something my body needs whether I am trying to lose weight or not. I ate a nice full breakfast this morning and actually noticed that my mind was a lot sharper instead of the sluggish drag and yawning I'm used to.

    For all of you who debate whether or not I'm eating what I'm dictating... I am. It's kind of pointless to lie to a computer. I had a salad last night for dinner and I chopped up a little bit of chicken for protein and threw it in with some Red Devil hot sauce. DELISH!! I want to get better and I want to be healthy, therefore I have no reason to lie about what I eat or the exercise I do. I do take my children swimming every day for two hours and I do swim with them and it is very exhausting. They like to hang on my back while I breast stroke under water... So imagine doing that times three children for two hours a day.

    Today is the day I started eating 1200-1700 calories a day and so far so good. I will keep posting. Right now I'm making a notebook of recipes and I've gotten some great ones that I'm super eager to try out! Thank you all so very much, you guys/gals are AMAZING!!

    Your salad last night looked great ... but add more chicken next time! Those muscles you're building with swimming looooove all the protein they can get.
