One of the most difficult parts of dieting is keeping the faith. I know I didn’t have a chance to post anything yesterday, but I can let you know I stuck with my diet. I kept the faith, and I didn’t eat anything too fattening.
For breakfast, I decided to eat less of my cereal than I did the previous day. In total, I had about 360 calories with milk. From there, I ate a low fat, BBQ chicken wrap with a pickle and cheese stick for a total of around 450 calories and then I had another two cheese sticks for snacks, so add on 50 and a lean cuisine for dinner for another 400 calories. All in all, I ate around 1260 calories.
Today, I woke up too late to enjoy breakfast. I ended up having a low fat wrap, Reuben style. This was a little more fattening than the BBQ chicken (which was grilled), coming in at around 480 calories. I had a pickle for another 25 calories and then I had one of those delicious ranch lean cuisine flatbreads I love. That’s 360 calories. I was at risk of not having enough calories for my body to sustain a healthy existence. So I decided to have some popcorn for a snack with a cheese stick and a glass of apple juice. That bumped me up over 1200 calories for today. I kept the faith and stuck with it.
Keeping the faith has nothing to do with religion, if you don’t want it to. Sure, you can pray to whatever you believe in, and ask for guidance, but the kind of faith I’m talking about is in yourself. You have to believe you can lose weight and stick with it no matter what. I’m beginning to see that the reason I may not have been successful with past diets is because I didn’t necessarily have the faith in myself or the motivation to stick with it. Now, I’m in a mindset where I don’t just want to lose weight. I have to, and slowly, but surely, I’m beginning to see/feel results.
My face is beginning to tighten up. My clothes are loosening in places like on my sleeves and on my waistband. I’m beginning to see changes in the width of my legs, which lost a lot of fluid/water weight that had made them bulky. The more I see changes, the more compelled I am to lose weight and the more faith I have in myself that I can do this. It isn’t easy to change your life and/or your diet. Knowing I’ll be all the better for it, some months down the road, gives me the hope I need to know I can make a difference and I can change my life. I think that everyone needs to come to this point of realization or no diet is going to work. You have to decide to stick with your diet plan and not cheat or change your mind no matter what.
I’ve done that, so I think that I’ll be okay. I’m already starting to feel less hungry and filling up on food faster. I feel hungrier earlier between meals, but usually a small snack curbs those cravings.
I know this is kind of short today, but hopefully, this message is short and sweet. As always, I’d love to hear from you. How do you go about keeping the faith in yourself and in your diet plan? What prevents you from splurging on all those delectable goodies that go right to your butt? Leave a comment and let me know.
