Train wreck!

Day two was doing great until my husband cooked up a meal--after I had already had my one meal of the day. I was so close to saying that I was not going to eat it, but have leftovers the next day. Then my illogical reasoning took over and I excused myself right into a second meal! Then, feeling guilty and dissapointed in myself, the rest of the day was unpleasant. I brought up to my husband "my plan" and being like his usual self, he undercut me and pointed me back to low carb. He thinks I would stick to that better on vacation than one meal a day. I beg to differ! I think one meal a day is PERFECT for vacationing! Less expensive too! My husband is a fan of low carb, because both of his sisters use it to control their weight.

My husband's oldest sister is over 50 and looks perfect. Blonde, tan, thin, fashionable--everyone LOVES LOVES LOVES her. Do you detect some jealousy in me? Nah...it's a figment of your imaginations. My kids love her. My husband cleans out the car when she travels in it. My mother in law whom I normally love becomes vicious to me when this sister is present. The other sister lost about 40 lbs or so low carbing. She still doesn't look perfect, but smaller than me definately.

Anyway, even though I have screwed up on day two--I am doing this way of eating. It is too perfect for me. Too Too Perfect! I have had my one meal today. This evening we will be out as a family and they will probably have Burger King or McDonald's or something (I have small children and the choices are limited to where they give toys with their food) and I will have a water or diet drink. I love unsweet tea from McDonald's! I do find it keeps me awake at night though. Not a bad thing when I am up reading though.

I talked to a good friend of mine who lives in Seattle today. She is studying Natural Health and getting a degree online. She has been losing weight steadily and working out since she moved from WV a couple years ago. I found myself not wanting to tell her of my one meal a day plan. Don't you hate it when people want to tell you how you should be eating? I am an adult and I can research and study (and do) just as well as anyone. Actually, I hate it even more when my mother in law tells me how I should be eating--coming from a woman who eats a "Nutty Buddy" and Coke for breakfast every day. She complains of bowel trouble ALL the time and blames it on fruits and vegetables; therefore she eats junk. The woman is fixated on bowel trouble--my kids either go too much or not enough--it's never right in her eyes. Plus, if I have some tummy virus--God forbid that I tell her because she will tell everyone she talks to that I have the "runs"!--I would rather the whole town not know thank you! And yes, it has happened more than once. So anyway, I am trying to keep the one meal a day plan to myself--and I regret telling my husband. Just me and the whole internet world knows.
