Disappointment

My fill is doing okay so far, if I would stop eating past when I feel full *sigh*. I always have problems with wanting to eat more than I need to.

I worked out every single day last week for at least 45 minutes, sometimes more (like 2 hours Saturday, 3 hours yesterday...). Saturday I weighed myself, and I lost 1 single pound. Yep, just 1. After that I just sat in bed for about 15 minutes being pissed off and ready to give up. I worked REALLY hard last week and had nothing to show for it.

But unfortunately, I can't give up. 391 lbs is NOT an okay weight to stay at.

My biggest trigger food is chips and dip. I am WELL aware of this. Last week my husband made homemade guacamole after seeing it made at a restaurant a few weeks ago, so we had that with tortilla chips. He wanted to make it again, but I just didn't buy the avocados because I knew what would happen. So what did I do instead? Yesterday, I thought my favorite spinach dip was on sale, so I bought 2 jars of it (ended up not being on sale, but I didn't know until after I paid) and 2 bags of tortilla chips. I sat down and ate about 4/5 of one bag of chips and one jar of dip. I estimated about 1500 calories for that little binge. Trigger food. I just can't keep chips in the house at all or this is what happens, but I don't know when I'm going to learn my lesson. I've been REALLY good about not buying sweets, I don't know why I thought chips were different. Sweets were never really my big problems, it was always eating large portions of "regular" food.

Live and learn, right?

So this morning, I didn't feel like eating anything while at home before I left. I had to run an errand before work and ended up having a little extra time, so I decided to stop at Smoothie King for the first time and see what they had. I decided on a medium "Trim Down" Passion Passport smoothie, no additions. 1. The "medium" is THIRTY-TWO OUNCES (32!!). I figured at best it would be 16 oz. 2. They had no nutritional info posted, but I figured since it was on the "Trim Down" menu, it couldn't be too bad. I looked it up online when I got to work - the medium is 592 calories. Seriously? What else is in this besides ice and fruit? I didn't taste any yogurt or anything in it, so I have no idea how the calories got so inflated. Just another lesson that just because something is diet or light doesn't mean it's really that great.

What a way to start the week so far.
