Day 7 of Sugarless
Trying to go without refined sugar for a month has really got me thinking about my body image, & it’s only been a week. It’s so frustrating trying to lose weight with fibromyalgia. I’m so exhausted & in so much pain that I honestly believe upping my exercise regiment would do me in. My thyroid has it’s own idea of what it wants done. I’m lucky that I don’t need to lose a lot of weight. I probably don’t need to lose any, it’s just the number that scares me whenever I get on the scale. I really need to stop looking at the scale & just concentrate on eating healthier. I’m frustrated that I don’t feel like I can exercise more without hurting myself. That just leaves cutting out food. One of my friends swears that not eating after 8 pm at night. I’ve heard tale that Oprah never eats after 6 or 7. This is something that I can at least try, although I’m a bit of an insomniac so that is like cutting out my lunch. I will try to get my meals in earlier in the day & see if it makes a different. I guess the rest of the experiment will determine where I am weight wise. How do you lose weight when you are too tired to care?

[...] followed the diet but the scale just would not move! Then over Christmas, as what happens to most of us, I gained a few pounds [...]

Ya, I don’t look at the scale anymore. I think its because the last time I looked I had lost a decent amount of weight and I don’t want to ruin that joy
But I was surprised how much weight I did lose just by changing up my eating habits and eating healthier and having healthy snacks always at hand. Inevitably I will have to go to a doctors appointment and they will weight me (I think th last couple appts I have avoided the weight in somehow!), which I am dreading. The scales at the doctor’s office always weight like 10 pounds heavier I swear!!
