Last night I went out for dinner with mr. ralph and his family to celebrate his birthday. I of course ate like a pig. This restaurant was buffet style and well, lets just say I didn't make great choices, and to top it off I had apple crumble for dessert. The worst of it is I could barely taste any of it.
I've been sick a total of 4 days including today and I've used it as an excuse to eat whatever I want.
This must stop.
I was going to go to work today, but my husband talked me out of it due to the fact that I was out for a few hours last night and by the time we came home my voice was shot to hell and I am on the phone all day at work. If that happened in that short span of time there is no telling what work would do to me.
The reason I really wanted to work even though I am sick is because I am bored as hell at home, and well, because I don't have food staring me in the face all day long at work. Also I don't even know if I have enough paid sick leave to cover these 3 sick days I've taken this week.
I've come to the conclusion that I could never be someone who works from home. And when I have kids, I'm going to need to take a very limited break from working because lets face it, I cannot handle temptation. Being around food without something to keep my mind busy is a frightening experience for me.
And the fact that I cannot taste food very well right now isn't helping matters either, because for me hunger and taste are intricately connected. I hunger for certain things and when I eat something that doesn't quench my desire I always keep eating until the taste/hunger has been satisfied. I'm not getting much gratification in that area this week.
I took a walk today because it was sunny and I had to get out of the house. I've been wanting to do it all week, but most days even though the sun has shone, the wind has been very chilly and going out in a cold wind isn't the best idea when one is running a slight temperature.
Oh well, it may have taken me 4 days to figure it out, but I can see what I've been doing here, and it all equals weight-loss sabotage. I need to put an end to it now. And on another depressing note I'm still not well. You would think that I'd be feeling somewhat better by now, but I'm not. I cannot miss Monday from work as well, it is just not an option. That is of course unless I am truly dying, with a high fever and chills.
Come what may, I need to feel better Monday.

I do not want you to beat yourself up for writting off a week from your weightloss calendar. You have done so much in this front you do not deserve the guilt and depression this brings.
Cheer up you size 10 gorgeous woman!
Hope you are feeling better very very soon!!!!
If you have a chance, try to get outside over the weekend - sometimes the best thing for a cold or flu is fresh air.
Have a grea weekend.
Me
Hope you're feeling better soon!
