I've realized something. I watch TV. I mean, I somehow always say that I dont really watch TV, but that's not true. What's in my head when I say that is that I don't watch prime time television...shows that come on, me flipping channels and stuff. No. But I do clock some serious TV hours watching series on DVD. Right now I'm doing Angel. And while I'm watching TV, I always have to have some major carbs in front of me to stuff my face with. Let's face it, I can't get my TV on with a big salad in front of me. It's got to be the buttered bagels, the eggs, the meat, the chips and Snickers and coke, coke coke!!! And now that I know diet is unhealthy it's the regular coke! So...that's where a lot of my calories come from. Weird, I'm now realizing it.
Case in point, it's 7:10am. I had planned to go for a walk this morning and eat when I get back. Didn't feel all that hungry. Then I remembered that I'm in the middle of an episode I didn't finish watching last night. I thought about watching the episode instead and voila...mysterious hunger for buttered bagels with fried egg, cheese and turkey on it. And coke. I'm sitting here right now feeling it, smelling it as I type. It's not even really hunger pains...it's just me salivating while I think about it and the smell permeating my mind. My tongue wants it, but I'm not actually hungry hungry, you know?
So I figured I'd zoom on to the blog in an effort to stave off the attack. Had hoped to see B online, but she isn't. She's great for encouragement. Will I go for the walk? Or will I cave and watch the Angel with yumminess in front of me? I think the flesh is weak here, folks. Angel and food it is.
But what would happen if I reduced my caloric intake by 1000? I was going to start that today, too, coupled with the walking.
I'm just pathetic...where's the remote.

thats an interesting observation, at least now u can try working on getting away from that habit. i myself am a "phone eater". whenever im on the phone i feel this need to munch on something,,,i didnt realize this till my sisters (whom i talk on the phone with the most) pointed it out.
I have to admit my plan has pretty much gone south! its so fustrating! i seriously dont want to diet but the whole 'just eating healthier' thing dosent seem to work..cuz i dont stick with it- not that i can stick with a diet either~i dont know where to go from here. maybe we can regroup and come up with something together. im not giving up just yet.
I agree, regrouping and scrapping non viable plans is a good idea. If I can just start walking! Getting any sort of activity besids walking to and from my car would be a big thing for me. Ok what do you suggest for yourself? Maybe don't buy the junk food? that helps me; if it's not here I dont go out and buy it, you know?
