Muscle Memory

[susandennis]

I started dieting to lose weight when I was about 16. I quit when I was 50. I gave up smoking and, as a reward, promised myself I could eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted it, amen. I gained about 100 pounds and have kept it since. I've been operating on that same premise until 3 weeks ago so 27 years.

My deal with myself (and my doctor) with Wegovy is that I would continue my premise. Eat what I want when I want. And, for the most part I have done just that. I have added in more protein to stave off any unpleasant digestive side effects. And I've added prunes.

My plan is to eat, live, shoot up this way from now until the end. So no denying myself. I will eat what I want when I want it. If I want fried chicken, I eat fried chicken. If I want cake, I eat cake.

Mostly, I do not feel like eating more than is necessary which is great. And I have had no appetite for fried chicken or cake. But, yesterday, I didn't eat enough and wanted to snack all night. I did not and when I got into bed I realized I was breaking my promise to myself. If I want to eat something, I should eat it. I am not on a diet like the old days. I am on a diet like the new days.

My new Tech is down the road at the UPS station "being readied for delivery". Not that I'm stalking. OK, I'm stalking. Usually UPS gives me a little map with a brown truck and tells me how many stops away I am. I am a sucker for this little map.

I had a lovely swim this morning.

My feet are getting bad again. I should go back to that podiatrist and might if they don't get better. I need some thicker socks, I think. I should get off my ass and go to Target. I might. (Walmart would probably be better but Target is way closer.)

But, first I probably should get dressed.

Even though it seems my body has adjusted somewhat, I think I'll pick up some prunes on my next grocery shop. I eat what I want but I have become a sugar fiend, so I am trying to resist candy, cookies, cakes, soda, etc. this weekend. I want to do what I can to prevent becoming a skinny diabetic, plus I get bloodwork next week. Too little, too late I know, but less sugar truly is in my best interest because I've been consuming a ton of it.
