Food Boredom
I have to admit I am getting weary of weekly weigh-ins. I lost a good deal of weight this winter, and I have been at a stand-still now for a month or so. I am just tired of the complete mental focus it takes to always be planning meals, counting calories, and making sure you have eaten every few hours. I work a job where it is very difficult stop and eat on the clock. It’s not like I can just whip out a small meal in the middle of a class. And, between classes I am nearly always interacting with students.
SO, I have considered giving the supplements and diet pills a break until this summer. Or, maybe just another month. I need to mentally and emotionally allow myself a break so I can start back over and approach weight loss as a “new” adventure again. I’ve proven I know how to eat to maintain now. It’s just a matter of putting myself back in the mindset of actual weight reduction. It’s work, yes, and I I need to approach it wholeheartedly.
I do stop and wonder sometimes if I am not just being lazy. Yes, it is easier to grab a sandwich at home with my daughter than it is to plan out several trips a week to the produce market and to keep gulping down high protein foods like lean meat and low-fat cheese. I like those foods, but a little variety is nice as well. I am looking food boredom right in the face and I am pretty sure I am losing the staring contest.
