Today was okay overall. I didn't eat dinner, but I ate more than I wanted to at lunch, so that kind of put a damper on things. But I still don't think my calorie count was too awful. I think around 800 calories perhaps? Eh.
Tomorrow will be much better, because class is over at noon, and K has work in the afternoon, so she is staying at school. This means I will get to go home by myself, and I won't have to eat lunch or dinner, because K will be at work until 6pm, so she won't get home until 6:30. Yay!! I will eat my breakfast of yogurt and granola, and perhaps if I get really hungry later in the day, I will have some fruit or some cottage cheese. I am shooting for nothing, though. I find it so funny how I get so excited over planning not to eat :)
Totally random: I was watching Say Yes to the Dress the other day, and one of the brides looking for a dress was this adopted Korean girl, and her mother and friends were there helping her pick out her dress. She looked so beautiful, and you could see how much she and her mother loved each other. It struck me then for some reason, and I saw my future as a mother, adopting a little girl and watching her grow up. I don't know why it hit me then, but ever since that day, I have felt really peaceful, like I have a weight lifted off of me. It's like I figured out a part of my life or something; like I found a piece to the puzzle and it fits perfectly. I have always questioned whether or not I even want children, and now I know that I do, and that I want to adopt. I just need to get the rest of my life figured out first, one step at a time!
Random, very random, but I just wanted to share that with you guys. It makes me feel happy every time I think about it :)
Love you, Skinnies!

ReplyDelete800 calories is not too bad, my friend. =] and i think you're doing great. i'm so proud of you. and btw... i know exactly what you mean about getting excited about not eating. hehe! hang in there, you're doing great. =]
I know what you mean. I was so excited to purge dinner tonight. My friend took me out, I got a super salty patty melt and just purged my guts up. Felt awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love "Say Yes to the Dress"!
Don't be too hard on yourself!!! You are so strong and you know it. and you better love me tomorrow.... or else
ReplyDeleteAdoption is a lovely idea. I raise my two sisters. It is very rewarding. I never planned on giving birth to children of my own. I am very blessed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice on Rosie Hat. I am going to vacuum daily now to help rid of the fleas. I realize bathing her so often has been irritating her skin. Poor pup.

hope your plan goes well and you don't eat lunch or dinner! I'll try the same for today :)
ReplyDeleteWe have adopted kids in my extended family and they are so loved, I would love to adopt a kid if I didn't have the natural option.
awwww that's so sweet. I might not necessarily adopt as I really want to have kids of my own. But I really want to help change a child's life in whatever way necessary: love, money, attention etc. I mean after all they are the future ;) I know that prob sounds lame and stupid but that's how I feel. good luck for today xxx
ReplyDelete<3 Keep up the good work!!!

that's really sweet about the adoption thing :)
ReplyDeleteif i ever decide i want a family, i know i will want to adopt as well.
there are so many children out there that need a family, why not make a difference to one of them?
The adoption thing is so sweet! It's good of you too, since there are so many kids out there without parents or a decent life. Very kind of you to not bring another life into this messed-up, overpopulated world as well. XD
