Grilled Cheese 2.0

Today, I found the best "meal substitute" ever. It's a piece of toast (made with a certain type of bread) with half a wedge of a certain low-fat cheese spread. It tastes like grilled cheese and is 81.25 calories! And I could cut it in half and could save the other half for some time later, or just throw it away. I feel really good about this. :D Meanwhile, I'm drinking more water in order to fill up and chewing sugarfree gum to curb my appetite.


That said, my calorie count today should be under 100 because for supper all I have to do is pick at a salad and drink some water so that my parents think I eat more than I actually do. I ate that toast in front of my father & brother earlier so that's good. And my family will see me eat the salad later (which for me is only negative-calorie vegetables and half a serving of a very light 50-cal-per-serving vinaigrette). Being an acclaimed vegetarian is certainly helpful.


I do wish though that I had more freedom and control. I want to be in university and have total control of what I eat (or rather - don't). I'll just have to wait a wee bit while longer for that though.  It's taking a little too long for me to see the results that I want to see, but I did mess up last week by getting off to a rougher start than preferable. I think if I don't see more prominent results by my next weigh-in (Sunday), then I'll kick it up a notch and start exercising more.


But to remind myself, my goal is 48 more pounds in 7 weeks. That's a bit under 7 pounds a week. *Gasp!* A realization just hit me! This is feasible! This is tangible! Last week, even with that rough start, I managed to lose 5.8 pounds!! I can totally do this and I've just gotten a huge explosion of motivation. This whole time I've been thinking, 'Well maybe... just maybe I can do it. It's not certain though.' And now that I've just actually done the math, I can totally get this done! I just have to manage myself and keep my sights set on my goal. :)


I can do this!
