I need to stop beating myself up about eating. I try to stick around 1000-1200 calories a day, but on days like today when I end up eating 1400-1500, I feel bad about myself. Really, if spent all day in bed staring at the ceiling and not moving, I probably burn 1500 calories just keeping my body going, so if I eat 1500 AND work out on top of that, I know I'll still lose weight, and probably avoid killing my metabolism in the process.
I'm just having a fat day...my pants aren't fitting as well as they normally do and there's no reason I would've gained anything, so chances are I'm just retaining water, or it could be that because I've been working my abs a lot, the muscle underneath the layer of flab is starting to become more defined, which will temporarily shove my gut out until the fat burns away.
I REALLY want to be skinny, but I'm so sick of dieting. I miss the days when I'd lose 1-2 pounds a day. I was so much heavier then that the weight just flew off. Now, I probably lose a pound or two a week, so of course I don't notice results all the time. But telling myself this and being motivated to work out and constantly watch myself are two different things.
