You would cry too

I called my nutrition lady in tears last night. I hit a wall. I couldn't bear the thought of eating another bean or piece of salmon or bite of spinach last night. I told her my weight loss had completely stalled and I had gained 1.5 pounds this week.

This morning she called me back and asked me what was different about last week. I told her we had a family reunion and lots of family get togethers and I brought all my own food but that we ate Thai food since I assumed I could eat coconut milk, vegetables, shrimp, and rice.

I received a few lashings and quite frankly wanted to reach through my phone and punch the lady. She is so fabulous and I know she is on my side but she told me I need to drop more weight before I eat rice and beans anymore. I wanted to punch someone so she was an easy target.

I was given pretty clear guidelines: no dairy, no  chicken, no eggs, no tuna, no red meat, no sugar, no cashews, no macademia nuts, and no bread. Only consume strawberries, blueberries, apples, and grapefruits and avoid processed food like the plague.

I thought Thai food fit in beautifully with those guidelines!

Guess not. She told me no more exercise, even walking, until I drop 10 pounds.

This is what I can eat now until further notice:

Breakfast: 1 C almond or soy milk, 1 scoop of ulra inflammX, 1/4 banana, 1/4 C strawberries, 1 C spinach

Snack: Repeat the breakfast menu

Lunch: 3 oz lean protein, 2-3 Cups of leafy vegetables

Snack: Apple, or 1/2 C strawberries, or 1/2 grapefruit

Dinner: 4 oz lean protein, 2-3 Cups of vegetables.

Why does being the fat kid for life suddenly sound way more awesome than drinking this crap?


Admit it, you're SO jealous of my turkey drumsticks and InflamX 360

  1. Oh Steph! I am so sorry you are feeling so burdened right now! You look cute in the pics;) Hopefully with time it will become easier and not so stressful. Hang in there!
    Hey get something you can punch as hard and as often as you want. I bet it would help to actually go through with the desire to punch;)

  2. Wow, you have an amazing amount of will power. I would have punched the lady and got some ice cream. :) You will find something, and if not you can join me in just being fat and making the best of it. I have some really bad weeks and really good weeks. The scale is gone, and I still workout because it makes me feel good and I'm too scared not to. And I have a great roadbike, and enjoy doing 5K's. I wish you the best. Come visit Boise any time!

  3. Awww, Stephanie! That doesn't sound like any fun at all. I have selective allergies to vegetables...I would die. So, you are my hero! YOU CAN DO THIS! And want me to find the lady and get her for you? I totally will. And then I'll of course give her a hug after so she feels a little better. :)
