Struggles and Small Victories

I have to say, this time is a bit harder than when I started last time.  Last time I was a lot more excited and was less frustrated by others eating.  Maybe it's I am having a bad week - I don't know.  However, yesterday was a rough day for me.  Courtney and I went to a pool with some family and had intended on eating there.  You know - no big deal.  Courtney knew to make my plate and give me the correct sized portions.  Which she did.  There was birthday cake - and I had some.  Not too much, but some.  However, Courtney ate a lot more than I did.  I know she is at a different place and doesn't have the issues that I do.  Yet that doesn't make it easier to see her doing what I want to be doing.  I consider it a small victory that I didn't over eat and that I stuck to my plan.  However, it was just a hard day.  I am really learning that I like foods that have more fiber because they keep me from feeling hungry.

This week I am going to start drinking more water.  I know I don't drink enough and I think if I really boost it then I will feel less hungry and will make my skin look more healthy.  Exactly what I want - an indirect effect from a positive behavior.  Also, I think I am going to start doing some more exercise.  I'd walk if it wasn't so HOT.  I just can't do it because I start to feel sick.  That means I have to find an alternative to going outside and walking.  No big deal - there are all these Tumblrs that have great workout suggestions, I just need to do them.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.
