Thanks MB!! After reading your post, I finally stopped hyperventilating Lol This is definitely going to be a challenge, maybe a lot more than I realized... And it's only day 1! Lol And you're right, I'm just going to have to start taking the time to make myself healthier meals. Looks like I will be picking up a new skill along with losing weight: cooking. I can see that's a skill you already have; your dinner looks delicious! Would you mind posting the recipe on here?
There was something else that made me feel better about today's mishaps too. I found a website (I'll post the link at the bottom) that says that the recommended calorie intake for a 22 year living a sedentary lifestyle is 1,800. It also said that "If you are trying to lose weight, you should eat 500 fewer calories per
day for each pound of weight you wish to lose or add an extra 500
calories of exercise." That means that I could potentially restrict my diet to 1,300 instead of only 1,200. I think I will try this out and see how it goes. If I don't see any progress, then I will revert to 1,200. Wish me luck!
On a side note, I realize that there is yet ANOTHER downside to being
poor: not only do I have to worry about finding healthy things to eat,
but I also have to worry about the PRICE of said healthy things. Maybe I
really should consider robbing a bank... Lol
*Sigh* That'll be the day Lol
