Bah.

Frustrating day. I was home with Jett today, which made me realize a big weakness of mine. When I have a lot of downtime and don't keep myself busy, I eat. Idle eating. I literally cannot control it. I wasn't even hungry, and I barely even had a craving. But candy was available, so I ate it. And the more I ate, the more I felt like the day was shot so I may as well keep eating. Ughh. I feel like a total pile. Well, they say to have a cheat day every now and then to keep your metabolism guessing, but I'm really not feeling good about today at all. I felt so good when I was sugar-free. Now one day of sugar and I'm jittery and crabby and down.

On top of that, I still haven't exercised this week. I have a scary thing going on with my eye, and I'm a little afraid of what exertion might do to exacerbate the problem. I can't focus on anything with my left eye, and I occasionally have a shooting pain there, so it freaks me out a lot. My mom had a weird eye condition that required a procedure after which she had to stay face down for like six weeks. If I have something similar, I don't want to do anything that might make things worse. As a result, I'm relying on diet alone until I get some answers (Friday's my appointment). Until then, I need to get a cool eye patch or something.

Sorry to post such a bummer of an update. They can't all be up days. On a lighter note, I saw some before and after pictures of my cousin who has been working really hard for the past two months, and you can see some pretty dramatic changes. It's encouraging. So I'll stick with it. The next time I'm tempted to eat candy, I'm going to remember how I feel right now and maybe it will help me to just walk away.

All for now. Later, cats.
