My friend at work kept telling me to watch The Biggest Loser. We are all trying to lose weight, and she loves it.
Not a good idea.
It left me feeling depressed rather than uplifted.
I've been working with a trainer for over two months now and have only lost a few pounds. And I say I don't care about the number, but I'll be honest for a moment- I do.
I kept a food diary this week for my trainer and didn't think it was that bad. I'm not great about my diet, but I'm a lot better than I used to be.
She said I'm starving myself.
She doesn't know how I'm alive.
I'm definitely not like, anorexic starving myself. But I got this lecture about how I need to be eating a lot more frequently and I need a lot more protein. She was especially upset about the day my diary looked like this:
10:30- Grapes
12:30- Apple with peanut butter, granola bar
6:30- 2 Cookies
7:30- Granola bar
Anyway, I apparently have to re-train my metabolism, which seems overwhelming. She wants me to start by eating protein bars every morning. That way I'm eating breakfast and getting protein, and she said there are chocolate peanut butter ones so I can get my chocolate fix.
But I can't buy protein bars right now because I already went grocery shopping and bought a painting and now I have no money. So that will have to wait.
And yes, I know that the Biggest Loser people have trainers with them all the time and a special chef. Let me tell you, I would be the healthiest eater if I had a chef. Well, maybe not, because I'd always be asking them to make me rice krispy treats. But it's still discouraging.
I suck at life.
I want to go to fat camp.
