It couldn't have been chocolate? Binge-watching shows on Netflix?<br /><br />I appreciate you recognizing the fun balancing act I have going on. Sometimes it's just really nice to have someone acknowledge that it really is a lot. The process is definitely not without its breakdowns, though, I assure you. But still, thanks for calling me a hero. That's really encouraging.<br /><br />Hope your laundry turned out ok! ;)SecondVoicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201670117711346943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054480788539390694.post-61806427962860510292014-10-10T16:55:28.114-07:002014-10-10T16:55:28.114-07:00I can definitely understand, but we only go out to...I can definitely understand, but we only go out to eat maybe four times a year. We live in a small town so there aren't too many options, and the whole area is a bit of a resort region, so lots of places are quite expensive. I really struggle with diets and didn't want to really be on one. Instead I just noted down what I ate in a day for about a week, and where I could cut calories out. I cut out the bread from breakfast and lunch. I cut out beer and fancy coffees, but I allow myself cheats on the weekend, and dinner every night includes carbs of some form or another. I work in a physically demanding job and I jog and hike a bit, so I can't completely give up grains (if I did I would be so cranky and tired, and I would fail). The bulk of the weight I put on was at university, working full time third shift with a full course load and a commute...I can't even imagine how much you have going on right now in your life! To be so busy, with the added stress of infertility, and to successfully diet on top of it all? You may be my hero! I can't juggle so many things without freaking out! I can't even manage to do the housework despite a 27 hour work week because I am easily distracted by pretty much everything (damn you google and wikipedia). In fact, here I am reading blogs with a basket of wet laundry sitting near me that apparently won't go hang itself.

I'll bet you know EXACTLY what he eats, though. <br /><br />Congrats staying away from bread altogether for the last several months! I couldn't keep it up so I reintroduced whole grains to my diet recently (as in WHOLE whole grains. At least 4 grams of dietary fiber per serving or no deal). Are you not eating any grains or just not bread? Either way, I bet you understand what I was talking about when it comes to eating out, am I right?SecondVoicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201670117711346943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054480788539390694.post-20737691448979023242014-10-09T10:54:18.347-07:002014-10-09T10:54:18.347-07:00My husband is also a skinny bean pole who can eat ...My husband is also a skinny bean pole who can eat mass quantities of junk food without gaining an ounce, but he at least eats almost all the things whereas I am the picky one. With my diet he has been supportive but not always mindful which can be frustrating. He was totally unaware that I haven't been eating bread for months now and wondered what I've been eating for lunch...the thing is, we eat lunch together EVERY DAY.
