Day 2

Aaaaaaaaaaaand we're back :) (Weighed today at 179.2 lbs. Down .6! Whoo! Hey, every bit makes a difference!)

Today was similar to yesterday (except for the unexpected visitor...) and started out with a muffin (same wonderful raspberry muffins!) and chocolate milk. My mom grew up on a dairy farm, and so in my house, milk is an every meal affair. Low-fat, milk, of course, but still milk. We probably should cut back, but... honestly, I don't see that happening, lol. 
I'm kind of weird, and I think that because I do have the extra fat, I don't feel hungry until I am really hungry, and even then, once I eat, it doesn't take much to feel satisfied. So, I'm having a difficult time, because I've heard and read that you should actually eat more better stuff, at least at the beginning, but I don't feel like I need it... So if you have advice for me, or any guidance on the subject, that would be wonderful!
So when I finally felt hungry, right before I left for my flute lesson, I made a peanut butter and banana sandwich on whole wheat. YUM! Honestly, I feel like that is one of the meals I could eat for the rest of my life if I could! I was kind of proud of myself for using fresh banana instead of our homemade raspberry jam, because I know personally just how much sugar went into that jam! I also had a glass of water again! *pat on back*.
For dinner, because we had a lot of wedding cake work to do, we had chicken that my mom had pre-cooked and pre-cubed and mixed it into a mix of mayo and miracle whip with grapes, craisins, and celery. Chicken salad on a croissant! Yes, the croissant was a splurge. We had that with watermelon and baked chips and, of course, milk. 

You know, in reflection I feel I'm not making the changes I need to. It's hard when you live at home, and even though our family does want to make the changes, it just... doesn't happen. To change our long-standing family habits is very hard, and I can't do this alone and try to make everything different  for me, it just doesn't work that way in my house. I don't know. If you have experiences to share with me how you tried to change your habits, even if your family didn't, that would be great to hear from you!

As a side note, I have warts on my hands. Several. They've been there forever, and I've tried freezing them off with over-the-counter wart remover, I've been to a P.A. to have him freeze them off, and used the Band-Aids with wart remover on them, and the latter two would remove the rough, raised exterior of the wart, but they would come back, and even spread! I don't know what else to do. If you have a cure you've used, (and yes, I've heard that you "grow out of it", but since I'm 18, and I've had them since I was 11, I think it's been long enough to show that I probably wont grow out of them in the foreseeable future.) please, share your secrets with me! I really despise them... A lot.

Thanks guys, I appreciate you!
