Things Learned, Updates, and a Birthday

So, shortly after I posted for the first time about my diet, I did some math.
I was a bit weary about trusting the nurse who gave me the diet plan, since she didn't actually do any math to figure out what, and how much, I should be eating. She simply added 2 oz. of meat, and called it good.
Well, it turns out that the diet plan she gave me was less than 800 calories per day. Day 1 was 743 calories. Which I was glad of, but I felt sick and shaky, and so I decided to add some things to make it so I was getting more calories per day. Now, I can also have one serving of oatmeal, and 3 eggs. But even with that, I don't reach 1500, which is perfectly okay with me.

Annnd... it seems that my attempts at weight loss have paid off. I weighed this morning before I ate my oatmeal, and I'm down to 197.4... Not quite 3 lbs, but a loss...

GOD, it has been so freaking long since I have seen a loss.
I'm surprised that the loss wasn't less, though.
See, yesterday, was my boyfriend's 20th birthday. And the day before that, we spent the day with his family, during said day, I had a hamburger, potato salad, baked beans, [I refused the cake] and then later, I ate 3 pieces of pizza...

I didn't even want to try to guess at that day's calories, so I just called it a birthday cheat day, and tried to call it good... But after the pizza, I kind of had a manic depressive breakdown... I bawled about how my emotional problems are ruining boyfriend's birthday, and how I ate 3 pieces of pizza when I'm supposed to be on a diet... I just was hysterical.

Yesterday was better, but not by much, We went to see the Dark Knight Rises, and I ate popcorn and licorice... popcorn is 35 calories per cup, and the licorice was 4 pieces for 160 calories,,, I had 6 pieces, so it would have been more like 240, plus an estimate of 10 cups of popcorn, so 350
+ 240 is 590...

I need to reign myself in, and get up the fucking energy to exercise, but, with what I'm eating, or the amount, that is, I feel tired, all the time...
Glad I lost, though.
I want you all to start updating more!! I miss all of your blogs!
