So I’m not going to write down what I ate yesterday..let’s just stay I started the day at McDonald’s and finished it with a bottle of spanish wine. I was with friends all day.. and I was in a different city so. S*** happens. I’m a little hungover so that’s punishment enough. Also I haven’t exercised for 3 days…But I’m going to, today.
Anyway it’s a new day, and I started it right with juice made from 1 apple, 1 orange and 1 carrot, 3 rice cakes with chicken salami and a little feta cheese. For lunch I had 2 crepes/pancakes… and for dinner 1 had 2 eggs, 3 rice cakes and a little feta cheese. Now I had some peanut flips for snack… I love those because the ones I buy have no additives in them- so they are pretty healthy, but still they contain a lot of calories…and I had apple juice after dinner. So today I ate all the right food, just too much of everything.

Ohhh it’s 8am here February 1st and I’m happy to write I am on track with the plan I’m 62kg/137lbs. That means i lost 4 pounds! I’m SO happy! I haven’t even had breakfast today yet, I just had to write this down first.
Update: So I won’t be able to write at least 24 hrs, I’m going away today and I’m coming home tomorrow night. I was planning on having thai food and wine today for dinner with some friends, but now that I lost those pounds I just don’t want to break my diet with anything like that…I’ll see what I can do about those dinner plans.
I decided to sell all the stuff I keep in my closet but I don’t use. Some shirts an a corset I got from friends who don’t really know my size… apparently the thing they always mess up is my breast size. Seriously I don’t have small breasts, they are perfectly normal, but somehow they always buy me things I could only wear if I had bigger boobs. So that’s not gonna happen unless I gain 20 pounds.. so that’s not gonna happen…. And it was pretty easy to sell everything on the internet. I also sold my Atkins Diet book, which I bought as a teenager ..tried it and HATED it. I thought nobody was going to buy that, but it’s the first thing I sold. 
It’s a good thing, I mean I’m at a very bad place now cash-wise, and I have a lot of junk I got as presents, and I was always planning to give some of it away someday, but that day just never came.
So for breakfast I had 3 rice cakes, chicken salami, a cucumber and juice from 1 apple, 1 orange and 1 kiwi. For lunch my dad is making mac&cheese…blah…I hate food like mac and cheese, because it has a lot of calories/carbs and I’m hungry 2hrs after I ate it… It’s just bad food. For dinner we’ll see I’ll write it down tomorrow.
Btw I bought one of those instant 3 in 1 Jacobs coffees, for tomorrow morning and guess what I found out! The 3 in 1 version has less calories and carbs in it (48kcal/8.1gr) than the 2 in 1 version (63kcal/12gr)! It’s crazy, because the 2 in 1 is just with cream but no sugar. I mean obviously it’s a small difference and doesn’t really matter, but still..WTF right?
But on a normal day I make my own coffee, with some low fat milk and 1 sweetener. I use sweeteners without aspartam.

Yesterday wasn’t great. I had a mexican salad for dinner - it wasn’t very low on calories but still better than having something fried or a pizza. At least I didn’t eat the side tortilla. And I couldn’t resist: I had a glass of pinot blanc wine. But all was so perfect, me and my boyfriend …eating mexican food in a fancy restaurant..drinking wine. I am not very sorry because I had a great time.
But today is a new day… and I’m looking forward to all the puffed rice cakes…haha…not really Tomorrow is weight checking day and I’m curious, I’m wondering if I’m on the right track…
I’ll update later today 
So breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 cucumber, 2 rice cakes, juice from 1 apple and 1 orange. Lunch: fried chicken- 1 drum, potatoes, 1/2 paprika.. , dinner: 3 rice cakes, chicken salami, cottage cheese. If it weren’t for the family lunch it would have been a pretty good day.

I don’t know what’s up with me, I’m just tired all day. I’m not even hungry or anything, I just want to go to sleep. I hope I’m not getting sick. Meh.. it’s probably just the weather.
Menu: For breakfast 3 rice cakes with chicken salami, cottage cheese and apple/orange juice. Lunch: Chicken paprikash…without bread or potatoes. I’m having dinner with my boyfriend and I can’t get out of it this time… So I think I’ll have a small Caesar, mexican..or greek salad..or a veggie plate… We’ll see. And tea probably…
There’s one thing I’m missing very much: WINE. Before I started this diet thing, I was drinking wine at least twice a week. Not to get drunk or anything, just a glass or two after dinner. I love wine especially red Argentinian, Chilean and South African wines.
Not much to write about today…I’m going to wash my hair/prepare for my date I’m sure I’ll be in a better mood tomorrow.

So yesterday I saw The Descendants with my boyfriend. And you know what: It’s a great movie. But everything that happened there was so unrealistic to me…especially the people. Almost all of them were terrible persons. The family friends, the teenagers, “the other guy”… soulless, ignorant. In my country a movie like this would never work because no one can imagine that they would be talking to their parents in such a disrespectful way, or someone could be laughing at a person for having Alzheimers’s, or the way they look at life: like we should all just fend for ourselves, like families are only good for money. Or the woman who is putting make-up on someone who is in a coma-pretending everything is all right. It’s just all so super-unrealistic to me. Anyway the movie is nominated for 5 oscars. I don’t think George Clooney deserved the nomination for best actor.. although usually I love his acting, but he was very awkward in this role. But you should see the movie if you haven’t it’s definitely worth a watch. The kind of movie that makes you think about life.
Aaand yesterday I ate dinner at home. My boyfriend was a little disappointed, but I’m happy I didn’t eat something fatty/unhealthy with him. He told me he’s convinced I’m going to give up the new eating habits in a few days, he doesn’t really believe I can make it. I told him that we’ll see. Obviously I can’t see the future but I so want to show him that I can do it!
I’m going to update later and write down what I ate today.
Update: Sooo for breakfast I had 3 rice cakes with a little cottage cheese and chicken salami. For lunch I had fried chicken (not much), potatoes and paprika salad. I had a very small portion- because everything was fried and oily, so I was hungry all afternoon… I had a glass of apple-tangerine-beet juice later, and for dinner I had 4 puffed rice cakes with salami and a glass of joghurt. I took my dog for a walk and now I’m going to do some abs. 
I had an early dinner so I’ll probably have a carrot and some herbal tea around 10pm… I’m hungry all day It’s best not to fight it… or I might end up eating something stupid.

So today is going to be hard. It’s going to be all about portion control. Saturday is the only day in the week when I can’t really plan anything I eat, because we have breakfast and lunch together as a family, and I always eat dinner with my boyfriend. He is finally coming home, so that’s a great. Anyway he is my opposite probably. He exercises 2hrs every day and he loooves it. He is thin. I eat a little healthier than he does, but than again it doesn’t really matter to him whether he drinks those 3-4 sodas weekly, or drinks beer or wine with all that exercise…Blah..
Today I took my cat to the vet. Although we bath him every 2-3 months and has an anti flea collar..and we put some powder on him sometimes….somehow he got infested anyway… so now the vet put Frontline on him. It was terrible my cat (He’s called Boogeyman in my first language- that’s Mumush) was shaking and it was so hard to hold him down….waaa but I hope that works. It was pretty expensive.
Food-wise: for breakfast I ate 2 eggs with some sausage and 1 glass of joghurt. For lunch we’ll eat ratatouille with rice and chicken. For dinner… I have no idea. I’ll try to eat something small and healthy. It’s gonna be a busy day so…I’ll write more tomorrow!

Soo… I finally found out the english name of the cheese I usually eat. It’s kinda like cottage cheese but contains less fat - about the same as yoghurt, and they only make it in Europe. Quark cheese. So that’s what I ate yesterday. It’s very healthy and yummy
I’ve just found out that my dad is making pancakes for lunch.. God…I hate this. It’s so not what I should be eating. I don’t know where you are from, but in Europe pancakes are not the same thing as in America. Here’s a picture of what they look like here:
They usually have a jam or cocoa filling, but we also make with sweet quark(that’s the healthiest). But you can also make salty ones. And it tastes amazing. Just one of these sugary things is 250 calories. And you have to eat at least 3 to get your belly full. I guess I’m gonna eat 2… which means I’m going to be hungry like a wolf when dinner comes. I hope I will not get out of control. I hate that I’m living with my parents again. I just hate it. I had no problems with my weight while I lived alone.
Update: So today for breakfast and dinner I ate the same: 3 puffed rice cakes with a little salami,quark cheese, and juice made from fruits and vegetables. I ate two pancakes for lunch and vegetable soup. And I ate some snack before lunch: 1 cup of joghurt and 1 rice cake. It’s not a terrible day food -wise, but damn those pancakes…And another thing: I am really starting to hate the taste of rice puffed cakes. I’ve been eating them for days, and I feel like they taste much worse now. I guess I won’t eat them at all this weekend.
Anyway Have a good weekend all

So I made a plan ..how fast I should be losing weight. I think it’s doable..I am only going to weigh myself on these days:
Jan 25 - 64kg/141lbs current weight.
Febr 1 - 62kg/137lbs - losing water
Febr 8 - 61kg/134lbs
Febr 15 - 60kg/ 132lbs
Febr 22 - 59kg/130lbs
Febr 29 - 58kg/ 127lbs
March 7 - 57kg/ 125lbs
March 14 - 56kg/123 lbs
And after that: Shopping for jeans!
I did some real exercise today… for 15 minutes. I hate it, but I’m still gonna do it again later. Also I am very nervous about the fact that I can’t skip lunch, my dad would be very angry if I did that- or if I ate something different than his food, but considering the fatty food he makes, I am never going to lose weight this way. So I should figure out a way to skip dinner … even though I love dinner and that’s when I have my food cravings. I don’t know what to do 
I’m going to update this post later and write down what I ate and how skipping dinner went…
Update: For breakfast I had juice from 1 big carrot, 1/2 apple, an orange and 3 puffed rice cakes with a little chicken salami. For lunch chicken paprikash with green beans and I didn’t eat any bread with that. For dinner I had a fruit salad: some pineapple, 1 kiwi and 1/2 orange. Sooo… I’m thinking of drinking tomato juice later.. and after that when I get hungry herbal tea. We’ll see how it goes…
Soo I’ve been watching the first 2 episodes of Hoarders just now… and WOW. My problems just seem so unimportant comparing… How can people get to that state, it’s hard to imagine. I hate reality tv, but this is more like a documentary. There was a woman whose house was full of food - but I mean you could feed all the children in Africa for one day if 90% of the food wasn’t already expired… and she still wouldn’t throw any of it away, because she didn’t believe it’s really gone bad. People were throwing away a rotten pumpkin they picked up from her kitchen floor with a shovel, and she still wanted to save the seeds. She wanted to save a 2 year old ricotta cheese … Maybe I just have to think about that today and I won’t be so hungry… Here’s her fridge she sometimes has to duct tape because it’s so full.
Update 2: So I finished the exercise as I planned..but also I had dinner, which I didn’t plan. I ate a few bites of cottage cheese with salami and an apple. I have a friend who lost 8kgs/17lbs just by cutting dinner completely. And now she has a smoking hot body. How? How can someone do that??

So here I am ..I’m so angry all day I could kick someone. I’ve been quarreling with my brother and my mom all day. Taking way to seriously everything. I don’t know if it’s because of my diet change or if it’s just a bad day. And I’m kind of missing my boyfriend, he is my best friend and the only one who can calm me when I’m like this. Anyway he’s coming back from another city in 4 days I think. I met with one of my friends and we had a great talk, but it’s just not the same. I just want this day to be over. Or get drunk. But obviously if I can’t eat bread I shouldn’t drink alcohol either…Today I bought puffed rice cakes, to eat instead of bread. I miss bread…Anyway it’s way less calories and a lot more healthy. 1 rice cake- 35 kcal. And it tastes all right…
For breakfast I had juice from 2 small apples, an orange and 1/2 grapefruit. Later I had 2 puffed rice cakes with a little chicken salami…oh and there was the hot chocolate I drank with my friend… For lunch I had potato pancakes with jam, thanks to my dad. I hate to break my diet with things I don’t even like. I had as little as possible. I’m planning to have 3 rice cakes, some chicken salami and vegetable juice for dinner, but if anything changes I’ll update. Or if I kick someone…
Also I’m taking my dog for a BIG walk today. That should count as exercise. Here are some pictures of the breed it’s not very common. If you’re an animal lover like me you might like this - a hungarian puli
Update: So I ate some dried figs 3 or 4. I had to get that off my chest…Else everything went fine food-wise, but it was still a bad day. Time to sleep

So today went fine…
For breakfast I made juice from 2 carrots, an orange and 3 apples. I wouldn’t know the exact calories, maybe I’ll start counting calories later. I’m not sure if that’s going to help. For lunch I ate chicken soup, chicken breast and peas…my dad made it so I’m sure he used a lot of oil. He even put cheese in the peas. He is a big man and looks down on anyone who might attempt to eat healthy. Probably because he doesn’t have it in him to do the same. Later I drank sugar free cocoa, and for dinner I had a little cheese, salami and juice from 2 carrots, a tangerine and beets. I really love making these vitamin cocktails… gets very creative
Today I started taking some diet pills, too. The ingredients are natural such as: birch leaf, corn silk, senna and some other herbs. I take it 3 times a day before every meal.
Other than that I did some exercise but I got bored after 10 minutes and I couldn’t really think of what to do next… next time I’ll watch Youtube I know they have some 10-20 minute workouts there.
It’s 11 pm here and I’m getting a little hungry so I think I’ll have some herbal tea and then I’ll just go to sleep. Tomorrow I HAVE TO study. I must.
