http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow Just another 3fatchicks.com weblog Tue, 07 Apr 2009 01:58:02 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I am beyond drained from many days of working and only Sunday off to recuperate. I am learning that staying up late is definitely not helping my eating- so I am making a serious effort to go to bed by 10:30 tonight! Also, if I am tired during the day, I ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/04/06/day-three/ I'm more positive right now. Last week I made the classic mistake. I started restricting myself too much on Monday. Instead of following weight watchers points, which had been working well enough, I was eating egg whites, spinach salads, and broccoli only. So sure enough- by Wednesday I was in ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/04/05/optimistic/ I am back from my travels and ready to get back to eating right. While away I didn't follow points, I just tried to eat normally and enjoy my vacation without overdoing it. The first day I seriously overdid it, but then as I forgave myself and moved on, I ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/03/30/im-back/ I wish everyday was a day off! I had a very productive day and I'm feeling good about losing weight. I woke up late (11am!!) and read some blogs and had coffee. Then before a big oatmeal breakfast I did the 30 Day Shred. After bfast I went on a longggg ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/03/24/day-offheavennnnn/ Each day I'm getting closer. I'm not giving up. Again I went a little over, due to some late night munchies. This time I was done with points after my dinner and s/f pudding. I added on another (and the last) pudding and a handful of melba crackers. Okay so not a ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/03/23/almost-there/ I am hiding in my room right now. I locked the door and am chewing gum and I refuse to get up because if I do I will walk downstairs to the kithen and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. Not only am I out of points, but it ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/03/23/hiding/ For one day! It's not fun to avoid sugar- but it is possible if I haven't had any. I think once I have a little sugar- I want an endless amount. So moral of the story: DONT TAKE THE FIRST BITE. I am under in points today AND I did the ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/03/21/sugar-free-and-binge-free/ Well hopefully eureka.. I think I am discovering a major trigger for my binges. SUGAR. EVIL SUGAR. Yesterday I was eating well..good portions- lots of veggies and healthy stuff. Then I had a few points left and I decided I really wanted a bowl of oatmeal. So I had one of ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/03/21/eureka/ I dont know what to say right now. I'm not going to have a seriously depressing blog..but I can't help it right now. I ate a national debt worth of calories today. I hate binging. I hate everything about it, yet it comforts me. So today- even though this does not ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/03/20/blech/ Today it was a beautiful and almost warm day. It has been the coldest winter I have ever lived through ( I just moved up north from North Carolina) and I was walking down the street on my lunch break to grab a slice of pizza. I couldn't understand why I felt anxious ... http://www.3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/rachelnow/2009/03/18/not-for-the-easily-offended/
