Hi Kara
Even though you had toast in the morning good for you for not ruining the whole day and getting back on track with eating healthy! It's so hard when you eat something bad in the morning.. I sometimes think I might as well give up that day, even though I know I shouldn't! My family isn't healthy eaters either which makes it harder... I live with my grandparents and every weekend my aunt & mom comes over to have a big breakfast... all the works... it sucks that I cant eat it lol but I have to pound it in my head it's not worth it! My whole famiy is over weight about 250-300lbs.
I was raised by my mother and she's always had a problem with her weight& drugs, growing up she would aways use food as my reward... if I was sad, if I did something good, if she did something bad.. etc. I use food as everything now.. especially if I'm stressed or upset , it's the only thing that makes me immediatley happy. I did graduate in 03'.. my senior year was when I started losing weight when my stepdad went to prison and I was working at Subway Sand. When I turned 18 I moved out and by the time I was 19 I got down to 135lbs... At about 160lbs I started excercising with a girlfriend like crazy. I moved when I was 20 with a gf who ate like I used to and I fell right back into my old ways... I was also to far from the gym so stopped excercising and as of Dec 07 I was 190lbs...
Luckily now I do know a lot more about healthy eating but I still get overwhelmed. My mom went to rehab Nov 06, and she's been asking me to move about 3 hours away where my grandparents lived, I told her I would if she stayed clean so we moved in May 07... I still dont have any close girlfriends here and I hate doing things by myself.
Good job with the 25 lbs! Thank you for writing me I'm reay excited! Telling each other what we eat will help with ideas...
I just started eating frozen grapes they're yummy... since I've started the Fat Smash diet I've been eating lots of fruits & veggies. I love steamed broccoli and I put some seasoning on it, canned corn, baby carrots, strawberries, grapes, apples, bananas & tangerines are my fav.
Otherwise I usually have vegetable soups like split pea soup, tomato soup, vegetable soup or beans. I also just started eating fake meat... which I really like. The boca burger patties with mustard & ketchup, or morningstar farms has a lot of different fake meat options: chicken patty, sausage and even chicken wings. For breakfast oatmeal with fresh fruit, egg whites with fake sausage and veggies...
I think I'm writing a book now lol.... ttyl
