the stir fry I made up last night was so good, I didn't have the ingredients that I thought I had so I I did some substituting. I added a little hoisin sauce & it was delicious!
PHAT I do the same thing when I run out of an ingredient for a recipe, and substitute. It ususally turns out to be a great recipe! I love how that happens.

I'd set a goal for 1400 but have had a hard time getting there cuz have been eating so many veggies. Decided to have a goal range instead, as long as I'm between 1200-1400, I'll stop eating when full rather than adding stuff to up calories. This is only happening because I'm eating better than I used to, less starchy fatty stuff. But am also keeping those saved calories in mind for when I go out tomorrow night and over the weekend.
Thanks PHAT & PotScrubber! (:
I really have a huge urge to binge at night specifically Peanut butter. I manage to control it but I feel like it takes such an effort. Every night I sorta want to give up and give in but its so hard because I know how I will feel if I do.

I'm quite happy about only being 46 over. I'm trying to not worry too much about that.
1/24 thursday
I'm not happy to say I didn'thave a great food day.... ate badly and didn't count. But... I am trying to not be too depressed and down about it beacuse I need to do better today. I am absolutely forcing myself to count every calorie today no mater what. Because one thing is for sure I feel really guilty for binging on junk , and I realise its just not worth it in the end to eat the stuff and then feel this bad. I truely think I learned my lesson. So in a way I am sorta "happy" this happened cuz it pushed me in the right dirrection.
