hey i'm new and thought this would be a good place for me to keep accountable :)

this is not so much planning my meals as it is just posting my intake..hope that's ok
i'm one of those lucky dieters who lose weight without much thought. i can eat up to 2000 per day and still lose weight. i'm an athlete involved in cx running, volleyball, and soccer.
i also need to keep my calorie intake relatively high to help me along in recovery. i've been severely bulimic for nearly 11 years :(
i don't label meals as breakfast, lunch, or dinner..i prefer to simply call them meals because i eat very sporadically throughout the day

m1: oatmeal w/ raisins, an apple, a yogurt, coffee
m2: grilled chicken salad from subway, an apple, diet coke
m3: cereal (1 cup honey bunches of oats, 3/4 cup skim milk)
m4: a yogurt and a ww pb&j
m5[plan]: salad w/ low sodium tuna, grapes, some carrots
m6[plan]: probably some natural ice cream or something sweet

my total today will probably be around 1800 or so

welcome ginger! make yourself right at home, and post your food anyway you like! lucky for you having the fast metabolism!! i look forward to getting to know you1

good day so far today, i had WW angel hair pasta for dinner for the first time today. i had convinced myself i would hate it but it was actually good. the kids didn't even notice it was whole wheat, it's a keeper.

tomorrows plan 5/17/06

m6: bowl of ice cream (probably about a cup and 1/2's worth)

right around 1800 for the day

Gingerbread, I'm glad you found your way here! :wave:
I do something similar. I have to have three meals and three snacks a day. I don't recognize hunger well, so keeping myself fueled during the day helps stave off the binging. :yes:

Jodi, I'm grocery shopping tonight. ;) I'm going to sit down right now and plan my meals for the next few days. If you don't hear back from me, please holler... :lol3:

i've had an amazing day so far
i jogged 3 miles @ 9min/mile, picked up the pace and ran 1.5 @ 6min/mile, cooled down with a 3 mile walk home. i feel absolutely incredible right now

other good things about today:
-i am now promised to my boyfriend of 3 years(he put a ring on my finger and everything) offical engagement is not an option for us right now as we're both in college but it'll definitely happen down the road. there is NO doubt that he's my soul mate :D
-i somehow managed to pull a 3.4 GPA..despite the fact that this has been my absolute WORST year with bulimia and was failing 1/2 my classes midsemester.

m1: oatmeal, 2 slices ww toast w/ a teeny amount of pb, an apple, a yogurt, coffee
m2: large salad (i'm talking like 5 cups of lettuce, 6oz low sodium tuna, and ff dressing), grapes, a large apple, a slice of cheese

the rest of the day is up in the air


sidenote: i haven't binged or b/ped in a week :encore:

m3: bowl of honey bunches of oats (1 cup cereal, 1/2 cup skim milk)
m4: ww pb&j (2 slices ww bread, 1 tbsp pb, 1 tbsp jelly), a yogurt, 2 sf jello puddings
m5: bowl of ice cream

total = 2000

i'm feeling a little uneasy about the ice cream. i feel like i ate like crap today :(

good job on the 3.4 gingerbread!! and the binge free week.

ellis have fun shopping!!

thursday 5/18
b- fiber 1, skim milk, banana, coffee, water
s- grapes
l- chicken breast, tomato and cuke salad, beets, water
s- ff yogurt, green tea, watermelon, water
d- DS's sports banquet and it's a buffet (aaack!!) limiting myself to 1 chicken breast, whatever veggie they have, a spoon of whatever potato they have and small salad. wish me luck!!

exercise- as many steps as i can get in for the day!
me time- maybe i'll meditate before we go to the dinner?

have a good thoughtful day dear chicks!!

Shopping, Jodi? :dizzy: Where did my evening go!? :yikes:

I've eaten badly today. I'm not even to going to talk about it. I'm seeing my doc tomorrow for a weigh-in, so I'll keep ya'll posted.

Jodi, good luck with the buffet tomorrow! You can do this, hon! :hug:

Gingerbread, congratulations on the ring and your marks!! Oh, and the exercise!! :hat: Wow, your life sounds GREAT right now!! :)

Must get groceries...

taking the day off today. i woke up this morning with my right hamstring seriously aching. i'm kicking myself for not stretching more after my run yesterday..ah well, hindsight is 20/20

m1: oatmeal w/ raisins and honey, an apple, a yogurt, coffee, water
m2: ww pb&j (2 slices ww bread, 1 tblsp pb, 1 tblsp jelly), another apple, about a cup of green beans

m3-m6 will be added later

oh, and i've changed my goal weight. i talked to my doctor and she thinks it best that i don't go below 145. i have a very large bone structure with a good amount of muscle. to preserve that, we agreed that 150 would be a good weight for me.
127 was my absolute lowest and i was nothing but a sack of bones and a size 6 back then so that just goes to show how big my frame is.

dangit i keep rambling

the banquet is done!! i stuck to the plan! i am so happy, i didn't even sneak a piece of cake.
