Tisha, you're so... together with your food journaling! Wow, I'm impressed. :)

Jodi, I know how difficult quitting is. (well, actually I don't, but I feel for ya) Have confidence in yourself. If you can carry three children around for nine months each, you can quit smoking. (sorry... that probably didn't make sense, but I have a fever...) :lol:
Anyhow, we're right behind you. :hug:

Stacey, welcome! :welcome3: Licorice is such a bugger. It's fat free and rubbery, so you figure it has no calories... :lol:

Spirit, how are you doing today? :wave:

Brave, come on, girl... you can do this! :hug:
Icing... I used to make a bowl of it to eat. :yikes:

I'm doing well so far. Because I'm sick, I think...

- 1 whole wheat toast w/peanut butter
- water water water

Well, honestly, I'm probably too "together" about it. It's just part of that obsessive, addictive behavior we all know and love. lol But, if obsessing about making my food journal look pretty helps, then I'm not gonna stop myself.

:dizzy:

Plus, this is how I keep track of it for myself...on my computer...so it's not like I'm formatting it perfectly just to post it here. I also send it to my two support people (two friends) for the encouragement. It helps me get through my days.

hello there tisha, brave, and spitrit!!

Supper and so forth October 4th
Stuffed chicken breast, perogies, sour cream and junk

ugh. Yesterday I was involved with a meat pie, Turtles ice cream, and raisin bran cereal. I can't get it together. :(

Had a terrible day today. Got some bad news about my son and dealt with it by eating chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. I am just disgusted with myself and lack of self control.

Hi Ladies,

I like what you have going on here. Can I start posting my days here?

Tisha, thanks for the hug... you're a sweetheart. :) Today WAS a much better day. :hat:

Spirit, I'm so sorry about your son. :( Sending you a big hug and some prayers. :hug:

Whit, welcome! :welcome3: Yes, please join in!

How's everyone else doing? :wave:

Here's my first post on this thread...

After yesterday I decided to stop "planning" my days because I rarely stick to them and simply become anxious when "feeding" time approaches. I have decided to go with the flow, eat when hungry, and make healthy choices.

B - None.

L - Shrimp & Vegetable Stir Fry - 400
Found in the frozen section. Made the whole bag. Ate half for lunch, half for dinner.

D - Shrimp & Vegetable Stir Fry - 400

S - Lots of fruit
50 Grapes - 150
Orange - 65
Diced Peaches - 60

Morning - 3 miles on treadmill (Alternating 4.0 at 8% incline and 4.2 at 0% incline)

Evening - 2.5 miles on treadmill (3.5 at 9% and 10% incline)

I usually don't work out twice a day but I was bored this evening.

Hi guys I'm back. I feel like a loser. I failed the days I posted on here earlier where I tried. But today I'm determined. I was going to start yesterday but my dad was so hungry he wanted to stop by McDonalds which was so close to us. I was hungry to but I was going to hold it in until we got home...but I did want something sweet too! So we ate at McDonalds. I could have chose healthy but that just went through my mind like nothing as I was so happy to be out of the house and with dad. So I chose chicken tenders (not bad) 3 w/ BBQ sauce, 2 apple pies for a dollar (bad), ducle de leche pie (very bad), small diet coke (good). Dad chose good for him but also chose that cinnabun and wanted me to have half so i was like yum yum and ate half.

The rest of the day I ate healthy. Mom cooked rice with salmon stuffed with crab meat. I didn't eat much after that.

TODAY'S A NEW DAY. I'M RESTARTED BECAUSE I'M SERIOUS!

Meal plan for the day:

breakfast:

oatmeal
fruit

snack:

smoothie

lunch:

cheese sandwich or Chef Boyardee small cans
fruit

snack:

smoothie

dinner:

Mom's rice and salmon stuffed with crabmeat
fruit

THATS IT!

I hope everything goes well. 2 obstacles. 1) Group therapy today: Its cold in there and I tend to fall asleep in there and get hungry. 2) Night eating.
