My daily calorie tally
I grapple with depression and anxiety. Which has made it increasingly difficult to stay on track with food. I have relapsed into eating foods that cause gain. I need to stop the 2 month gain. I hope it's okay to start a thread in the depression forum where I can list my calories and foods eaten. Others are welcome to list their caloric intake if they want. But I really need to be doing this. <3 9/16 day 1. No more bags of snack food puffs.... for now Coffee 150 peaches 200 salad 260 strawberries 180 chicken with vegetables 300 this is all I plan to eat. Total for day: 1090. |
flower ~ I am in the same mental place as you.
I have gained 12 pounds during a 3 week sugar binge. So I am committing to a modified no sugar, no flour program at least through Halloween to combat this intense craving. I, too, suffer from depression. I was beside myself when I weighed in this morning. Thank you for this thread. Just forToday: 2% Cottage Cheese 80 Mozzarella Cheese 80 Pulled Pork 235 SF Barbecue Sauce 10 Swiss Cheese 300 Cheese Stick 45 SF Creamer 15 Salad 60 Hidden Valley Yogurt Dressing 60 Strawberries 50 Total: 935 (I know it is a lot of cheese...but it took the craving away. Tomorrow I will be adding in assorted proteins.) |
MorningGlory I hear ya! Cutting out sugar is not easy. I have done it before. You can do this !!! You did great with your food today. low carb. Low cal. And tomorrow you are going to try to substitute more protein and eat less cheese. I will tell you what I have for cheese. Trader Joe's low fat feta. They have 2 kinds. I buy the square, not the crumbles. Its only 40 calories for an ounce. I use 2 oz per day in salad. With my low-ish calorie dressing. It sounds like you are taking charge. That's awesome!! And as you said "just for today". I am sure I will slip. But I will get right back on track....I hope. I am just glad and relieved that I figured out how to reel it in again....today <3 |
Hi Flower123 :hug: I'm always happy to see/read you! Your picture is so lovely. You've got this--sometimes it takes a while to get in gear.

Thank you, flower! Wonderful words of wisdom! I am going to post my food at the end of day for accountability.
Unfortunately Trader Joe's is an hour from my home. I will certainly look for the feta when I make the trip! Today is a new day and I am feeling supercharged!!! |
MorningGlory So glad that you feel supercharged! Sounds like you are in the groove of commitment. :cheer: I will cheer you on every step of the way.
Today was a high stress day. I will not go into details. But it was very challenging. This resulted in eating "vegan Rob's cheddar puffs".(basically sorghum puffs with salt on them). The good news is I finally got up the nerve to get on the scale. Not as bad as I feared. Goal is to lose 5 lbs by the end of the first week in Nov. I think that is 6 weeks. If I was in a real groove and things were more calm in my life, that would be simple. Coffee 150 vegan cheese puffs 420 peaches 220 Salad with low fat feta with BHF blue cheese yogurt dressing 250 Chicken with green beans, onion, carrot and cabbage 300 total for day 1340 |

I'm glad your courage was rewarded by a better-than-expected number! |
flower ~ So sorry you are going through some stressful times. BUT I am going to be your cheerleader, too! :cheer2:
I am glad the scale was not nearly as bad as you feared! That is considered a plus in my book!!! :goodscale Your goal of 5 pounds by the end of the first of November is certainly attainable...I know you can do this. As promised, my daily food log: Medifast Shake 110 WW Pumpkin Coffee Flavor 15 Sirloin Steak 320 Mushrooms/Onions 90 Broccoli 180 Lt. Greek Yogurt 80 Swiss Cheese 1oz. 100 Total: 895 |
MorningGlory awesome low calorie day. And low carbs too! :cheer2: calories today 40 more than yesterday. This morning I had a 1.4 pound gain. Oh well. That's life I. Dietland. The important thing is I had another sugar free day coffee 150 bamba 480 peaches 200 salad 250 chicken with vegetables 300 total for day 1380 |
This particular WOE is not working for me. I am just going back to Medifast for now.
flower ~ No sugar is good. I applaud you for your sincere efforts! Diet Land is a sometimes full of rocky terrain. We wear the right shoes and still stumble. I think I need to change my complete wardrobe!! :?: Off I go into a different direction, again! |
