Share your daily menus here so we can help each other stay on plan this week!!

I am going to be off plan tonight and tomorrow to celebrate DW's bday. I will be back on Wed., probably on Ph1! Have an awesome OP week!

I went to a friend's party last night. I was completely off plan, felt out of control and then felt disgusted with myself last night and most of today. (So much for being kind to myself with inevitable slip-ups.) I woke up this morning and weighed FOUR pounds more than yesterday. How is that even possible? I'd meant to do P1 today, but my choices weren't smart. BUT, I refuse to go into total binge mode. It would be too easy to gain back all of my weight and look as bad as I feel. Can't go back there, even though I feel like burying my sorrows in a massive binge.

B: 1 egg and 2 egg whites, LC, tumeric, 2 slices whole grain bread, WATER
L: salad with 1/3 avocado, poached chicken, low-fat feta
S: grande latte
D: baked chicken breast or turkey meatloaf

PS: I refuse to change my profile or ticker...I'm hoping I'll be back where I was in a day or two.

EliseVi The 4 pounds is more than likely just water weight, and you will shed it in a day or two. The important thing is to move past the binge and get back to heathy eating.

Phase 1.5 (Fruit, no grain)

Day off for me today (and tomorrow too...hooray) but that means I sleep in and miss my normal breakfast, but i have a snack instead.

Yogurt w/ grapes

Poached eggs (2) topped w/tomatoes, onions, jalapenos & a dollop of sour cream
Glass of skim milk

Cucumber slices & RF Cheddar

Chicken Caeser Salad w/Romaine, Tomatoes, Onion, freshly greated Parmeasan, TBacon, Renee's Mighty Caeser Dressing & of course Chicken
Greenbeans
Glass of Skim Milk

Celery w/ PB (if munchie later)

RiverGirl, thanks for the words of wisdom. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it through this day without giving in to destructive behavior. I just ate an entire box of Trader Joe's dark chocolate crisps. The box isn't even mine! I'm at my parents' house cause I'm taking my mother to the hospital tomorrow. I ate an entire box of my father's chocolates. Now I feel sick to my stomach and embarrassed. BUT here I am with another opportunity to get past the binge and get back to healthy eating ....and I'm going to start right this very second. Tomorrow and the next few days are going to be even more stressful, but I need to remember how ill I feel right now from this (mini) binge. Stuffing myself didn't work for me for the past twenty years and sure as heck isn't going to work for me now. I'm willing myself to remember this!

Hi Ladies. My mom is out of surgery. Phew. Seeing her connected to a dozen tubes in ICU/recovery was scary, but thank heavens the surgery went smoothly. Just holding my breath until she is awake/aware tomorrow morning. THANK YOU for the prayers and positive vibrations for my mom!!! You guys are so sweet. I appreciate it!

Last night was my third day in a row of poor choices. So far today, I have had just a few bites to eat because I was so nervous, but the rest of the day is mine to define! I've adjusted my ticker and profile to reflect the "fruits" of my emotional eating. (Can't believe I ate a ton of stuff I don't even like. Next time I go off plan, maybe I'll be "smart" enough to eat stuff I enjoy!! JK)

L: Coffee with tons of skim and goat-milk yogurt drink (best choices at hospital)
S: Egg white omelet with broccoli and maybe some herbal tea to calm myself!
D: Steamed chicken and broccoli and kale chips (so therapeutic to make them)
S: Greek yogurt with 7 walnut halves and Splenda

Jandaman Congrats on making it through phase 1... and of course on the pounds lost!
I have a really big issue when I comes to starchy carbs, so I haven't officially added any back into my diet. But I have added fruit and I love it more than I ever did before phase 1.
I find it helps to have fruit with protien (ie: apple slices w/ cheese) so that it doesn't affect your blood sugar as dramatically, causing cravings. Good luck on phase 1.5
