I went through my food diary and from May 9 - Yesterday I have consumed about 9000 calories worth of crap!!! i think that has helped me see that if I coudl JUST SAY NO I would be 3 pounds lighter right now... well June is a new month. I have till June 20 to loose about 5-10 more pounds before the Dr orders me to WW; which I can't afford, so we will see...
I went off the deep end again yesterday!! Ugh. I will get back on track, I swear!!!! I can't take feeling so awful anymore. I have to remind myself how good I felt the last couple weeks eating less and exercising way more!
B-Chorizo, cheese, egg, green sauce & potato breakfast burrito
L-Bennett's BBQ- Beef sandwich, few fries, 1 bread, BBQ sauce and a side salad w/ranch
D- Chinese Buffet **I think those 2 words alone describe enough***
Shennan, do you eat them right out of the package? I have the same problem with sweets. I can eat an entire box of cookies in one sitting! Lately, I've started dividing them out into serving sizes right away (generally 3 to a serving), that way, when I grab a snack, I don't grab more than I should at a time. USUALLY, I don't feel the urge to take the trouble to go back for more, either.
Also, I just read about volumetrics in a magazine I get (Nutrition Action Health Letter), and got the books from the library. It's interesting about tweaking meals so you feel more full without using so many calories.
I couldn't afford WW either. (Still can't, actually. I work at a library and make next to nothing.) A couple years ago, I did buy a start up kit on ebay for a resonable price, so I'm able to follow the principles without going broke attending meetings and so forth. It's the old program, but it still works for me.
Good luck with your goal, slow and steady wins the race!

B - oatmeal from a recipe in Cooking Light -- ingredients were oats, skim milk, apple, hazelnuts, almonds, ground flaxseed, cinnamon, vanilla, pinch of salt, and a little brown sugar. Yummy, and very filling, but kind of high-cal. I also had a glass of (skim) milk.
S - half PB&J sandwich with whole wheat bread and sugar-free jelly (I guess this could count as lunch, I kind of skipped lunch today)
S - half a small dipped cone from Dairy Queen
D - spicy chipotle chicken pasta from Cheesecake Factory (I ate half or less of the portion), a couple pieces of bread, and a cocktail (cosmopolitan)
S - half a piece of carrot cake (from the Border's cafe) and half a coffee w/caramel flavoring and whole milk
Even though I skipped lunch, I'm sure I was high on calories today. Planning on not going out again until next Saturday though. And I got a lot of exercise, because we got locked in to my BF's work parking lot, and had to walk home! Hopefully the gate will be open tomorrow morning!
