| Im back with some more ranting... Another bad day ( my last post was about the nutty jumble bars)... cereal for breakfast, 100 cal popcorn for snack...and then in celebration for my last day at my job, we ordered take out from my fave lunch place on the biz card :)...I was good with my cup of chili and spinach salad (dress on side) but then duh duh duuhhh...my sis and I split banana pudding, but Im talking the mother of all banana puddings. She had a few bites (like a normal person) and then my inner beast came out and finished the whole damn thing! like 5 servings! I knew I shoud stop, but I just couldnt. I ate until I couldnt move. I have been sitting in uncomfortable PAIN for about an hour. I almost wish I could throw it up, but I wont go that far. I am so upset with myself, because I have been so focused on losing weight for a beach trip next week, and it seems as if I am self sabotoging myself ( lost and then plateaued at a decent weight)... Whats next? The good half wants to walk around after work and have a LIGHT dinner, but the evil half says f#*! it and eat more. Argggg....I hate all of these little voices. Wish me luck...Im going to need it for tonight (Friday) Anyone have advice? |

| Motivation | No Chocolate Binge Challenge! | Apr 19 2007 20:12 (UTC) |

| I went 46 whole days without chocolate for lent!!! I mean, talk about the hardest thing Ive ever done. Nobody believed I could do it, which pushed me that much more. What was so painful was all of my favorite easter candies were out (mini-cadburry eggs anyone??) as well as GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ( I could survive on somoa and thin mints forever). Torture times two. But I did it, and I am so proud of myself. It really did make me appreciate how yummy ichocolate is, but also how important it is to savor it! Instead of wasting calories on mediocre candy bars and diet snacks, it taught me to save those calories for when it is truly worth it (Sprinkles dark chocolate cupcakes - 500 calories of sheer bliss.) I dont think I will ever be able to give it up again, but it is nice to know I can. I highly recommend this challenge to help appreciate chocolate more as well as push your self! Good Luck! |

| Maintaining | GINORMOUS breakfast | Apr 18 2007 17:53 (UTC) |

| I find that i am ravenous in the morning, but have come to realize that it is an emotional issue. I will be full after a one bowl oatmeal, but I will just keep eating and eating despite fullness. It is like all the food in my kitchen will go away if I dont eat it fast enough. (but that is for another thread lol) ANyways, I really have to keep a leash on my breakfast, and just step back and say stop. But here are some things in the morning that fill me up so quickly I cannot go back for more. Amy's breakfast burritos are SO filling, and only 250 cal. I top with cottage cheese instead of sour cream for around 300 cal. These things leave me like Im about to pop! Yummy. or try Peanut butter and no sugar added jelly with blueberry multigrain waffles. They keep me full until lunch and its only around 300 cal. as well. |

| Hi everyone! I am a binger. What strarted as a great metabolism and huge appetite turned into college (beer, pizza, beer...) and NO metablolism. Now Im in the real world and facing everyday as it comes... So, Ive been really on track the past month and a half (can remember each binge/food...which is a good sign for me.) But last night was bad. I got the bright idea to bake something "healthy" for the girls in my office. I went to the William Sonoma site and found these delicious "nutty jumbles"... I was like, yummy, lots of healthy nuts. and Ill use splenda and egg whites instead of the whole egg. I also decided to walk to the grocery store to buy the supplies (2 miles...golf claps) Well, knowing my track record, I know better than to bake by myself... First there was a LARGE pre-bite before it was cooked. and then, a few fresh out of the oven nibbles. break. back to the kitchen sticking my spoon in the fridge. and then screw it, me standing in the kitchen devouring it out of the pan...until it was gone...That is like 3000 calories in one sitting! OMG I was devastated. I couldnt even sleep because I was so upset. I just kept trying to imagine the pounds packing on. So, Its the next morning. Im still feeling the guilt, but it is a new day. I drank green tea before work, and Im about to have some kashi coatmeal. I am also going take off work early and go hike the hollywood sign!!! So, baby steps...but I just hate the way the memory is still nagging me. Thanks for listening, and any moral support would be appreciated! |

| Chai Green tea is amazing! I bought a portable milk foamer and I foam some skim up and add splenda. It's like a gingerbread dessert...delicious and is only about 20 - 30 calories! | |||
| Weight Loss | Seven Pounds in Two Weeks??? | Apr 01 2007 18:10 (UTC) |
|
| I feel like I am reading my own mind here...Last year I reached my target weight of 123 the week before a big beach weekend. And then, wham, the few days before I just started eating everything in sight. I ate my way through the entire trip and came back 130. I was so dissappointed in myself I just kept on eating upon my return back home. I went back to my start weight plus some. It was really depressing, and it has taken me a long time to get back on track. This time i am doing it healthily and slowly, and it is staying off. My advice is this: if you have a binge, shrug it off and start eating healthily again AT YOUR NEXT MEAL. My problem used to be that i would just give up an entire diet after one binge, but it's not that one binge that hurts you, it's the ones that follow that will. I find that really taking a few minutes to analyze why i am about to binge really helps me. Usually i can nail down an emotion and address it before i ruin my diet. It doesnt work everytime, but it helps! And as we all know, every little step in the right direction is a success. GOOD LUCK! | |||
