Astral Week's Food Log

I've not been posting but I've still been doing very well witht he calories. In fact, I got weighed this morning and I am down to 153lbs, which means I lost 2lbs this week! Yay!

I'll be posting calories tonight...

I'm so glad I've finally been able to get it together with this diet. It's taken me months to get back on track, all after one stupid slip-up. But I'm back and it feels pretty darn good. I'm looking forward to getting this weight off that I've gained!

Breakfast

I did okay today. Had an uncharacteristically large dinner, so I just compensated by cutting out a lot of snacks, and I stayed within calories. It was nice that I got to have a yummy breakfast dinner AND still stayed within calories. Delicious!

Breakfast

I'm posting yesterday's calories. I never got around ot it last night and I've been doing really well. I didn't get weighed yesterday morning either, but just hopped on the scale, having had breakfast and clothed, and I am at 155lbs, which is down 2lbs from the highest I've seen, 157lbs (I nearly cried when I saw that number). I feel good that I am so back on track, though. I kinda feel like my "old self", since it's been a week now I've been on track with no slips. So hopefully I can get this weight off soonish!

Breakfast

I know I didn't post yesterday bit that's only because I got home really late last night and just crawled into bed. I did really well though, especially considering I was at a party, surrounded my delicious food and didn't touch any (except for two or three hard pretzels and diet Pepsi). I did very well today too, and I will weigh myself to see where I'm at in the morning.

Breakfast

Another good day!

Breakfast

Wow, four good days in a row (granted, I went over by 35 calories but I'm not going to split hairs, I still did damn good). I don't want to jinx anything, but I have to say, this is the first time in a while (since I first cheated and fell off the wagon back in April) that I am feeling confident and this is a lot easier for me. It's not been a big deal, I've avoided temptation mostly and when I've had temptation shoved at me I've resisted really well. Went food shopping today and got all good stuff in. I feel GOOD. I just hope I keep it up, weekends are hard for me.

Breakfast

Good day #3!

Breakfast

Good day.

Breakfast

So, I've basically been binging the last week or two. Couldn't get the eating under control, and I would bet a lot of money that I am up to almost 160lbs. I am petrified to get on a scale and won't until I've been back "on the wagon" for a few days, so to speak. My size 8s no longer fit me (excepot for two pair that run big), I feel and look terrible. I'm back into it, and I find the only way that I seem to do well is to log my calories, so that's what I'm doing now.

Breakfast

Whoa, 4th day in a row I did well. It's been a while since I've had this many good days. Let's keep it going!

Breakfast

I could've sworn I posted my calories yesterday, but I don't see them. Hmm. I did well, anyway. And I did well today, too!

Breakfast

I had such a BAD week. I messed up at that party at work and never recovered. I am so afraid to see my weight, I haven't been on the scale. So, trying once again...

Breakfast

Okay, three good days (I went over 30 calories, due to bad math, but still did well). Tomorrow will be a challange because we're having a lunch at work, and those have proved to be very tempting to me in the past. I've been unable to resist. So tomorrow, the plan is to bring my TV dinner and just eat 100 calories worth of fruit (which they usually have) in place of my yogurt, that way I say within calories and get to participate some as well. If I can do this, I'll feel pretty confident about how much I am back on track.

Breakfast

I did good today, too!

Breakfast

Yep, I knew I had gained. I am up 3lbs. Very depressing. But I can still turn it around, and I am doing just that now. I resisted a lot of temptation yesterday, so go me! I also have noticed some swelling in my ankles, I wonder if that's from the food I was eating? I hope it goes down soon though. Oh, plus, I am due for my period any day now so that may have contributed to the weight gain slightly (I hope so anyway).

Starting weight: 200lbs
Last week: 150lbs
Current weight: 153lbs

I did very well today.

Breakfast

I had such a bad week, I was afraid to even get on the scale this morning, so I didn't.

I actually cried last night, thinking about how bad I've been doing. I am still in a size 8 jean, but they're getting really tight. I can see the weight gain in my arms. I feel sluggish and fat, I'm breaking out, getting migraines left and right. I feel out of control. I did so good for SEVEN months. I did awesome. And now, I can't seem to do it to just lose 10lbs. At this point. I'd be happy to get back down to 140lbs again.

*sigh*

I finally do have something I've been needing, though - my mother has been on a diet for a month and a half now and has lost 26lbs so far. She's been doing so good, it's inspired me, and she has agreed to be my accountibility partner! If she sees me eating something I shouldn't, she said she will call me on it, which is what I need. And no more of this "I screwed up today, I'll start again tomorrow" attitude, it doesn't work, and if I slip up, I need to promise myself to continue on with the rest of the day. The beauty of calorie counting is I can "make up" for it. I need to remember that.

Okay, I WILL weigh-in tomorrow. I feel physically sick, I need to get my shit together. I need a mantra for whenever I am tempted. I am promising myself that this week I WILL do better, all week long, not just for a few days.

I ate exactly 1300 calories today. Sweet!

Breakfast

I had another bad few days (though I did very well yesterday and stayed within calories, but forgot to post, d'oh!). But hey, I didn't gain! In fact, I still managed to lose a pound! Slow, but at least the last two weeks, despite my slip-ups I've lost SOMEthing. I will focus on that, and keep chugging along. I hope to be back in the 140's by next week.
