Food looks Yummy!!! You are doing a good job.. Keep it up and stay POSITIVE.. Have a Great Day and don't forget to drink your WATER:D
 
i really need to take in a few more calories i just cant. think ill pick up some of those vitamin shakes...slimfast...ensure... just so i can have a normal calorie intake.........
 
I know what you mean about the bland diet foods. I was watching Oprah one day and she said something about eating dry toast and a poached egg for breakfast. I thought ick. I just can't do dry toast. Way to bland. That is the only time I use marjarine.

I like to spice it up a little so I tend to drown my food in salt. Which I am working hard to get away from. I have been subsitituting salt for other tasty spices. Being creative is pretty important if you want to do this long term. At least I have just begun to realize this for myself.
 
thanks.... alot of it I think starts with the shopping. not all chicken and turkey is made the same. I buy alot of the fresh ground turkey. There are some that are mostly white meat and those are the best for you,very lean. Then some have a mix of light and dark meat. taste better but alot more calories. Those are a little dry when it comes to just a baked patty. But you can put it in something like chili, the spices give it a great taste and the tomato sauce keeps if from being dry. just watch the calories in the beans and such..the main thing i do different in something like chili is ill add chicken or beef stock instead of the beer i would normally use. I guess i just take what I like and change it more heart healthy and calorie friendly.
 
Looking good! :D I agree with you on upping the calorie intake. I was getting kind of worried for a minute until I read where you said that. ;)
 
well its 2:30 in the morning and im still up. I dont know why i cant sleep but its been like this since i started my diet for the most part. I have abunch of energy and im just not hungry...... ah well think ill go for a walk.....
Welcome to a brand new day.......
 
well im back from my walk. It turned out to be more of a swim lol. man the sky really opened up. How hard is it to build an ark anyhow. well one good thing came out of it, I started walking and im back 5 miles later. Thats the one thing about living out of the city, you can walk and walk and walk. It took me longer to get home than getting there. after all skunks always have the right of way lol. so i didnt mind waiting to cross the street.
 
Heh - walking with wildlife- take a camera with you next time :) pictures of your nature hike... I learned the hard way... Skunks can do whatever they want- -where ever they want... whenever they want.. I'll wait :)

I love walking in the rain - and splashing in puddles... :)
 
well im doing my meal plan for today. Im only up to 810 calories. how was i ever able to hold 3000-6000 calories? I know I know its not enough but thats just breakfast,lunch and dinner. Still thinking on my snack.
 
Hey hillybillylee,

I know what you mean. When I see how well I eat (and I enjoy the food I eat a lot when it's healthy and guilt-free and doing my body good ;) ) for so few calories, I'm amazed at how I managed to put on all the weight. The crappy food (excuse me) is really not worth the amount of calories it is - sometimes it helps to start thinking when you're off track "I could be having a whole bag of delicious cold cherries/some cantaloupe/etc - and I would actually not mind - instead of this greasy junk food...."

Ok, I'm rambling. Good luck!:)
 
cecilia It still seems odd. how I can stay full from so little calories. But the food im eating is really alot of food. well it seems that way anyhow. I guess thats why i have trouble. cooking healthy for some reason i dont get the huge sweet tooth. and when i do have something sweet like a weight watchers ice cream or maybe some juice it just seems extra sweet. So i think im getting over the whole sugar is the only food thing......
 
well everything is going ok for today. I just had soup for lunch so im running a meal behind time wise. I still havent figured out my snack or extra meal. Ill find something because im only in the low 800's after dinner....
 
Keep eating! You are doing so well but don't get crazy on us. I know you realize this, but I have to say it. :) You are keeping a close eye on things. Woo hoo!
 
I am amazed at how well you are doing to drop so many calories so easily...Yay for you!!! I wish I thought ice cream was too sweet. Oh how I love my ice cream, yet it does such awful things to my thighs:p !!!! Good job on the walk...one of my favorite exercises!!!! Keep up the good work inspiring us all to stay on track!
 
really I never thought i could get by on this few of calories. Since i dropped all the processed sugars I just dont feel the need i used to. I still love to cook and eat what i do, it just dosent consume me anymore. The ice cream I guess just seems to sweet Because i hardly have any sugar anymore so when i do its like wow. I get alot of my inspiration from the people on here. I wont name you all cause id be here for days lol. I started out eating closer to 3000 cals on my diet and thinking how yall can survive on like 800-1200 cals. Then i started looking at what yall were eating and how much and it just clicked. A light came on and its been easy every since. Now for me its a struggle to get enough calories in. Maybe it was depression from not being able to move the last few years. Maybe its me wanting to be around for my kids. It used to bother me what people thought, the looks of discust would really cut through me. you know the looks at the restaurant "should they be here, hey why dont you try a salad?" The person looking back at you in the big windows at the mall only to realize thats what you look like to other people. I found this forum and even though about 90% if the people on here were newb's just like me, I found i could draw strength from others looking for the same goal...... Thanks everyone.... -----{@
