Exercise- None, vertigo was very bad today. I wanted to dance but couldn’t. I should have lifted weights but didn’t.


Mood was better minus morning anxiety, didn’t hurt myself or overspend today.
 
A good day! Nice job. I hope you string several good days together and then your on a positive roll! Then string a few good weeks together and you get really positive change!
We can do this one good day at a time.
 
Good day yesterday minus the chips and guacamole. Had 8 servings of guacamole, which had 40 grams of fat. Too much. I need to find new healthy snacks.
 
Ooo guacamole! I don't look at macros much, only calories, so I just know that half of a little hass avocado has 120 cals and I'd say it makes one serving. Lovely though!
 
One serving was actually only 60 calories, not 120. Yeah, avocado is a healthier fat. Really wanted poptarts today but didn't have any. Think I ate pretty well again.
 
Ah, that kind of serving. The kind where a small bag of chips is supposed to serve 4 and one third people? I don´t like those :p But, yeah, I guess based on recommended daily intake of stuff they´re correct...
 
I guess I did make the better choice.

Yeah, that kind of serving. Still too much though.

October weigh-ins have not been good:

10/1- 294.6 lbs
10/6- 296.7 lbs
10/8- 295.6 lbs

Current goal- stay under 300 lbs (hopefully without gaining)
Next goal- weigh 285 lbs

I admit it, I've been eating junk. I'm just so stressed. Midterms are coming, that's not helping. Maybe I'll feel a little better after and losing will come easier. Logging what I eat tomorrow. With my rotten luck going with friends to a buffet tomorrow (I didn't chose the restaurant, I was invited after the restaurant was chosen). But I really want to see them so I'm going. The plan is to eat a lot of soybeans and a normal amount of regular healthy food, while trying to skip the fried foods.
 
It is possible to eat well at a buffet. Watching people pile their plates up makes me feel sick. You can do it butterfly xoxo
 
I have been avoiding restaurants like the plague! I do not do well in them and I have not progressed enough to feel I can trust myself in them just yet
 
I suppose it is possible to eat healthy at a buffet but I didn’t fully. I will try avoiding restaurants, good for you brawny.

At the buffet, my friend kept saying things such as “you don’t have to wait for me to get more food” and “you look hungry” which really made it harder. So I’m kind of disappointed about that. I tried to tell her last time I was watching my weight but she just didn’t seem to get it. Anyway, while at the buffet I also found out she is involved in something illegal (I’d rather not say what) so I’m thinking perhaps she isn’t the best person to be my friend and that maybe I should turn her in which case she won’t want to be my friend.

Anyway, really really anxious lately and kind of depressed too so turning to food to cope. Midterm is over so I should be a little less stressed moving forward. But still life isn’t being good to me. I did have poptarts today but I had 2 instead of 4 (my usual) so that’s a little bit of an improvement. One step at a time, maybe only one step a day, but I’ll get there. I will weigh in this weekend, but will probably not be what I’m hoping for.
 
I know firsthand how frustrating it is when the people around us almost seem unwilling to understand that we're trying to do better for ourselves.

Let those baby steps be encouraging for you. I started out the same way. Cut down just a tiny bit here and there. I still don't eat salads or nearly enough fruit, but I maintain what I DO choose to eat well enough that the weight has come off regardless. You don't have to go all out. :p
 
One step at a time is right!
Don't quit!

I was visiting a friend once and we were driving around his town on some errand. Well we passed this really heavy guy who was walking down the road. My friend said " oh there goes buffet bob"
That is a nickname I wish to avoid!
