Confessions of a food Junkie

you cant worry so m uch about what you did yesterday - just fix it and move forward - but you know that :D Keep going and dont let it get you down
 
I'm definately not down...more like doubly determind to get this right! This last month was a learning experience. I now have a better idea of what I have to do in order to be successful in crazy busy times.

1. Time managment
2. Organization
3. Team work (with me and hubby)
4. Preparation, prepartion, prepartion
5. If I screw up, don't let it snowball.
 
thanks!

I need to follow what you've been eating...check out that freakin awesome number! I think I've got to visit your diary more now!:cool:
 
Miss Kallie I have been reading thru most of your diary today. I just wanted to say how amazing I find your determination and setting your goals to focus on life changing instead of just losing the weight. Also the way you have avoided certain places to eat that are so bad for us. Great Job!!!!!
 
ok, so today was not a good day, but to become accountable again, I've got to count and type it out here to get back on track. Today was the second time since june that I've had a regular soda. They are never in the house normally but for some reason there was a couple cans today. I feel embarrassed but oh well I ate it, so I should be able to tell the world. :eek:


At 2pm I ate:

1 can of tuna @ 120 cals ~ 0 grams of fibre ~ 390 mg of sodium
2 slices of whole wheat bread @ 150 cals ~ 3 grams of fibre ~ 310 mg sodium
14 whole wheat crackers @ 180 cals ~ 4 grams of fibre ~ 480 mg sodium
1 can of broccoli(Sp) and cheese soup @ 450 cals ~ 10 grams of fibre ~ 3950 mg of sodium
1/2 raw onion @ 21 calories ~ 1 gram fibre ~ 1.6 mg of sodium
1 tbsp of light mircle whip @ 30 cals ~ o fibre ~ 140 mg of sodium
1 355 mL of coke @ 160 cals ~ o fibre ~ 40 mg sodium

Total cals: 1151 Total Fibre: 18 g Total sodium: 5031.6 :eek:

At 7pm I ate:

1/4 cup of corn @ 35 cals ~ 1g of fibre ~ 125 mg of sodium
1/4 cup of cheese @ 110 cals ~ 0 fibre ~ 220 mg of sodium
2 mini tortillas @ 260 cals ~ 2 g of fibre ~ 500 mg of sodium
1 cup lean ground beef @ 332 cals ~ 0 fibre ~ 491 mg of sodium
2 can of coke @ 160 ~ 0 fibre ~ 40 mg of sodium (recorded in another part...to avoid confusion)

Total cals: 897 Total fibre: 3g Total sodium: 1376 mg


Daily total Cals: 2048 Daily total fibre: 21g Daily total sodium: 6408 mg

Cutting out most soup and regular soda...that would have reduced cals by 480 cals and 120 mgs of sodium. I shouldn't have ate the whole can of soup, but I was really hungry. I was lazy and didn't want to cook anything and I left my hunger for too long and this is what happens :mad: oh yea and I need space out my food better, ie eat breaky and light meals through out the day rather than 2 large ones.

Thank you very much!

My biggest issue is with eating out and eating healthy at home instead. First I need to cut out the fast food then I need to cut out dine in places by mainly limiting how many times I am permitted a month to go.

I have a plan for this once all that garbage is finally out of my system. I need to make my dinners at home more fun and romantic. I do fine during the day, but it is the evening where work needs to be done. Also, team work between me and my husband would also help. :D
 
Well for exercise yesterday. I did 45 minutes of an exercise dvd (strippercise LOL :eek: ) and then 10 minutes of free weights for a total of 55 minutes of intentional exercise :)
 
strippersize! omg! that sounds like so much fun!

You should get the pole dancing one as well :D
 
IT is a lot of fun, but it makes me realize how much flexibility I've lost.

BAh, I just keep working on it until I've got the first routine down and then I move on to the next one. Its The Camen Electra series...it's actually striptease or whatever, but I figured hey, I might as well learn balance, flexibility, co-ordination and some dance in the process.

Like I said I'm a closet skank LOL :p :D
 
Hey! I haven't been by here in a long while! i'm so sorry! So, what's new in you're neighborhood?
 
NOt too much...just kind of on a break from school. well actually more like procrastinating from studying and getting over due assignments done LOL. This is so much more fun!
 
LOL, Yea, I'm just practising so when I'm ready to bring her out of the closet, I'll be a pro LOL.

In all seriousness though, I love the workout, cuz it doesn't seem like a work out. I only have the first dvd and there are 5 all together. The first one is a low-impact workout, the second is a high-impact workout, the third is I forget? the fouth is a lapdance, chair routine and the last one is the hip-hop routine. I want them all eventually.


So yesterday my food choices sucked again. I have to be accountable for my bad choices and my binges. :eek: :( I would be doing so much better if I could just eliminate the fast food from my diet. I'm almost there though. I only have one more place to ban (B.K.) and that's in 3 weeks. If I do it all at once, I self-sabotoge. It really works for me to do it one place at a time. But this is the first time I've had fast food for a week.


Dec 8, 2006

2:30 pm.

15g of gold fish @ (add cals later)
1.5 cups of fat free pudding @ 135 cals.


5pm

1 diet coke @ 0 cals
1 chicken skewer
1 cup of seasoned rice
1 tbsp of this creammy sauce
1 gingerbread cookie, too much icing (son and I made gingerbread house)

11pm:eek: This is the bad part!!!

1 double whopper junior no cheese, no tomatoe
1 tendercrisp chicken sandwhich no tomatoe
1 cheese burger


I am really embarrased. I can't even believe how I could stuff all that into me. When I read that it really dawns on me, how I gained all my weight to begin with. I'm estimating my cals at 2600 cals for the day. :mad: I hope the embarassement from posting this will help me give myself a wakeup call.

Actually I do think it helped, because I didn't even realize how much cals I was putting into my body until I had to write it out and count the cals.

Today my goal is to stay under 2000 calories.
 
a little skankiness is good for us...
your day wasnt that bad to begin with - light on food if anyhting...

do you know why -- emotionally or otherwise - you had the binge last night (and you don't have to answer but sometimes just knowig why you did it helps prevent it inthe future)
 
Hmm, good question.

Deep down, the one thing I can think of, is because I give myself permission for one thing that isn't too bad and then it's like, well one more won't hurt. I have to know I don't have the willpower to stop myself from going to far yet. It's kind of all or nothing for me. Either I never have it or I have too much, which I'm discovering more and more about myself.

I've also discovered how important it really is to me to write my food down and count the calories. During the summer months, I did extremely well because I monitored my food intake and what and when I was putting food into my body. Through the school months, I've really let that get away from me and I've noticed bad habbits coming back. Ie. Night time snacking. During the summer, I did not have one night where I had night snacking problems. I know I can do this if I take proper care, so it's time to get back on track with the monitoring of food intake.

Another habit I need to get back is eating breaky and spacing food out. I know that my food was pretty light and when that happens it normally means I hork down food because I've let myself get too hungry.

Anyways, after the embarrassement of people reading what I ate yesterday, I can pretty much garentee that isn't going to happen again anytime soon LOL!
 
Welp, today is going much better!

I just got done 45 minutes of Carmen Electra dvd workout. Man, 45 minutes of that makes me feel more tired thatn an 1 hour and 10 minutes on the elliptical. Perhaps because this dvd makes me use basically more of my entire body.

Now I just want to do another round of the warm up and second routine tonight, plus 20 minutes (2 sets of 10 mins) of free weights and I'll feel good about today. :D

I find if I break the workout into 2 times, I do better because I've had time to recover from the first time LOL.

Food is going well for today too. I'm not going to let myself binge today!
 
Oh yea and I must celebrate a little bit today, because it's been 100 days today since I started counting how many days I could go without Tim Hortons!!!

I pretty proud of that because I was seriously addicted. Woot!:D
