Dear Carbs: is not you, is me. -A diary of an emotional eater

Yeah as the others have said, when I have a bad day, I tell myself the next day that at least I didn't go MORE overboard as I would have done a year ago...if my idea of a bad day now is 2000-3000 calories...what must it have been like before!?!

Anyhow, tomorrow IS another day! Hope your stomach feels better soon

hey girl :D

yes they are actual graduation rings! it is a fun job but sometimes if you don't pay attention you screw up the orders lol
awww well.. yes I haven't had any binging episodes as in lately, and I am happy about it. sometimes I go overboard with an extra granola bar or a 100 snack, even another loaf of bred but at the moment I haven't screw things up so badly. Guess I am just frustrated that I can't ''keep my promise'' of eating well, but I am on the right path.
haha loved the almost Star Wars quote, so geeky!

Thank you!!

I know, I tell myself it is about being consistent and not letting a couple of days ruining it for me. Usually I do what most people do, when you go wrong you stop trying. But I tried going to the right path and I haven't had any more ice cream, chips or anything of that sort.


jjjay,

You are absolutely right, too. I try not going up to the 2000 calories (for the whole day) as I want to keep it around 1500 1600 but some days it is almost impossible, mostly because I am terrible at counting calories! But I am doing my best.

you girls ROCK. my diary would not be the same without you
thank you for being here with me!
-emotional- haha aw
 

This week like I said, has been c-r-a-z-y!

I am feeling better now, at least food-wise. I am not beating myself up for eating something I shouldn't, I know this is a long trip and I won't be leaner in a day. I've been overweight all my life, I can totally spend 4-6 months getting in shape, so I feel better overall.

I am a bit stressed out because I have a thesis presentation on Monday. Trying not to translate in food, of course, although I think I've been going overboard with my snacks. guess I have to cut one of them off and just stop eating when I am no longer hungry.

Today I had to get up at 6 am.. I know, on Saturday. Hate hate hate working on Saturdays and especially this early! I was a zombie until around 10-11 am and I was still feeling tired. mainly because my back didn't let me sleep yesterday, I think I slept 3 hours. I know I have to go to the chiropractic, my gf keeps telling me I should go.. and I know. guess I am just scared to find out I am damaged goods! which I know already haha

anyway my food intake for the day looks like this:


morning- a granola bar, half an apple (I was rushing so I forgot to eat a proper breakfast) 100 cal + 90 cal?
lunch- campbell's chicken chunky soup, yum! / 220 cal
two bread loafs/ 200 cal
chocolate covered pretzels /100 cal
total: 520 cal

I also had a pepsi kick because I was almost asleep but that's sugar free.

dinner: I had a small bisquet with ham and cheese and another pack of pretzels, lol I know I shouldn't have!

still I am hoping that's around 1500, although I am still going to a party later on and I am having a beer or two, so that will throw my day off a bit more. I am a total carboholic (which you already know by my journal title) so keeping my carbs to a minimum is the tougher part of my diet.


Also I am sad that I haven't been able to go to the gym this week, not because I am lazy but because I don't have money to pay the month. I know, terrible. I have money on my savings account but I am waiting to see if my dad can help me with it because it would cost me more than a week of hard work (I am only part time so I make roughly 100 bucks a week which isn't enough but for Mexico, beh, it is) and 3 months at my gym cost around 140 bucks and I have to pay them up front!... so yeah. it is kind of an excuse, but not quite.

the thing is I haven't exercised at all and hopefully things will change on monday!

well girls I am going to the party now, hope I won't fall asleep standing up somewhere!!

xoxo and have a great weekend!!
