Diary of Antagonist

Ew, I sounded whiny yesterday.
Aaanyway.
I did end up having time for some weight lifting. So that's good.

I gots a question though. Is it true that when having eggs we should only eat the whites and not the yolk? (For weight loss, I mean.) I heard that, and I'm not sure what to do about it:eek:

10 days to my birthday:)
 
Just want to start off by saying Hi and congrats on your new diary!! I hope it does you well.


Okay I'm the slow kid in the class but what do you eat to stay under 1200 calories a day?? I mean that seems like almost nothing. Is there variety or do you eat the same thing for the most part?

I guess I just wonder because I am frusterated with my own eating and my hubby said to eat less calories but my goodness counting calories is so frusterating!
 
Took me a while to get used to it.
But now I'm able to have three meals a day with snacks in between, and sometimes it doesn't even add up to 1200.
I'll say what I had yesterday, for example.

Breakfast:
- peanut butter and jelly sandwich with whole wheat bread
- milk

Lunch:
- ...some other kind of sandwich:p
- yogourt
- apple

After-school Snack:
- grapes
- (later) chocolate chip rice cakes

Dinner:
- chicken
- salad
- mashed potatoes

Bedtime snack:
- ice cream cone without the ice cream

More or less 1200. It's different every day. (I should do that more often...it is my journal:rolleyes: )
 
You know that seems like more cals but I don't have a good perception of calorie intake.

I think if I could find something simple I could stick with eating less calories per day. I need to eat about 1500 to loose weight and still be able to function properly. I decided to do the lc thing cause I want (need!!) to cut out the sugar intake. It seems when I give myself and inch I take a mile!!
 
I was the same...way too much sugar every day...but now I barely have to watch what I'm eating anymore, I instinctively go for the healthier food. (There is, however, a ridiculous amount of junk food in my kitchen, so it was VERY hard at first)

I changed my ticker. I've decided to divide my long-term goal into three small ones - 140, 130, 120. My Christmas goal seems really small compared to other people's. But I seem to lose weight more slowly than everyone else here:eek: hehe...

Don't worry about it some of us have lots more to loose (particularly me) But its cool we are all here shooting for a goal!

Good Luck!
 
You too:)

Today I missed school 'cause I had to go to the hospital. (I have juvenile arthritis in my leg and it has to be checked every few months)
Well, they measured my legs as usual and not only is there more muscle tone than two months ago, but I went down 1.5 centimeters in each leg:)
And yesterday my friend said something like "You look like you lost a whole bunch of weight since last year. Lucky."
^ First compliment about my weight...ever. :D (I weighed more than my SW last year.)

I hadn't exercised for two days:)eek: ) but these things motivated me to get back on track.
Also, my arthritis is almost gone and soon I can stop taking the pills. Good news all over the place.

Wow that is wonderful. I am glad to hear that you are re-motivated. Life has a funny way of allowing that to happen just to remind you that your hard work is not in vain!

Congrats!
 
Chocolate is my frenemy

Junk Food: it's the ultimate frenemy.
Especially chocolate. Nobody can trust chocolate anymore. Chocolate is the leader in the gang of backstabbing junk food. It consoles us, it makes us happy to the point where we get addicted, and at the same time it's creeping up behind you, preparing to launch an attack.

Before that happens, you should turn to Healthy Food. Healthy Food is the old friend that you lose touch with when you start to hang out with the cool kids (junk food), but that never completely loses faith in you. It patiently waits for you to realise the truth and come back.

Unfortunately, I didn't realise until it was too late. I'm now in the process of making amends with Healthy Food. It accepted me back right away. What a great friend. We like to reminisce about the old times, before I became corrupted by the bad kids.

Healthy Food will help you get rid of the bad habits you learnt with them, and return to your former self.

Meanwhile, chocolate will get increasingly frustrated by not being able to grab your attention. It will hide in the pantry, ordering its junk food minions to camp out in the fridge, and when you find them there, they call to you. Sometimes it's hard not to listen.

But when in doubt...just call Health Food to the rescue. As always, the hero will beat the crap outta the bad guys.

But the bad guys always come back in the next episode.

So the next time you sense chocolate creeping up on you, or its ugly minions for that matter, don't be scared to fight back. Refuse it to its face. Yell at it, cuss it out.

Punch it, if it comes to that. You can always argue for self-defense.

Just do something! Make sure chocolate doesn't get the best of you. Fight back. Make a scene. Just don't let junk food prevail.

Junk food will not prevail. Not if we can help it.



I know I'm crazy.
But that's really how I feel.:rolleyes:

lol, what a cute and very accurate post!!! :D

Is it weird that chocolate doesn't seem to have much effect on me?? At least I don't think it does... hmm...
 
You know I felt like I was reading a speech that was written for a junkies anonymous meeting. Hehe:D . I need to hang this up somewhere cause chocolate is definetly a major Frenemy for me!!
 
TGIF!

Today was good. Everyone ate brownies except me.

Well, I had a tiny tiny piece, 'cause my friends wanted me to. But it tasted like pure evil. (Not saying it didn't taste good...just that it was evil...lol.)

Math lesson, kiddies!
149lbs - 2lbs = 147lbs:D

I guess I'm officially over my plateau.

Birthday in 6 days:eek:

Didn't exercise yesterday... I'm never motivated on Mondays, what's up with that?
I'll do it today though. In fact, I'll do it right after I post this.
Oh yeah, I changed my avatar, might change it back 'cause it doesn't go with my username anymore... lol:p
...
See, now I don't want to post this, because it means I'll have to exercise.:rolleyes:
Well, too bad for me. Here I go!:eek:
 
i know it sux sometimes 2 pull myself to the gym, so i feel ya! but keep those excersizes up cause it'll keep the ticker rolling down!
 
another pound lost...but...

I had chocolate cake today:eek:*everyone gasps*
It was for my birthday so I couldn't...not eat it...
Well, that's what I told myself, but I know that I could have gone without it. Now my belly feels huge!!
 
Things to eat when I reach my goal:
- cheesecake :p :p :p
- McDonald's
- Ritz crackers
- chocolate icing
- Christmas cookies
- Doritos
- Ketchup chips

You get the idea...
I'm going a little crazy here thinking about that stuff. I'm afraid I can't do the moderation thing. Can't go near junk food or I'll lose control. Like that guy in Finding Nemo.
 
Hey Antaonist,

I must say your story about junk food and especially chocolate hit the nail right on. It is evil:) You made me smile on this gloomy day, so thanks.
Well, have a great day and keep up the good work.
