two coles pizza rolls (800)
two chicken and salad wraps (2 x 300)
ice cream (150)

2807?!?!

GOSH, fail?!

i read somewhere that you should worry less about calories and more about the types of food (ie, eat heaps of unprocessed meat like steak and chicken breasts, and lots of fresh fruit and veg, and minimal processed foods or stuff with preservatives)

BUT STILL.... 2800 is insane, again i thought today was around the 2000 mark, i really need to start taking note of calories BEFORE i eat them!!! :s
 
Today's failure is only greater motivation for tomorrow's success.

I don't know if that's a saying; it sounds like something a lame motivation coach came up with.
Don't stress, girl. We all have days that get thrown my awesome temptations like KFC. Just be sure to not make it a habit, and you'll be all good :)
 
bread (184) chicken (150) and mayo (100)
bread roll (158) seafood highlighter (150) and seafood sauce (100)
make that two of them^^ (another 408)

total: 1250 so far


tonight me and braedan are catching up to talk things through. i have no idea how its going to go... part of me wants to end it completely... that would be my brain, saying i dont need to be distracted by him next year when i'm gunna be insanely busy on placement, and its not logical to stay with him cause it wont last when i travel overseas in a couple of years anyway. my heart, on the other hand, has put its foot down, refusing to let go the man who's made me the happiest i've been, and treated me better than any other man i've ever dated... and is even hoping we somehow make the travel thing work... although it's at a loss as to how exactly we'll do that... it's given me the "we'll deal with that when we come to it" card. i'm not impressed, i wish those two would get along!!

Click to expand...

thanks soco, appreciate it. Even though i've been unhealthy, i havent gone as far as i used to, eating entire pizzas, drowning hot chips in mayo AND gravy, etc etc. Definitely taking this as a stepping stone, its not where i wanna be yet, but i'm still heading in the right direction. two steps forwards, one step back is STILL progress, after all.

thanks for the support everyone, means a lot to know support is there, good times and bad :) xx
 
Hey Katie!!!

Just thought I'd drop by and say hi and congrats on all your hard work! Just read through your diary :)

My name is Katie too, I'm 5'10 and a college student who used to play basketball in highschool and at my heaviest I weighed in at 288 - we've got some things in common :D

Today I weighed in at 203 pounds so altogether I've lost 85 pounds in about 2 years.

Just keep doing what your doing and making small steady changes! It really works in the long run. I didn't steadily lose all that weight I had ups and downs and I would lose some and gain it back then lose somemore, etc.

The key to success is never giving up! No matter how many bad days you have if you keep trying and eating healthier then eventually you will succeed.

Also I totally agree with you about how now if you have a bad day its still alot better than bad days in the past!

Keep up the great work hun!

So apparently i have some kind of chronic indigestion triggered by stress, alcohol, fatty foods, anxiety, acidic foods like orange juice and a collection of other things. Unlike normal indigestion, which is just heartburn for like an hour after eating, mine is like constant ache in my stomach and feeling like i need to chunder, gas etc.

Me and Braedan talked for hours and decided to stay together. we have heaps to work on but we both wanna make the effort to make it work.

Spent most of the weekend away in Mt Gambier with Braedan (something we had arranged 6 months ago, poor timing but too late to bail as it was his uncles 60th) i spent the entire weekend either throwing up or feeling nauseous. Great, when ur surrounded by his extended family trying to leave good impressions. Guh.

Think i might go see a doc (if i can? the week before xmas :s)

Food wise... guess it doesnt matter much on the weekend, the only thing i kept down was some spaghetti on sunday night.

Will start the details again as of today:

1 cup pasta with bolognese and parmesan (300) and 2 pieces of toast (250)
 
What could be causing your stomach pain and vomiting is ulcers. They develop from stress and are like sores in your stomach; it can also mess with your indegestion. I've had like a ton of stress so I'm not just blurbing out random medical facts, cause I've had them and they hurt... pain at all makes me kinda nauseas, just from the start. But ulcers are kinda like a little dull ache in your stomach, and the acid build up which causes the sores could cause you to reject food.

They will eventually go away on their own, as any sores do, but you'll want to go to a doctor and get that diagnosed because it may or may not be ulcers! It just kinda sounds like it; they give medicine for it to reduce stomach acid I think... but the best cure is to stop stressing!

For me when people told me that I was like "GRR shush you don't know what I'm going through," and it was true, and I still don't listen to them, but if you can... do, because it impedes weight loss somehow, I've read, and I think its true... but I'm not sure. Stress makes your body freak out and it wants to preserve everything when you freak out, so buy a zen book or something, get a scented candle, or just read a nice book on a quiet night and relax :) everything will be OK eventually.

What I learned is that everything in life can cause stress, but some things you just gotta say screw it or vamoose... because it will not make your life easier and you simply do not need to waste time that's only gonna make you feel crappy. I've done away with a few people, activities, and worries... and I haven't had an ulcer in a while. :) AND I'm losing weight!!

I hope you feel better soon, DO go to a doctor, and do something fun that you enjoy really soon - don't do anything silly like stress over a (reasonable) slice of cake and ENJOY your christmas!

Edit:

I just read through your journal and your relationship - and if he makes you happy you should stay with him. Whatever makes you happy! I think if I really loved someone it would kill me to let them go. Stress without < happy with. :)

Thanks Fae, yeah, i'm definitely planning to go to the docs after xmas, i had already questioned maybe an ulcer, as i have been pretty stressed lately. makes me wonder how im going to deal with uni next year if i cant even handle a relationship speed-hump!

mum thinks it might be gall stones, or an infection or something. braedan thinks its indigestion. i dont know WHAT it is but i know when i force myself to relax, i seem to feel better.

cheers for the advice though, i think i do stress too much, might even look into some meditation or something. mum wants me to try hypnotherapy???

will definitely be enjoying my christmas, prawns and turkey and xmas pudding and all, although i plan to ENJOY all of them rather that eating so much of everything i feel sick, which has happened in the past... gunna pace myself, and enjoy a little bit of everything this year :)

just wrapped up all my xmas pressies, they look so pretty, i think wrapping pressies is one of my FAVOURITE parts of xmas, which sounds weird, guess it less my creative side run free temporarily.. shiny paper, ribbon, more ribbon, shiny/dangly/cute tags, glitter, tinsel, i spend a few ghours wrapping pressies even though i dont have many to give (stupid student budget, grr)

as for food, been pretty good the last few days, had a schnitzel last night but hardly any chips and lots of salad, i really dont have the time to write everything i eat and count calories every day, but I will try and get rough amounts at least for the rest of the holidays, hopefully train myself into good habits. Not gunna include fruit and veg in my counts any more... so many diets say fruit and veg is unlimited... so im just gunna eat them at will (hot chips, although technically veg, will be included though :p)

today has just been a big bowl of pasta (700) with cheese (50) as i woke up around midday... again. this time out of sheer laziness than emotions though, felt so good :)

might go to the gym for a good ol stretch now :) xx
 
Dear diary,

I know every year i promise you i'll lose weight, but 2011, i have decided, is year of the Kate. Not only will i be losing weight, but i'll training myself for a lifetime of healthy choices. More gym. More weights. Less deep fried anythings. More meditation. Less stress. I know it's not going to be easy, and i have no doubt i'll have bad days, but thats what is going to make this year work. I'm making it realistic. Even if i only have 2 good days to every one bad day, i'll be moving forwards. By the end of the year, I will still be me, but a happier, healthier, fitter version of me... and I cant wait :)

Just because i love setting targets, 20kg needs to go this year, and my reward... a trip to Canada!! Only if i stick it out though, incentive, much? Short term goal is getting back under 125kg, hopefully before uni goes back on 31st jan, otherwise before my 22nd birthday in mid february :) but my REAL goal is to get into healthy habits with food and exercise, i want them to be HABITS, not an effort. THAT... is my biggest goal for the year, i want unhealthy food to be the 'change in regular diet' rather than the other way around. And i want to miss exercise when i take a few days off, i used to feel that way back when i was playing basketball 8 times a week, and i want that feeling back, addiction to exercise.

2011 is going to be my year, a great year, i can just feel it :)

Kate
