Good eats... at least, they once were.

[Lilyofthevalley]

I agree with your post in your diary about self-sabotage, Anke. It's ridiculous. I ate 6 mini sugar donuts last night and ate the other four this morning. They're just SOOOOOO delicious. The restaurant had closed an hour and a half before we got there, but they still made them for us. I know it doesn't count for anything because I could have said no thanks, but it was my sister's idea... haha I know that's no excuse. Ah well.

I did still stay in my calorie range, though... I just don't know how horrible it is for me.

Blehhh.

I haven't been here much lately...just too busy, but I thought I'd poke my head in for a few minutes today. Wow! You're down more than 34 pounds! That is terrific.

Congrats!!

 

[Lilyofthevalley]

wellll, it's more like 32.8 pounds, but I plan to keep on losing!

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate any and all support I can get!

I'm going to cut down to weighing myself twice a week (seriously this time-- I have WILLPOWER!!) so I can see a greater change (maybe that will help with the plateau-mindset.)

I CAN do this!

 

[Lilyofthevalley]

I went to the new dollar store in town, and got some candy, but I portioned it out this time. No scarfing down 250-some calories from my candy!

Yayyyyy!!!

I did well today.

Cheers!

There were fun-size bags of peanut M&Ms at work today. I ate three, total calories 250.

Then I went to an after-work happy hour and ate some popcorn chicken, about the same amount as what is in a large Sonic jumbo popcorn chicken. So that's what I noted it as. Meant I couldn't have dinner, and I did some pilates to try to work some of it off!

I did bad. You did well!

I had taco bell tonight it was pretty heavenly. Chicken Quesidilla and a Soft Chicken Ranchero Taco *yummm* Have you ever tried their caramel apple empanadas? They are to die for!

Even though I like chocolate, I'm more of a hard or sour candy kinda person. I like to eat gobstoppers (they're like miniature jaw breakers) but I only suck on them until the hard shell is gone. Once I get to the sweetart kinda center, I throw it away. I don't even count the calories I get from them cuz I figure it can't be more than 5-10 and it takes a while to suck the hard outer shell off them.

Ah, look at the bright side! At least you didn't scarf down a whole family-sized bag of those delightful chocolate treats (I have, but just the plain ones. I had SUCH a bad stomachache! )

Oh goodness! I LOVE their chicken quesadillas, but I'm a big fan of simplifying my food there. No nutritional reason, I just don't like a lot of the stuff that they put on the gorditas (like lettuce, tomato, sour cream, etc...) I'm a purist. Haha..

Sometimes I don't even suck them haha..



Thanks everyone for posting!!
It makes me happy to see that people are reading this!

When I lived in England and got depressed I'd eat a big bag of them. But their big bags are much smaller than ours, maybe 1/3 the size.

Wow... Bigger than family size? bejeezus, I can't believe you're not like a bajillion pounds!



haha... I had a Burger King meal tonight. Large fries, 8 nuggets, diet coke... and allyphoe, if you're reading this, I know it's bad. I know. But it's seriously my favorite food. Ever. I gotta keep myself sane.

Haha, I did pretty well calorie wise! Yay!!



How are you guys doing? Haha I love how my thread turned in to the candy craving hot spot.

<3 Annie

 

[txsqlchick]

No, they're much smaller over there, not bigger. I think living over there and walking/biking as much as I did kept me from getting bigger than my biggest. When the weather was nice, I'd ride my bike to the supermarket and carry the groceries back in my basket and panniers. I also rode the bus to work (like most people) and did errands at lunch that involved about 20 minutes of straight walking at breakneck speed.

 

[Lilyofthevalley]

ohhhhhh okayyyy... haha
198.6. Not weighing in again until next tuesday!
Here's to hoping I can muster up some willpower!

I'm going to Ledo's Pizza for dinner. Killlllerrrrrr! Awesome!

Do any of you have any nutritional info for a personal white pizza lurking around? I don't know how to calculate that... is it more calories than regular pizza, or less? More probably, right? Because there's more oil and stuff?

Rawr! I'm probably going to eat 1/2 to 2/3 of a personal. I have a lot of calories, and if I still go over, that's ok. I'm probably (definitely) going to have a brownie afterwards, too. So !

Cool cool! I'm awfully hungry right now-- I'm looking for a low cal snack that tastes good. How good are shrimp? I don't have any right now, but they're in the freezer, so I can have them whenever. Any suggestions (that I would like??)??



I'm feeling particularly happy today. I have no idea why, but I like it.

<3 Annie

 

[Lilyofthevalley]

oh man! I had THE BEST PIZZA EVER for dinner tonight!

And I got a brownie!

And I didn't go over my calories! Actually, I didn't come close! So I had the other half of my brownie and now I'm eating dried apricots and drinking sugar free hawaiian punch (blue berry typhoon!) with fiber!

YAYYYYY!!

I'm trying to get my fiber up since I haven't *cough cough* in a while.


uh... yeah


bye!

 

[allyphoe]

allyphoe, if you're reading this, I know it's bad. I know.

LOL. I'm not gonna be your food police. I've led you to the water - totally up to you whether you decide to drink it.

Mmm, shrimp. I do my own cocktail sauce with ketchup, lemon juice, and horseradish (prepared, but not creamy - it's usually in the refrigerated section near the sour cream, but sometimes they'll have shelf-stable ones near the mustard). Very tasty, high in protein.

I spent a high school year in Germany, was miserably depressed (it is dark there all the freaking time!), and ate a couple 100g candy bars a day. But I walked 4 miles each way to school (so I could spend bus fare on chocolate), so didn't gain as much as I otherwise would have.

Haha good. I dun need no stinkin popo trailin me!
(Oh, for those of you who aren't american/gangsta/southerners, popo is police, not poo poo. )

haha, if I had the choice between chocolate and bus fare, I'm pretttttty sure I'd take out a loan and have both. But then I'd be fat. And not happy (except for when I'm eating chocolate) So I think I'd be in a bit more of a predicament than you were. iggy:

Here is my link to my food journal on fitday for those of you who don't want to go searching through my diary for the link I've already provided.


I did good today! I went to a craft fair and walked around for like 3 hours... ate 2 slices of pizza... DIDN'T HAVE ICE CREAM OR FUNNEL CAKE also didn't have deep fried oreos/snickers bar And then I stopped at ten nuggets and a small order of fries even though my mom had 7 more nuggets and she wasn't going to eat her fries.

WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Well... I haven't weighed myself. This shows a level of self control that I had not ever seen before. So, weigh in Tuesday!

I did pretty well today, I did have a bit of candy, but I stayed under 1400.

All is well in Annietopia!

We may go out to sonic for dinner, my mom and I, because we haven't been there and she really wants to go. So I said sure. I just need to work out my calories so I don't go overboard.

Yayyyyyy!!!

Thanks for reading, I appreciate it.

OMG we just got two new Sonics in Minnesota this summer and I HAVE BEEN DYING TO GO THERE! I always see the commercials for the delicious looking Ice creamy things like the cookie dough blast and was always really sad because we've never had one around, Its been one of my goals to get there before the year is over! What do you like there??

Calories-wise, Sonic is doable for me as long as I don't get the large sizes. There's a Steak n Shake next door to Sonic and it's soooo tempting as their fries are so tasty. But I'll resist.

I try to avoid fast food but every once in a while I'll get some. "Fast food" for me now means low-calorie microwave meals.

By far the biggest issue for me is the fact that most socializing here in Dallas seems to take place over plates of food at restaurants. Yikes.

OMG I <3 Steak and Shake too! Lol my boyfriend makes fun of me and always tells me that I "get a hard-on" for resturaunts that I cant eat at (sry for the language lol) but we dont have any steak and shakes either around MN so when I go on vacation I always have to hit up these Joints, its probably why I love them so much lol. Another one of my favs is the 7-11 Slurpees (we dont have those either) and the Golden Corral *best carrot cake ever*

Lol, sry Annie I didnt mean to make your diary a fast food paradise but I got so excited I couldnt help it! Stay strong, your doing awesome!
