I'm aiming for 59kg

Thanks rainbow. Yeah. Today has been a better day though. I've been to town and did not succumb to any temptations. IN fact i wasn't tempted. I still think as far as my diet goes, there isn't a better approach Amy, for me. LImiting hte damage is best. But if i get that hormone thing happening or whatever it is that says in my head "gimme sugar" then i simply have to have it and have it until i am stuffed. I can actually stuff myself with other things and that might enable me to limit the amount of sugar i would be able to take in (and fat). I don't know. Maybe next time i'll try that.


Yeah money is better spent on getting help but help is not at hand when needed unfortunately and i am spending money on that too. But next time i go shopping for junk food, i will definitely try not to buy so much of it. I was tempted the morning after to throw it all away but jane said to give it to john and dad - when we talked about it. But i didn't want to give it to them because then they'd have seen how much i ate so i felt it better to eat it myself - particularly once i started. I could have thrown it down the sink or somewhere though. OH well next time.


That done, i am now trying to be gently back on teh wagon. I had a good brekkie and a good lunch although i had two courses then.

I do want to resume running or walking though as i know activity is really important for me to keep the weight from going up too fast.


I am even not bothering to get on the scale. I don't htink its that i am afraid of what i will see but to be honest, i don't feel energetic or motivated that's why i'm not being rigorous and following my reporting format of before.


I know that i can only follow my diet really well when my mood is right. The challenge is to get my mood right and to keep it there. Everything else will follow from there.


Thanks ladies for showing support.
 





The literature concerning appetite and weight changes in depressive illness is reviewed. Diminished appetite and weight loss have for about 100 years been regarded as prominent symptoms of depressive illness. A tendency for some depressives to gain weight has also been recognized. About 85 % of depressives lose weight and 15 % gain weight. There appears to be a tendency for weight gain to be commoner in milder depressions. Carbohydrate craving is also described in association with some depressed states.



The neurochemical control of appetite in health is surveyed. Norepinephrine appears to be necessary for the intake of food, and drugs which raise intrasynaptic levels of norepinephrine stimulate feeding. Serotonin seems to be associated with satiety and in experimental animals decreased intrasynaptic levels of serotonin produce carbohydrate hunger.



The neurochemical control of appetite is discussed in relation to the amine theories of depression. A number of hypotheses are drawn from this discussion.

I had risotto for dinner, I've had wine, cheese and ryvitas and some raisins. More than i should but better than sweet food.


I also went for a longish walk around our suburbs delivering a message to the householders in my suburb. (i'm trying to start an online community noticeboard). So i got some exercise in and that was good. Soem big hills involved too.
 
I think i am fairly ok now. I am not as good as i was but i am going to try to follow my diet again now.


yesterday wasn't so great in terms of how much i ate but it was quite good in that i didn't go and stuff my face with icecream and such, though i did have some honey on weetbix late at night.


It occurred to me that staying up late is really bad for a diet. Its a tip i would put in my weight loss tips thread if i could find it. Cause when i stay up late i watch tv and then of course one wants to eat.


Anyway, i got up late this mornign a 9.15 or thereabouts.


For breakfast, it may look bad but i think it was pretty good

1 pancake

1 fried egg

2 small tomatos cooked in the microwave

about 1/2 cup of ratatouille - had to use this up

1/2 cup of yoghurt


I could have got away easily with less yoghurt


Anyway as hearty breakfasts go this was yummy and good. I am so happy to have got the pancake idea from decision maker. I'm loving it though i am not eating them all the time. They just make a nice change from oats and bread and are not very much worse in dietary terms. yeah i used white flour and yeah i use a dob of butter but i could use a bit of olive oil too. Otherwise its an egg and 1/2 cup of milk.


I also had coffee.


I haven't got my motivation back for running yet. I may have to force myself to go for a walk to try to kickstart that again. I really don't want to fall back into old habits and fatness again.

click on thumbnails for previous days. Food listed. See how i never forgot you while i was away. :D
 
I'm going to try doing calorie counting now for a while. I"ve set my current weight to 57kg though it actually isn't anymore. Anyhow i can eat 1700 calories per day. It would be good if i had an accurate idea of what amount of foods constitue 57kg.


Interestingly, at first i put in 165cm and then i was looking for 164 but it only had 163. There is 400 calorie difference between 2 cm and also i changed my age from 47 to 48 because i am almost 48 now. I thought i was 165 but that says 5.5 feet and i am 5. 4.5 feet so maybe i should aim for 1500 per day. Now for the arduous task of figuring out what i can eat for 1500 calories.

Body Mass Index (BMI)





Your BMI



9.7





BMI is a standardized ratio of weight to height, and is often used as a general indicator of health. The "normal" BMI for an adult woman of your height is 18.5 to 24.9. This translates to a healthy weight range of 108 to 146 lbs.However, BMI does not take body composition into account. A weight above this range could still be considered healthy if your percentage body fat is less than average. For more accurate determination of body fat levels, consider using a body fat caliper.

Sigh i can't do it. The first thing i wanted to eat after posting this was some leftover risotto for lunch. the idea of having to go through and figure out all the calories was too daunting. It would be the same for dinner when i ate a large baked potato with some dal on top and yoghurt and had salad on the side with dressing.


I also had 2 glasses of red wine tonight.


Later on, no longer worrying about calories or being accountable i had some weetbix with milk and dried fruit and a cup of nescafe


This afternoon whilst visiting friends, i had 1.5 scones with light margerine. and nescafe.


I seem to have totally lost the plot. but anyhow i shall try to continue reporting at least and hope that motivation and discipline can return before i get back to my starting weight.


I'm up late again tonight. its now 11pm. But that's what happens when you get up after 9am isn't it.


I made a doctors appt but can't see her until next week.


I was reading about depression and appetite last night. I did read that there is an accepted correlation between mild depression and increased appetite for carbohydrates. I would say that fits my experience. When i am more severely depressed, i lose my appetite for sure.
 
ASo glad you are enjoying the pancake business! I actually really enjoy pancakes with wholemeal flour too - might be worth a shot.

I am the same with calorie counting at the moment... just too hard... especially when I cook without a recipe - just by feel. I'm sick of that rigidity of weighing, calculating, etc. "Arduous task" indeed.

And yes, definitely can understand the link between milk depression and carb cravings. Bugger about the doc appointment. Hate that.
 
AI'm happy your feeling a bit better, and you are back in control of your eating :) Weighing is a pain in the arse sometimes. If you make something without a recipe... like beef stew or risooto or anything, instead of totting up all the ingredients, you could weigh the whole lot and use a shop bought one as a calorie guide. It won't be exact, but it will give you a figure.

Your photos are truly spectacular. Were you a professional photographer?

I noticed that when you put your weight in the bit above, it was 57 lbs, not 57 kilos, so I think what it's saying is wrong.
 
dm what is milk depression... oh ha ha i get . You had me going for a bit though.


Well i wouldn't go so far as to say i am in control of my eating ruth. Last night i binged on peanuts and sultanas. But at least i didn't go to the shop and buy shit.


Anyhow, i am winding the control rope back in so i am keeping on trying at this point. Mostly i am eating well i am jsut still eating too much. But it was good i made myself go to bed at 11pm last night and so i could get up around 8am when the alarm went off. slowly slowly does it and i will get back. At this point i am really glad that i gave myself a year to monitor things even after i reached goal so between it and the forum its all going to help i think.


What i realise now is that there will probably always be these glitches and i just have to minimise them. My idea of getting back on teh wagon - though not original of course - is still the best and is working here though i thought it might not for a bit. So yeah, don't give up, though i nearly did i must say.


I think getting my get up and get things done motivation is still one of hte major problems. I suppose if i can start by doing one significant task a day i will slowly get there too.


But this mornign i had another pancake with dal, yoghurt and microwaved tomatos. And yes Joh, i have sent my sister off to town to buy me some wholemeal flour. So i will try wholemeal pancakes.


I've got borlotti beans soaking today for some sort of mexican thing tonight. I hope.


Photos - oh i did study it which does help. But i've never earned a living off it.
 
AHA! Milk depression? What the? I meant MILD - whoops! What an egit! Sorry!

You don't seem to be doing too bad to me, lovely. A binge on sultanas and peanuts doesn't really fit into my idea of 'binge' (where are the chips and chocolate brownies and ice cream?) - you are doing alright. Don't beat yourself up so much!

Did you attempt your one significant task today? You should feel free to write about that on here too.

Looking forward to the rundown on the wholemeal flour!
x :grouphug:
 
Hi Joh. I can't remember what significant task i did yesterday. I remember one i didn't do. I didn't kill a drake after all. But i think i did something. Maybe it was to start painting my caravan. But i can hardly remember if i did that yesterday or the day before.


Today's significant task was to get my tooth out finally. And it didn't cost me anything which is excellent. I did another thing too which i hope will prove to be significant in the long term. It will only become significant if this is the start of something. That is i went along to a Buddhist meditation centre. I am going to try to go regularly even though i wish i didn't have to spend the petrol money to get there. But in order to develop a mindfulness practice, i believe i have to go to something regularly to keep me focussed on it. Also i said to them when i was there, in order for me to really develop this practice i need to avoid getting bored iwth it all and so i said perhaps the easiest way for me to do that is participate a bit more in stuff. You know helping out in some way or other. there's a speaker coming on SAturday and because i can't afford to pay, i am going to help out by helping set up instead. So let's hope this is the start of something significant. The message i took away tonight was "behave like the buddha". That's a bit tricky if you don't know much about how the buddha behaved. I do know a little bit and i can only start there.


This might help me with my eating. I hope so. Among other things.


Now to food. Well i also baked some peanut butter biscuits that weren't very good but i ate them all anyway.


Today i haven't been very good either. I went to town late because i thought it might help me spend less money and it did though i still spent quite a bit and some of it on junk food. 2 small chocolate bars, a bag of butterscotch caramels, an iced coffee with cream and icecream in it, two cakes with whipped cream, um, that's all. NOw i know that's an incredible amount of junk but i actually did well to stop myself buying more junk to eat straight away this time. After the caramels.


Breakfast was some toast with butter and jam and coffee. Dinner was 1 cup of dal. After the mediation which was this evening, dal is all i've eaten . Oh my goodness that's not true. I just ate 4 weetbix with some chopped prunes. The dal wasn't enough and i needed to eat something soft and not hot and i didn't want to cook because its late.


Now i hope tomorrows significant task will be some weeding on the mounds and some more painting. I need to get the weeding done soon as my pumpkin seeds are coming up and they need somewhere to go in the ground. And the mounds is where i want them to go.
 
WEll its early yet to be reporting food but i just woke up and had a great insight that will help with this family land crisis. In Buddhism they are big on detachment, believing that attachment (to things, people, anything) is the root of suffering. They are quite right. Anyway i remembered this this morning and decided i can just let all the fight over the garden go. Its not that i am giving up on the garden or that i think John is right etc, but just that i am not going to fight about it. But deeper and more importantly, I guess, in my heart i can let it go so i won't feel any loss over it.


It was nice going to bed thinking that from now on "i will behave like the buddha". Its easy even though i don't actually know all about how the buddha behaves. Earlier reading i've done has given me a headstart though.


When i told dad last night, he pointed out the fatness of the buddha. And i had to agree. Except that, not all buddhas are fat. Certainly its hard to imagine a buddha eating what i ate yesterday. Now for today's challenge - to be somewhat moderate iwth my food.

Thursday 25 August 2011 Back in diet mode



So hopefully the buddha will keep me motivated today.



Weight: 63.8kg - I bit the bullet and jumped on the scales. I can’t say I’m very surprised at the results. It's probably a bit worse than I had anticipated though.



Now to avoid getting too hungry, I have to get busy with things and not spend the whole day sitting in my chair with laptop on my lap and so on. I’ve got to get out in the garden and if I could go for a long walk or jog that would be even better....



9.am: coffee with ½ cup milk



9.00AM: Breakfast

Pancake w 2 fried eggs total 2tsp oil



Pancakes recipe

½ wholemeal self-rasising flour

½ cup milk

1 egg

Pinch salt

1tsp oil



Mix all except oil. Make pan hot. Test a spoonful of mix to make sure pan is hot enough. Then pour in all the mixture. Cook one side quite well. Flip and finish off the other.



2 pm lunch

2 steamed dim sims stir fried broccoli and pumpkin, shallots and bok choi

1 ryvita with a sliver of ricotta and 1 tbsp of avocardo

1 nescafe



Not such a great recipe so I won’t write it up.



6.30pm pre-dinner snack

Glass wine

1 ryvita with cheddar



7.00pm: dinner

1 cup penne pasta w sauteed aubergine and capsicum

Parmesan

1 tbsp olive oil

1 orange

Then Jane offered me a piece of the fruit cake she just made. It was a large piece. I said no at first then I caved in. And then I remembered that I was allowed offerings.



Reflections on food

Well i've eaten a bit much but i've eaten a lot of vegies so that part is good. I think while i am trying to get back in the swing of being highly motivated, I am not going to push myself too much re food and quanity. I am going to focus on eating right and at meal times. Once i am more active, then i will try harder with the quantities and weight loss.



All this has reminded me, if i didn't know already, that its just about pointless to try to lose weight if you are depressed or in an emotionally bad place. I think you need to be happy and feeling strong to start a diet and stay on it.



Exercise & activity:

Halleluya I went for a walk. That was my buddha walk. The buddha made me do it. I started off trying to run but I didn’t feel like it. I walked 8km so that’s good. I did a little bit of work in the garden. Not as much as I want to do but a start is a start and again the buddha made me do it. :D (I suppose its much the same if you call God to your side, though I am trying to BE Buddha so its not exactly the same).



Hmm I’m up late now. Its 10.30 almost but hopefully I will be in bed soon though I’m not tired.



Whilst walking I had a good thing. I hope I can maintain this focus on trying to behave like the buddha because it certainly is very helpful. It helped me work through some stuff about my sister in a more productive, less negative and antagonistic way. It has been challenging, though I suppose minorly today. With Jane that is. I don’t want to go on about the details. Partly because I am too lazy to document my mental processes. Partly because I wonder if there’d be any point to it. The important thing is that I did process stuff in a useful way. When I got back from my walk, I was able to make a useful challenge to Jane without causing any antagonism but giving her something to think about. This is significant so I will tell you. I asked her if she thought that only two sessions with the councillor would be enough to heal our relationship - she indicated to me earlier that she didn’t think she needed any more sessions, that she’d got enough out of it. But because she had - almost immediately after saying that - done something that indicated to me there was still a way to go, I knew she and maybe we do need more than two. But I didn’t want to bring that little incident up because it would only start an argument. So I am quite proud of myself the way I handled this. I think she realised that the point I was making was valid. I think she may have overlooked the reason for the councilling in the first place. That said, she does have a fair point about timing and how doing councilling while she is at work in full swing would not be suitable - particularly since we’d not be in the same country let alone living in the same place.



So all up I’m pretty happy with my first day of trying to behave like a buddha. Often my life isn’t particularly challenging in this regard. Its only when I am around people like my sister that its really challenging and she will be going soon.



Sleep:

Bed last night: 11pm

Get up:8.30am
 
Hey i just wanted to stop by and say you are doing so well, and looked AMAZING in India!! Like incredibly thin!!! Soooooooo jealous!!!



Keep up the fab work hun!xox
 
So hopefully the buddha will keep me motivated today - This could become my little daily prayer. I’m going to leave it here to remind me.


Friday 26 August 2011 Back in slow diet mode

Weight: 62.8kg



8.am: coffee with ½ cup milk



9.00AM: Breakfast

2 weetbix, 1 cup milk, 1 small apple

1 more coffee w ½ cup milk



11.45 pm lunch

Dal and rice with tomato and avocardo salad and yoghurt



1 cup cooked rice

1 cup dal

1 tomato

1.5 tbsp avocardo

Lemon juice

½ cup yoghurt



2 glasses red wine before dinner



7.00pm: dinner

2 serves cauliflower and potato concoction



This is an easier version of cauliflower au gratin you could say.

Head of cauliflower - steamed, then mashed finely with a knife by chopping

3-4 potatoes - boiled in salted water and mashed with milk and butter as usual

3 tbsp of grated parmesan

½ cup yoghurt (though the original recipe uses cream)

2 tbsp olive oil

One more tbsp parmesan

¼ or less nutmeg, grated

Salt and pepper



Combine the cauliflower and mashed potato. (YOu can also just chop the potatoes and mash the cauliflower with a whizzer if you prefer). Add in 3tbsp parmesan, yoghurt, nutmeg, black pepper. Grease a baking dish with olive oil. Tip in the mixture, sprinkle with remaining parmesan, drizzle over remaining olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated oven on 180C



You can see its not hard to reduce the amount of olive oil.



The original recipe says this would go well with stew or braised meat. I agree but I ate it on its own.



Exercise & activity: I’ve done some painting. And killed a duck. I had thought about going for a walk but probably left it a bit late and anyway I wasn’t sure if it was a great idea.



I must say it is nice to carry the idea of behaving like a buddha around for motivation all day. That said, I know I still haven’t done quite as much as I could have but I haven’t done anything I regret either. So that’s also very important



Sleep:

Bed last night: 12pm

Get up:7,45am



With a picture of me. :D I will let you in on a secret. I didn't like the way i looked so i chopped off a good part of my head. I think its slightly improved though the angle of view isn't particularly flattering.



http://www.photoblog.com/shangrila/2011/06/19/day-27-halls-creek.html#comments
 
Weight: 61.4kg I don’t understand the meaning of my weight falling so fast in the last two days. Especially not since today my period started and usually I weigh more at this time. Oh well. I am not getting stressed about it. It would just be nice to think that 61.4 could be my true weight though I am inclined to take a more cautious position on that.



Saturday 27 August 2011 Back slowly in diet mode



8.am: coffee with ½ cup milk



9.00AM: Breakfast

2 weetbix, 1 cup milk, 1 small apple



10.30am 1 nescafe



11.45 pm lunch

Tomato sandwich with no butter. Just bread and tomato

1 apple



3.30pm afternoon tea at the Buddhist thing.

Well I ate a bit but that’s why I had a very light lunch

2 nescafes

2 lovely biscuity things.

My special curried egg on salada biscuits

Bit of fruit - not much



My special curried egg recipe

Eggs, mashed

Mayonnaise or what I used was dijonnaise

Since I didn’t have curry powder per se, I used Indian chaat masala which is a special spice mix used in an indian dish called chaat.



7.30pm: dinner

Glass red wine

Cauliflower and potato concoction from last night

Left over rice and dal

Didn’t have time to make a proper dinner



Exercise & activity: No exercise today or much activity around the garden as I am heading off shortly to a buddhist talk. I think its about meditation or buddhism in everyday life.



Last night I read about karma again. I am very much against the concept as I cannot believe in reincarnation or the afterlife which is integral to karma. That said, I definitely believe in cause and effect in this life though I still think there’s a randomness in life where good people can suffer incredible tragedies without rhyme or reason and bad people sometimes get away with things without due punishment. (The way karma explains this is things is about what happened in our past lives - so i reject that as total rubbish). But when all is said and done, a surer way than any other to happiness is to try to be a good person. I think Buddhism gives us excellent guidance in this. And its not just about doing good deeds out there which is where the emphasis in christianity is. What goes on in your head is very important also in buddhism. How we think leads to better or worse actions. For example, stop yourself thinking negatively about people close to you, policitians, anyone basically because this affects your deep self. Meditation helps you become more aware of your thoughts.



Oops I didn’t mean to start a lecture about buddhism but It seems I can’t help myself.



Later: I’m home from the buddhist talk. Although it was interesting and I had an enjoyable afternoon there, I felt the talk was unmotivating and disappointing. Buddhism proper is less good than my version of it. I knew that and its hardly surprising since it was created in older times where people had quite a backwards view of how the world works. But we know better now. Perhaps also, its just that an uninspired teacher was teaching. Well what I have to do is pay less attention to those aspects I don’t care for/can’t believe or even respect. And focus on what is useful for me and credible. That at least is possible with something like buddhism. You can take what you want and leave the rest. And there is a lot of good in buddhism. Its just a question of where you put the emphasis.



Sleep:

Bed last night: 10.30pm

Weight: 62.2kg





Sunday 28 August 2011 Getting slowly back into diet mode



8.am: coffee with ½ cup milk



8.30 AM: Breakfast

½ cup oats, 1 cup milk, 1 small apple



10.00am: curried egg and lettuce sandwich

I started on my lunch early. Sometimes I get hungry whilst driving somewhere in the morning. I think its probably boredom.



12.30lunch

Remaining curried egg and lettuce sandiwch on wholegrain bread

orange



2pm: various yoghurt desserts and cakes, a cappucino in response to having my wallet stolen and not a terribly successful morning.



6pm: glass red wine



7.30pm: dinner

I went out for a pizza. I ordered a large sicilian with goats cheese and proscuitto

Afterwards I had icecream - quite a lot.



I’m going to read my new book and decided not to worry about being a greedy buddhist today.



Exercise & activity: I passed up a buddhist talk this morning to go to my permaculture group where we were going to do some cleaning up of a community garden. Not so many people turned up but that didn’t bother me. I was disappointed though when everyone seemed to want to clear out after only two hours. So I got a little light activity done and that’s all. Then I discovered that my wallet had been stolen. The disappointment of that sent me into binge mode and I didn’t try very hard to fight it off. I just drove to the shopping centre on my way home and indulged somewhat. I also bought a book on buddhism. Confessions of a buddhist atheist by Stephen Batchelor - which should be right up my alley. I read a very good review of it last night on amazon. Her has another one called buddhism without beliefs. I’d probably prefer to read that one but it wasn’t in the shop. When I got home, after some time, I got out in the garden for a bit of heavy weeding with the mattock. Today was a walking day but I will have to do it tomorrow.

10.30 AM: Breakfast Pancake w 1 fried egg and 2 small fried tomatos. Coffee w ½ cup milk


2pm lunch Plate of left over stir fry vegies and leftover cauliflower mash 6pm: 1.5 glass red wine


7.30pm: dinner 2.5 burritos and salad Followed by a serve of lemon delicious pudding with a large helping of double cream. - Yum. It was Jane’s birthday so I made her a pudding. Burritos made with borlotti beans to my recipe which is pretty good I added some crumbled ricotta cheese on top of the beans instead of yellow cheese. Salad made with 1 tomato 1 grated carrot Half a capscium Tbsp salad dressing.


Exercise & activity: Although my buddhist motivator is in gear I didn’t go for my walk yet. I am trying to read my book. However, I did do some caravan painting and I did do some big grass weeding in the afternoon.


Sleep: Bed last night: not sure what time last night. I was reading till latish. IT could have been 11pm. Get up:9am
